Description
The Cost Debuff is a debuff that increases a tower's placement and upgrade costs, but not ability costs. What is affected depends what it is applied by, as in some cases the Cost Debuff only affects the upgrade cost. This debuff is not displayed anywhere on the tower, the only way to tell it has been applied is by seeing the costs get boosted.
Mechanics
When applied, any affected cost is increased using this equation:
- Cost × (1 + Cost Debuff)
- where Cost Debuff is the buff supplied in decimal form (for example, 10% is 0.1).
- Cost × (1 + Cost Debuff)
The placement and upgrade costs are rounded down to the nearest integer.
Certain Cost Debuffs affect both tower placement and upgrade costs, and others only affect upgrade costs. Neither of them have shown to be able to affect ability usage costs. Towers that were placed down or upgraded while being affected the Cost Debuff will give you more cash back when sold, in comparison to those that were not affected by it.
