About

Torchpost icon.png Torchpost are Aggressive Defense Structures with a range of 22x tiles and an Ammo Capacity of 300, which can be filled selecting Any Tinder icon.png Any Tinder (10 Ammo) and right-clicking it on your Torchpost. A Torchpost will stop firing if it runs out of Ammo, but can be deactivated early by Damaging it down to 50%. While clicking on a Torchpost shows its Purity, there is currently no way to raise this.

Aggressive Defense Structures

Aggressive Defense Damage

All Aggressive Defense Structures do a base amount of Black Bile which scales negatively with the more of the SAME Aggressive Defense Structures which are within its range. For instance this means the more Blazing Brazier which overlap in range, the less Black Bile damage each will do per shot. This however, is largely moot, as the real power of Aggressive Defenses is their ability to deal Critical Damage. For each shot there is a 5-10% chance the shot will Critically Hit, which will deal a high % of Black Bile damage and a smaller % of Blood damage based on the Criminal's remaining Humours. Crit Chance for Braziers can be increased by raising your Brazier's Purity. Overall what this means is that because the current goal of Aggressive Defense is Critical Damage spam, having MORE Aggressive Defenses Structures is almost always a better Defense than having just a few.
