Thermal Towers

In the Legion of Frostborne battleground of Infinity Kingdom, Thermal Towers play a pivotal role in alliance strategy, providing both vision and protection against the harsh blizzard conditions. Understanding their mechanics is crucial for any alliance aiming for dominance.


Overview of Thermal Towers

Thermal Towers serve dual purposes:

  • Vision Proximity: They illuminate surrounding areas, revealing enemy movements and strategic points.
  • Geothermal Zones: These zones negate blizzard damage, ensuring safe passage and stationing for your troops.

Constructing and managing these towers effectively can significantly influence the outcome of the battleground.


Production and Storage

  • Alliance Resources: Producing Thermal Towers requires alliance resources. As members gather resources in the Frozen Realm, a portion is converted into alliance reserves without diminishing individual collections.
  • Production Process: Only alliance leaders (R6) and officers (R5) can initiate tower production. Each tower is produced sequentially, consuming time and resources, with an option for “Quick Production” at an increased resource cost to expedite the process.
  • Storage Capacity: The alliance warehouse can store up to 20 unplaced Thermal Towers. It’s advisable to maintain this maximum to ensure rapid deployment when necessary.

Construction and Deployment

  • Initial Placement: The first tower can be placed anywhere within your alliance’s vision and outside the geothermal zones of other alliances.
  • Subsequent Placements: New towers must be within the vision range of existing ones and cannot overlap with geothermal zones of other alliances.
  • Unbuilt-chaining: You can build a thermal tower off the chain-range of another thermal tower immediately upon placing the initial tower. This means that you do not have to complete each thermal tower before placing a new in the chain. Long chains of unbuilt towers means you can quickly chain to key objectives.
  • Construction Speed: Alliance members can dispatch up to 70 marches to accelerate building. More participants lead to faster completion.
  • Fast Build Option: Utilizing the “Quick Production” or “Wonder Builder” tactics can significantly reduce construction time, but the tactics have a high cooldown timer.

Strategic Management

  • Continuous Production: To maintain momentum, ensure the production queue operates 24/7. Rotate R5 officers to oversee this process, as only they and the R6 leader have the authority to initiate production.
  • Skill Utilization: As your alliance progresses, you’ll unlock skills like Wonder Builder, which instantly completes the next tower’s construction. These skills have limited uses and cooldowns but reset daily, so plan their activation strategically.
  • Dismantling and Abandoning: Unnecessary towers can be dismantled by allied attacks, a process that takes time. Alternatively, unbuilt towers can be abandoned within an hour of placement.
  • Diplomatic Expansion: You can place a tower within the range of an allied alliance’s tower, leveraging diplomatic relations for strategic positioning.
  • Enemy Engagement: Attacking an enemy’s tower grants visibility of that tower, offering tactical advantages.

Advanced Tactics

  • Alt Alliances: Creating alternate alliances (which must be at least level 4 to enter the battleground) allows for the placement of initial Thermal Towers anywhere on the map. By allying these alt alliances through diplomacy, you can chain towers from these positions, facilitating rapid expansion.
  • Blocking Strategies: Use alt alliances to strategically block areas, such as regions around Ymir or critical gates. By placing Thermal Towers and shielded alt castles, you can hinder enemy movement and control key zones.
  • Offensive Operations: Encourage all alliance members to target enemy Thermal Towers aggressively. Deploying smaller players or alt castles into enemy territories to dismantle towers forces opponents to spread their defenses thin, covering multiple fronts simultaneously.
  • Defensive Measures: Assign your strongest players to defend critical areas. When constructing a tower in a contested zone, have multiple troops garrison it, with top players sending their strongest marches last. This setup ensures that any enemy attack must first overcome the formidable defense of your strongest members. Also, there are a number of defensive tactics – shielding thermals and instantly healing thermals.

Conclusion

Mastering the use of Thermal Towers in the Legion of Frostborne battleground is essential for any alliance aiming for supremacy. By understanding their mechanics, maintaining continuous production, and employing advanced strategies, your alliance can secure strategic advantages, control vital areas, and pave the way to victory.
