Caltrops buff

Does anyone know how long for it lasts? Does it increase with upgrades??

The game says nothing apart from the percentages it slows down attackers and reduces their dps.

I think once it is triggered, it will last until the current battle is over. Any units walks on top of it will be slowed. After the battle, it needs to be redeployed to be effective again.

its effective for entire battle

Wow that's pretty flipping useful. Are you guys sure-sure it lasts the whole battle, cos depending on how long it lasts will totally change where it should go.

Its a speed bump, place it in a open area and see that units will slow while on it and speed up once they get over it. I place it in front of my most vulnerable gates.

Since they have to stand on it to hit the gate they can only do reduced damage increasing the time it takes to get in.

Upgrades increase the slow/dmg reduce.

It lasts the whole battle but only has an effect while the unit is on it.

OK. Thanks finger, that makes it much clearer. They will stay near a ballista and gate I guess...
