Increases range and speed of nearby towers by 10%. | Increases the range and speed of towers in its radius. | The support building takes the form of a statue/temple of the Norse god Freyja, associated with love, beauty, fertility, sex, war, and gold.

| Basic Tower | Archer | Keen eyesight lets them target undead, invisible or not, anywhere on the map. | Fires 1 arrow every 5 seconds. | The single-shot long range unit takes the place of the sniper - they have essentially infinite range, except can be blocked by obstacles that block all other towers.

As the simplest tower, it also has some of the simplest upgrades. We expect that this tower is going to be the sort of "bread-and-butter" tower, the one the player relies on for consistent but not special damage. |
Upgrade 1 | Faster Arms | Throws 25% faster. | ||
| Upgrade 2 | Metal-Tipped Spears | New spears can damage 3 enemies per throw. |

The berserker attacks nearby undead in all directions. | Attack: Continuous spinning of axe | The area of effect fighter takes the form of an axe-wielding berserker, who spins around to attack all the enemies around them. While this may not be the most realistic idea, it's the one we have and one we can improve on in a later iteration. |
Upgrade 1 | Sharpened Steel | If you take care of your weapons, they'll take care of you. Axes deal twice as much damage. | ||
