You can make the most of this rather a lot, and we might see towers that hit with Magic, Vary, and a few bizarre type of Melee towers.
From what Jagex has proven, although, they’ve solely thought of two varieties of towers, so it’s protected to imagine that one will deal magical injury whereas the opposite has ranged injury. One other teasing piece of data is that constructing these towers will eat two varieties of assets: planks and bars. Although the tower protection minigame isn’t a certainty for RuneScape, it could possibly be large if the neighborhood votes for it sooner or later.
