Castle Battle · Troop class

Caster Troops

Mages that slow, root, curse, poison and chain lightning through packed ranks. There are 27 of them, fielded by ten of the ten kingdoms.

What they beat, and what beats them

Every caster troop deals extra damage to Elite (×1.2), Construct (×1.25) and Beast (×1.2) troops.

Shock (×1.2) troops deal extra damage to caster troops.

The multipliers apply to every blow between the two classes, on top of a troop's own powers — a caster troop with a brace or an anti-air bonus still has that too. The whole web is on the classes page.
