Defenses

The Jester utilizes three different sizes of presents: Small, Deluxe and Extravagant, each costing two, three, and four (2-4) DUs respectively. Its contents can include a random tower summoned for less DUs (than when summoned by the corresponding hero class), equipment, or mana. Presents can however spawn Ogres occasionally. Presents are opened when destroyed or start of the next Combat Phase.

The Jester's other two defenses attack enemies directly.

Jester MoveTower square Move Tower - Allows a placed hero defense to be moved around the battlefield within the Jester's build radius. Mana is consumed upon activating the ability, not after moving a defense. This allows the player to move as many defenses as they want for no additional costs.
