Castle Battle · Troop class

Siege Troops

Engines with the longest reach on the field, built to bring keeps and works down. There are 21 of them, fielded by ten of the ten kingdoms.

What they beat, and what beats them

Every siege troop deals extra damage to Titan (×1.3), Legend (×1.25), Construct (×1.5) and Levy (×1.2) troops.

Ranged (×1.3) troops deal extra damage to siege troops.

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