I need to know some quick and easy information for you experts. I know that I could figure this out but it would take me some time so I decided to come to the forum and get quick answers.

I have an Ice Tower - Obviously slows the enemy down using a frost arrow
I have a flame tower - We want it to shoot enemies and keep them on fire giving them damage over time.

If you could tell me how to use ice fire the way I want to properly, I would greatly appreciate it.

Btw, we have Ice Arrow, Cannon, and Spray towers so I will need different arts with the same effects. Same goes for fire. Thank you.

For the ice tower, give it the Nerubian Tower ability, for the fire, give it Flame Strike effect. [1401 post, w00t]

1. Where is the Nerubian Tower Ability located?

2. I need the towers to have these abilities as passive abilites.

Thanks for the input, if you could help me more, it would be greatly appreciated. =)

Oh and I need the flames to stay on the people if that is possible. If there is a way to take the Flame Strike effect and put it on a passive ability and just have it to where it shoots a fireball but the flames stay on the ground, that would be awesome.

Burning Oil or Liquid fire abilities have that damage over time thing. They are both passive abilites. Burning oil hits the ground though and i don't know if it can be changed to allow a unit buff.

Whats weird is that one of the towers has burning oil already and it shoots the burning oil projectile but the ground doesn't ignite.

And also, I am stumped on this Nerubian Tower Ability. I have been searching post after post trying to figure it out... I know there is an easier way of chilling the enemy.

burning oil only works with artillery type attacks.

Nerubian tower slows 1 unit
Freezing Breath slows all units in an area effect.

Thanks... I will change it to artillery if Liquid fire doesn't work.

Well... 1 unit is fine but what I need is ICE to effect 1 person for the Arrow tower. For the Cannon, I need a splash ICE. For the Spray Tower, I need a Line spread to effect units in a certain radius.

Mind you, ALL THESE EFFECTS NEED TO BE PASSIVE.

btw, Where can I find the Nerubian Tower?

I found it. But I still need help with the types of attacks I need to do.

just make your own abilities and buffs.

Alright, so you want Single unit effect ice, Area effect ice and line effect ice?

Single unit - Use Nerubian Tower ability, Frost Attack
Area Effect - Use Frost Breath (i think this is what its called) from the Frost Wyrm
Line effect is harder. U need 2 custom abilities, one based off the new Orb of Lightning ability, one based off the neutral hostile spell "Breath of Frost"
Make the orb of lightning spell have a 100% chance to cast the breath of frost ability and add 0 extra damage. Give the tower the orb ability (not the breath ability) and it'll cast it autmoatically on attack.

Okay a new situation with the towers... I gave them all custom Cluster Missile Abilities but with Cluster Missiles you need to cast them manually. Now, I tried doing that Orb of Lightning (new) ability and gave it 100% Chance to cast the cluster missiles I wanted. I took off all the orbs art because I didn't want it to fire lightning or show an orb circling my towers. That is all I did, but it didn't work... still did the normal attack on the tower. Btw, the cluster missiles work because I casted them manually to test. OH and When I had the orb on the tower it showed the cluster missiles on the interface but it was greyed out.

Looks like I am having the same problem as ChewwieTobbacca. :/

Cluster missles is an area effect target spell. Orb of lightning only works with single point target spells (Shockwaves, Direct Damages, Single Unit Buffs)

An easier spell to use for the fire tower that targets a single unit rather than liquid fire is slow poison. All you have to do is change the buff so the poison looks like a flame, and if you want, make it not cause a slow effect.
