Anti-Rock Turret in-game spriteAnti-Rock TurretAdds a defensive turret that shoots falling rocks, not the mountain. One or two are useful when rocks are hurting runners; invest harder only if you are building around Falling Pinatas, Rocket Salvo, or Turret Railgun.Gold: 210
Gold base: 210
Dwarves: 1
Details

Are Anti-Rock Turrets Good?

VerdictAnti-Rock Turret is good as defensive utility, not as your main damage purchase. It protects Runners and enables turret reward scaling, but it does not attack the mountain.
Buy firstBuy one after 2 Scientists when falling rocks are interrupting hauling, killing/stunning workers, or piling up during Demolition Shack or other high-rock-pressure runs.
Skip for nowSkip it when the mountain is dying too slowly or ore is sitting uncollected. In those cases, fix damage or follow the Runners Guide before spending on rock defense.
Best payoffIt becomes much better with Turret Cooling Mechanism, Turret Accuracy, Turret Burst-Fire, Falling Pinatas, Rocket Salvo, Gyro-Stabilized Emplacements, and eventually Turret Railgun.

What It Actually Does

PartExact BehaviorPlayer Takeaway
TargetTargets falling rocks only. It does not shoot the mountain, dens, or normal enemies.Use it to protect Runners, not to speed up direct mountain kills.
PriorityChooses reachable rocks using a score that favors rocks closer to the ground and closer to the turret.This is why it is strongest as a last-line defense around the settlement side of the screen.
AimingLeads moving rocks before firing and must turn its barrel into aim tolerance before the burst starts.Gyro-Stabilized Emplacements helps because turn speed and accuracy both reduce wasted time and missed shots.
Base stats420 range, 0.8-1.2s cooldown, 2 laser bolts per burst, 42% base accuracy, 1 damage per bolt, 350 bolt speed.The base turret is real protection, but it needs Turret Cooling Mechanism and Turret Accuracy before it becomes reliable under heavy rock pressure.
Turret killsWhen a turret projectile destroys a rock, the game marks that rock as destroyed by turret.That marker is what makes Falling Pinatas matter: turret-killed rocks can become extra gold/gem value.

Best Upgrade Path

StepBuyPlayer Takeaway
1Anti-Rock TurretUnlocks after 2 Scientists. Buy one when rock hits are costing hauling uptime or worker safety.
2Turret Cooling MechanismBest early support. It shrinks the normal 0.8-1.2s cooldown; at max tier the listed cooldown multiplier reaches 0.04.
3Turret AccuracyRaises base 42% accuracy by up to +50 percentage points before prestige/artifact bonuses, which means far less shot spread.
4Turret Burst-FireAdds up to +6 bolts per burst, taking the turret from 2 to 8 bolts. Buy once you can spare the mithril and already have at least one turret doing useful work.
5Falling PinatasOnly worth it once turret kills are common. The reward chance improves with the upgrade and also gets +0.1 percentage point per Scientists.
6Rocket SalvoRequires Rocket Salvo prestige, a turret, and 4 Scientists. It adds unguided explosive rockets; chance also gains +4 percentage points per prestige rank and +0.1 percentage point per Scientist.
7Turret Railgun -> Railgun Retrofit -> Railgun CapacitorLate path. Converts one turret into a piercing railgun beam; use it when dense falling-rock waves matter more than another normal turret.

When It Fits A Build

Build SituationUse The Turret How
Spelunker Opening plus Harpoon BallistaGood fit. Spelunkers and Harpoon Ballista can progress mapping/dens without rushing mountain damage, while the turret reduces runner losses from falling rocks.
Demolition Shack or calamity-heavy runsGood fit. Explosive/high-calamity play throws more hazards at your workers, so defensive rock cleanup has real value.
Normal early damage rushLow priority. A first turret can be fine, but multiple turrets before your damage and hauling are stable will slow the run.
Falling Pinatas farmingGood if rocks are already being destroyed by turrets. More Scientists, more turret uptime, and more burst count turn defense into extra loot.
Turret Railgun endgameStrong support path. Railgun Retrofit changes the turret line from simple defense into piercing rock control, and Railgun Capacitor improves that railgun cooldown.

Useful Synergies

Upgrade Or ArtifactWhat It Adds
Turret Cooling MechanismCooldown multiplier tiers: 1.00, 0.88, 0.76, 0.64, 0.52, 0.40, 0.28, 0.16, 0.04.
Turret AccuracyFlat accuracy tiers: +0%, +10%, +20%, +30%, +40%, +50%.
Turret Burst-FireBurst tiers add +0 to +6 bolts per shot, which is the biggest simple multiplier once shots are landing.
Falling PinatasTurret-killed rocks get a better chance to pay out gold/gems; the description also adds a Scientist-based bonus.
Rocket SalvoTurrets can launch unguided rockets that explode in a large radius. Best after the prestige unlock and enough mithril income.
Gyro-Stabilized EmplacementsFirst 1/2 turrets can become free, and anti-rock turrets gain +75%/+150% turn speed plus +3%/+6% accuracy.
Turret RailgunUnlocks Railgun Retrofit, turning a turret into a railgun path.
Railgun RetrofitConverts one turret into a piercing beam. Railgun timing is 6-7s, beam damage is 8 against rocks in its path, Accuracy/Burst still apply, and Cooling only gives half value.
Railgun CapacitorAdds railgun cooldown reduction after the railgun path is open.
Sorcerous SpyglassAdds +10 percentage points of flat accuracy to Ballistas and turrets.

What They Do

RoleLate artillery burst and cannonball damage. Duke Cannons become better after your economy can afford Artillery Hall without starving Alchemy, forging, or your main damage line.
Best useUse them as a late pivot into cannon, rocket, nuke, and den-damage upgrades rather than as an early rush.
Where they matterThey unlock and scale several Artillery Hall branches, including cannon damage, crit, cooldown, den damage, falling-rock collision, rockets, nukes, and air strikes.

Flamelord's Wrath spriteFlamelord's WrathLate Flameworks payoff for fire builds: converts one Flamer into a slower Flamelord that shoots explosive fireballs. It wants Flamer damage, max fire-field stacks, projectile count, and cooldown support before it pays off.Gold shown after unlock
4 tiers
Details

How to Unlock Flamelord's Wrath

Prestige requirementFlamelords prestige must be purchased first.
Worker requirementHave at least 6 Flamers and 5 Runesmiths. The code check is more than 5 Flamers and more than 4 Runesmiths.
ConversionFlamelord's Wrath converts 1 Flamer into a Flamelord. Flamelords attack more slowly, do not create fire fields, and fire exploding fireballs instead.
Fireball formulaSize-1 fireball damage is Flamer damage x max fire-field stacks x 5. Fireball size comes from the number of bolts the Flamelord would have fired.
Main drawbackConverted Flamers stop placing fire fields. If your damage depends on field uptime, keep enough normal Flamers active before converting more of them.
Powder HallPowder Hall is a Demolition, Alchemy, and Nuclear Research unlock. It is not required for Flamelord's Wrath and is not a Flamelord damage multiplier.

How Flamers Work

PartWhat It DoesWhy It Matters For Wrath
Attack cycleFlamers attack every 13-15 seconds before cooldown upgrades. Rapid Ignition lowers that cooldown multiplier down to 0.19 at max tier.More attacks means more fireball rolls per minute.
BoltsFlamers shoot one bolt by default. The bolt creates a fire field and deals (12 + Flamer damage) damage, with fire-bolt artifacts applied.A Flamelord does not create those fields, but its fireball size uses the number of bolts the replaced Flamer would have fired.
Fire fieldsA field ticks every 2 seconds for damage x stack count, lasts roughly 8-14 seconds before duration upgrades, and merges with nearby fields.Normal Flamers still need to create fields for Infernal Symphony and for the max-stack value that makes Flamelord fireballs hit harder.
StacksThe Great Pyre raises max fire-field stacks from 5 up to 25. Inferno adds up to +4 damage per stack.Max stacks directly raises Flamelord fireball damage because the formula multiplies by max stack count.
AmplificationInfernal Symphony makes fire fields amplify other attacks by 2% to 6% per stack. At 25 stacks and max tier, that is 150% bonus damage, or 2.5x total damage for affected hits.This buffs fireballs only while fields still exist; converting too many Flamers can reduce field uptime.
Projectile countDraconic Salvo adds up to +4 projectiles per shot, and Dragon's Claw can add 1 more while cutting Salvo's gold cost.Projectile count is the cleanest Flamelord-specific multiplier because it increases fireball size.

What Buffs Flamelord

Upgrade / SourceBuffs Fireball Directly?Exact Interaction
Rapid IgnitionYesLower cooldown means more Flamelord attacks per minute.
Draconic SalvoYesRaises the bolt count used as fireball size, up to +4 projectiles before artifact help.
Dragon's ClawYesAdds 1 more Draconic Salvo projectile and halves Salvo's gold cost, so it raises the same size multiplier.
The Great PyreYesRaises max fire-field stacks from 5 to 25. The fireball formula multiplies by this max-stack number.
InfernoYesAdds fire damage per stack and also raises the Flamer damage value used by fireball damage.
Searing WoundsYesAdds fire crit chance. It helps if the fireball uses the same fire damage/crit package as Flamer attacks.
Rune of FlameYesRunesmiths raise Flamer damage, and Flamelord fireball damage starts from the Flamer damage value.
Lavalord TotemYesIts passive explicitly reduces cooldown for Flamers and Flamelords by 20%.
Fire Titan CoreYesAdds +20% Flamer damage, which feeds the Flamelord damage formula.
Dragon's EyeYesRaises fire stack damage from saved gold, increasing the damage value used by fire builds.
Endless BlazeYesAdds repeatable +3% Flamer damage per rank, up to 5 purchases per Ascension rank.
Booze And FireYesRaises Fire damage per Brewmaster. That feeds the shared fire/Flamer damage value that Flamelord fireballs start from.
ConflagrationNo direct fireball damageMakes normal fire fields wider. Helpful for Infernal Symphony field coverage, but Flamelords themselves do not create fields.
Insatiable FireNo direct fireball damageExtends normal fire-field duration. It protects field uptime around Flamelords rather than raising fireball damage directly.
Infernal SymphonyIndirectExisting fire fields amplify other attacks by 2% to 6% per stack. Fireballs benefit only while those fields exist.
Powder HallNoThe current Flamelord formula is Flamer damage x max stacks x fireball size x 5. Powder Hall is not in that formula or the Flamelord unlock path.
Enduring EmbersIndirectExtends fire-field duration on hit, which keeps Infernal Symphony fuel available longer.
Infernal FortuneIndirectInfernal Symphony adds Luck to affected damage sources. It helps luck-based side effects, not the base fireball formula.
Dark FlameNo for normal fireball damageThis is den-focused fire-field support. Use it for den pressure, not as a Flamelord damage multiplier.
Salamander SacsNo direct fireball buffIt doubles normal Flamer fire bolts. Keep it for normal Flamers before conversion; the Flamelord fireball formula uses Flamer damage, max stacks, and projectile count, not the normal fire-bolt hit.

Exact Flameworks Upgrade List

UpgradeFlamelord BenefitCode-backed Interaction
FlamerYesFlamelord's Wrath converts a Flamer into a Flamelord. The converted unit still uses the shared Flamer damage, cooldown, projectile-count, crit, and max-stack setup.
Rapid IgnitionYes, directIt changes Flamer attack cooldown. Lower cooldown means the Flamelord fires more fireballs per minute.
ConflagrationNo direct fireball buffIt increases normal fire-field radius. Flamelords do not create fire fields, so this only helps the normal Flamers that keep field support active.
Insatiable FireNo direct fireball buffIt increases normal fire-field duration. That helps Infernal Symphony support, but it does not increase the fireball formula.
InfernoYes, directIt adds Flamer damage per fire-field stack. Flamelord fireball damage starts from Flamer damage, so this raises the base of the fireball calculation.
The Great PyreYes, directIt raises max fire-field stacks. The current full-game fireball formula explicitly multiplies by max stacks.
Searing WoundsYesIt adds fire crit chance. Flamelord fireballs use the shared fire/Flamer damage package, so fire crit support is relevant.
Infernal SymphonyIndirectIt makes existing fire fields amplify other attacks. Flamelord can benefit while normal Flamers keep fields on the mountain; converting every Flamer weakens this support.
Draconic SalvoYes, directIt adds projectiles. Fireball size is based on the number of bolts the Flamelord would have fired, so this is one of Wrath's strongest direct multipliers.
Dark FlameNo for normal mountain damageIt is den-focused fire-field support. It can help den pressure, but it is not part of the normal Flamelord fireball damage formula.
Booze And FireYesIt raises Fire damage per Brewmaster. That increases the fire/Flamer damage value used by Flamelord fireballs.
Flamelord's WrathYesThis is the conversion upgrade. More tiers mean more Flamer-to-Flamelord conversions, but too many conversions can leave too few normal Flamers to maintain fields.

When It Is Worth It

SituationDecisionPlayer Takeaway
You have Flameworks, several Flamers, Rapid Ignition, Draconic Salvo, The Great Pyre, and Rune of Flame.Convert one Flamer and test clear speed.The fireball has cooldown, size, max-stack, and damage support.
Normal Flamers are still keeping fire fields active.Wrath becomes safer.The build gets fireball burst without losing all of the field uptime that supports Infernal Symphony and max-stack scaling.
You only have basic Flamer and no stack or projectile support.Delay Wrath.A size-1 fireball with low max-stack scaling is usually weaker than fixing cooldown, damage, and projectile count first.
Your run depends on Infernal Symphony amplifying Harpoons, Cannons, Miners, or Demodwarves.Do not convert too many Flamers.You still need normal Flamers to keep fire fields on the mountain.
Your bottleneck is hauling, gold pickup, or missing unlocks.Buy economy/support first.Wrath is a damage payoff, not a fix for runner pressure or missing Runesmiths.

Powder Hall Build Notes

Use CaseWhat To Do
Demolition carryBuy it after Demodwarves, cooldown, and package damage are already useful. Powder Hall is a scaling unlock, not a replacement for the basic bomb engine.
Scientist supportBecause Powder Hall needs Scientists, it pairs naturally with Scientists Guide routes and later artillery or alchemy plans.
Artillery bridgePush toward tier 4 when Nuclear Research or rocket/nuke scaling is the next goal.
