Overview

Shockwave Tower is a defensive building introduced in the Erekir-themed content of Mindustry (added in the 7.0 update). It functions as a block that generates powerful area-effect shockwaves to repel or damage enemies, appearing among the miscellaneous Erekir-exclusive structures.

The tower was added in Version 7.0 and underwent an adjustment during the same major release: its build time was changed from 3.9 seconds to 6.1 seconds, increasing the time required to construct it. Beyond its addition and the build-time change, available documentation for this block is limited; play reports indicate it is intended as a specialized defensive option within Erekir maps and scenarios.

  • When planning base defenses that use Shockwave Tower, account for the longer construction time compared with many early-game structures. Placing placement priorities and protecting the build site during deployment helps ensure the tower comes online.
  • Because it is Erekir-exclusive, Shockwave Tower may only appear or be available in those themed maps or modes that include Erekir content.
