> [@Jonathan](#): > > Ooh, a construct weapon! But no construct class There should be a rule that we can’t have a class type Invasions until we have a hero class for that type. (I’m not going to double check so feel free to correct me internet.) But I don’t think Raids is as much of a cookie cutter weapon as Invasions are. Not to mention if you use the weapon it’s a max boost ratio of 3 troops this week. Which is a great way to set up the AI for extra turns this week. Poor planning, poor execution. ---

I mean, I’m looking forward to its future usefulness, but yeah, it’s unlikely I’ll be using it much, if at all, this Invasion for the reason you mentioned (which makes it unnecessary to tie it to this Event, realistically). ---

Are you sure… You must be confusing with Elementals? Trouble with constructs is that they have no stable mass mana generators (most of them random, enchant or X amount of mana) and Turtle Cannon being at least the safest at high levels while most of them focus on defense. Also to mention there is no hero class or viable mythics. I just think this week’s invasion will be a drag even if you can beat the matches. ---

> [@Fiara](#): > > Are you sure… > You must be confusing with Elementals? Yeah my bad. @Grundulum… The constructs I plan to use are also Elementals so I blended the types. ---

What’s the difference between a construct and a mech? ---

Mech is created using science and engineering. Can also be piloted. Constructs are made of stone and other materials and are given movement or life via magic or godly powers. ---

That weapon can recharge itself, aren’t they usually meant to be “Colors A/B, spawns gems of C and D” ? Another thing I’ve been wondering about since I saw that troop months ago in spoilers - does the random enemy also take increased damage if it is a tower … hmm. ---

Every time (to date) we have had a weapon like this that looked like it would fill itself, it was changed at release to fit the pattern you described. Now watch this be the first one to actually fill itself. Edit, post-weekly-reset: LOL. So much for history. ---

Yes the random hitted troop does indeed get 3-5x damage if is a tower. ---

Yet to fire for me and over 30 casts…Now started firing, must have had a blocked chamber 😉 ---

I think a decimal point was misplaced and it’s currently 3%. I’m assuming my 50 casts are too small of a sample size. So I would love to hear if the community is having different results than me. ---

it seemed like a much lower chance to me as well.
