Defense nodes

Stronger guns and faster construction: defense nodes turn your planets into tough targets.

The defense category is located in the fleet branch. It consists of two families – build time and attack, each as a general node for all defenses and as a specific node for every single defense unit – plus one node for your shield domes (Small shield dome, Large shield dome).

Who benefits?

Miners and builders who want to protect their resources, and anyone who is often offline. The stronger your defense, the more costly an attack on you becomes – many attackers will look for an easier target instead (Defense).

Tips

  • Focus attack nodes on the defense units you have the most of. A node for a unit you barely build is wasted.
  • The attack bonus and the shield dome boost only switch on after a random waiting time once you save. Build time nodes work immediately.
  • Build time nodes are most useful if you rebuild a lot of defense – after a heavy attack, for example. They apply multiplicatively and are capped at 90 %.
  • Combine them with battle nodes (Battle nodes): repair of destroyed defenses, less loot for attackers and hidden resources.
Reduce defense build time by X.1× in the network

All defense units are built faster. The first choice if you want to rearm quickly after attacks.
