Card Info
Autocast: Every 2 seconds, tower fires a painful shot that deals 85 / 90 / 100 / 110 damage to enemies in a 5m radius around its target, up to 130 / 140 / 150 / 165 in total. Every shot reduces the tower's life points by 50. Tower will no longer attack once its life points have been reduced too far. Knocks back small units.
Active: Activate to sacrifice an own unit in order to transfer the victim's life points into own life points. Reusable every 15 seconds.
Passive: Regenerates 5 life points every second.Notes & Strategies
Lifestealers fulfill a solid early-game defense option since they deal a significant level of damage. However, they are not effective against foes that can deliver high damage at a distance, especially due to their attack siphoning life points.
Lifestealers are very cheap however, and are thusly a perfect throwaway tower for defending frontal positions.
Campaign PvE
Lifestealers can readily hold against a small number of foes alone, and can assist against an early army when supported.
Against opponents with very long range, or siege capabilities, the Lifestealer will quickly turn to rubble.
It is not recommended to take this tower into higher difficulties due to there being a greater amount of foes that can smash it early on.
Random PvE
Lifestealers can be good for creating a "Buffer Zone" to pull the foes in the first camp into range. This is a viable tactic if you are unfamiliar with advanced tactics.
Outside of this, the Lifestealer has minimal other uses.
