What are buildings?
Buildings are the backbone of a deck. They are the stationary emplacements that dictate territory and control: Denying all opposition from passing without a fight. While others benefit the offensive march, or fuel the war engine to victory!
Buildings are stationary obstacles that are always found in a match. The most basic buildings are those critical to a skylords success: The Power Wells and Monuments that fuel their decks! Other buildings may be summoned by the skylords or be present as an obstacle on the battlefield which must be surpassed.
They are often used by skylords when they need to defend an objective, support an offensive push, or support their armies or perhaps even fellow skylords from the base back home.
Building Info
All buildings accessible to the player have three constants
- Power - The energy necessary to play them out.
- Orbs - The number of elemental orbs needed to play them out.
- Immobile - It is incapable of movement. With one exception.
Each of these factors are consistent between all buildings, however the traits of each building may differ including if it is even able to attack at all!
Some buildings--like the 
Defense Tower--serve simply to defend territory you've claimed from enemy attack. While others serve more elaborate and sophisticated uses.
Proximity Healing
Units that are within x meter(10??) proximity of a friendly building will start regenerating health at the following rate per second:
Construction Time
Every building that can be played out as a card has a base construction time, over which duration it is built. During this time the building has the Debuff "Under construction", taking 200% increased damage. Below listed, are the exceptions to the average construction time of 20 seconds:
- Instant Construction
These structures are built instantaneously and thus unaffected by construction time modifiers.
- Rapid Construction
These structures are built in 3 seconds (15% of regular construction time).
- Accelerated Construction
These structures are built in 10 seconds (50% of regular construction time).
Tunnel- Makeshift Tower
- Northstar (Frost) / Northstar (Nature) (excluding U0)
- Root Nexus (Frost) / Root Nexus (Nature) (excluding U0) (change not done yet!)
- Normal Construction
These structures are built in 20 seconds (100% of regular construction time).
- Every other building in the game.
- Slowed Construction
These structures are built in 30 seconds (150% of regular construction time).
- Monuments
- Worldbreaker Gun
- The Incredible Mo
- Amii Monument
- Flame Crystal
- Earth Crystal
- Ice Crystal
- Dark Crystal
Construction time modifiers
- If there is no allied Monument or Power Well nearby, and thus cards can only be played Dazed all buildings base construction time is increased by 50%.
- Construction Hut: This card decreases total construction time by 45% / 45% / 45% / 50%.
- Architect's Call: This card decreases total construction time by 25% / 35% / 50% / 50% in an area when cast.
- Kobold Inc.: This card decreases total construction time by 50% (blessed), or 100% (tainted) when activated.
Patch History
- Comet Catcher: Lowered construction time from 30 to 20 seconds to match default construction speed.
- Lifestream: Lowered construction time from 30 to 20 seconds to match default construction speed.
- Northstar (Frost) / Northstar (Nature): Adjusted construction time per upgrade from 20 / 15 / 10 / 10 to 20 / 10 / 10 / 10 seconds.
- Systematic adjustment of Construction Time Display: If a building has a construction time that deviates from the standard 20 seconds, a passive ability was added:
- Rapid Construction:
Construction time is reduced by 85%.
- Accelerated Construction:
Construction time is reduced by 50%.- Tunnel
- Makeshift Tower
- Northstar (Frost) / Northstar (Nature) (excluding U0)
- Slowed Construction:
Construction time is increased by 50%.
