Description

The Range Buff is a buff that increases a tower's range. It is shown on the tower with a blue icon of multiple waves.

Mechanics

Range Buff range reduction is calculated as:

Range × (1 + Range Buff)

where Range Buff is the buff supplied in decimal form (for example, 10% is 0.1).

The range of a tower affected by the Range Buff can be in decimal form, instead of being rounded down or rounded up to the nearest interger. For example, a tower with 5 range with a 50% Range Buff will have a range of 7.5.

The following towers are either partially or fully not affected by the Range Buff:

• All units.
• The Shotgunner, as its bullets do not extend into the increased range.
• The DJ Booth cannot have its range boosted by another DJ Booth.
  • Other range buff sources, like the Ranger, can still apply it.
• Circling range of the Pursuit and Ace Pilot.
  • The radius in which towers gain hidden detection from the Ace Pilot also cannot be increased.
  • These towers' attack range can still be increased.
• The sentry building range of the Engineer.
• The deadzone ranges of towers, like the Engineer or Rocketeer
  • The attack range for these towers can still be increased.
• Secondary orange range of towers like the range buff range for the Ranger or the gravestone range for the Necromancer.
  • The main range of these towers can still be increased.
• The chain range of the Electroshocker.
  • The attack range can still be increased.
• The explosion radius from Splash Damage towers cannot be increased.
