Necrofex are just worse, elevated carronades

Why do they cost so much? You pay almost 3 times the money, And it deals less damage (yes, it actually does), has less range, is less accurate, runs out faster (same ammo, shoots faster for less dps), and as an artillery it's just so much weaker.

And what does it get? Elevation (which is useful, but not if the trade-off is range), tankyness, a unit summon that doesnt nearly cover the extra cost, and a melee attack that's good on paper but doesn't hit anything because awful animations.

It's a decent sidegrade, but not on tier 5 with triple cost and upkeep. Why would you buy them instead of carronades?

Because they look cool? It's a pirate mech made out of zombies and a shipwreck mashed together with a multi-barrel cannon for an arm. who wouldn't want one?

More mobile, can't be taken out by cheap dogs/bats.

^ what they said.

Sounds like they probably need some work on their attack animations at least, and maybe some more ammo would make the price more worth it?

I mean they are cool as ♥♥♥♥

They're a single model, on a elevated platform.

Terrain is far less a issue for them. They're able to actually shoot over your other models without being obstructed, a HUGE plus.

Unlike carronades they're indeed tanky and will be able to fire untill they die without losing damage. Carronades can and will lose a cannon model quite easily. 1 Carronade has around 1k hp. Which can be killed of with a single spell cast of spirit leech. Once the cannon model dies, that's it. It's gone.

Carronades are good, they really are. All cannons are. But a Necrofex just does more then just shoot.

Fire while moving.
Melee target enemy.
Win.

Why are you comparing 2 very different units as is they're interchangeable?
