Essence of theStatic Location Defender

Drinking from this strange concoction shaped like a tower, you felt the need to stay at a single location and defend it.

• One-time appearance change ticket. Breaking or ripping it will cosmetically and retroactively change your appearance.

• You have become something else- nah, just kidding. You’re still the same. However, should you designate an area something to defend for… You will gain access to the Static Location Defender System.

• The bigger the area to defend, the more options you can have, to the point you will just play a Real-Time Strategy, often shortened as RTS, game.

• RTS is technically a tower defense. You have to defend an important structure, after all.

• Yes. This also means you can create structures to defend the location better. Unfortunately, they are all based on defending the area. They may have some offensive capabilities, but they are better at defending said area.

• Over time, whilst defending an area, you will unlock new things to help better defend it and yourself.

• You can create structures that would let you travel to another area, but you need to develop the area enough to be fully defended before trying to make one.

• You have a ginormous tech tree that is expansive and colloquial to that ginormous skill tree from a certain RPG. Yes, that one.

• You have gained a System of some kind that helps your Defenses. It automatically controls the designated location if you’re far away. It also adapts and evolves to further develop your Defenses.

• Currently, it can take control of one area. The more you defend said area, the more it grows in power and capabilities, allowing it to control more than one area at the same time. The minimum size of the area it can defend is a single-story house.

• So long as the area exists, you can respawn in that area.

• You may enter a research phase called Defender Mode, which will let you go into a pocket dimension. Inside this pocket dimension, you can unlock new stuff faster. However, you are subjugated into the laws of Tower Defense genre whilst you are in the Defender Mode.

• In Defender Mode, you can only use defensive turrets and units. Some utility structures are allowed but they are mostly for boosting the turrets and the units.

• The Defender Mode has several levels with waves numbering to a hundred each time. You may advance the wave immediately if that is you desire but each wave is harder than the last.

• The Defender Mode also grants you the Gacha System after beating the first hundred waves Allowing you to roll for new things to add to your repertoire.

• A new mode will be unlocked after beating the first ten levels, you will unlock the Monolith Mode. This is like the Defender Mode, except you defend a single tower which has access to all the upgrades of every tower you have in Defender Mode. Unfortunately, you still need to upgrade said tower to gain said upgrades.

• This mode is harder because the enemies don’t have a fixed path. You may create pathways to railroad the enemies but some of them will ignore the pathways.

• Optionally, you are subjected to the most dreadful state of all RTS gamers out there… Limited resources. You must take resources from the local area, and you have been granted the most basic of units to get said resources. This option unlocks new avenues should you do so.

• This aspect will immediately be disabled if you take the Exponential Resource Miner because it is literally this option, but simply better.

• Optionally, take the Exponential Resource Miner and the Incremental Roguelike Survivor to complete a trifecta Essence Synergy.

• This Essence can’t be erased, forcibly changed, removed, or stolen. Doing so will cause it to backfire spectacularly, as this Essence is semi-sentient and will actively defend itself from the one that tried to do so.

• Fanwank responsibly.
