An Energy Turret firing its laser beam.

A Mecha Turret is a type of stationary machine players can encounter while exploring the Clockworks.

Notes

An active Mecha Turret will rotate in place, automatically targeting anything within its range and firing a blue laser beam. Before firing, the turret will lock on and vibrate, charging up a beam shot. The beam inflicts piercing damage and has a knock back effect, pushing targets away. After firing its laser, it contracts until it can fire again. A row of lights on top turn on one after another, then the turret pops back up again and resumes rotating. This results in a slow, mostly defensive machine.

Turrets can be inflicted with status. If in a vulnerable location, Turrets can receive damage. With enough damage they will disappear.
