Defender (Cerebral Mod)

The Defender is 1 of the 4 classes added by Cerebral Mod. The play style is very similar to playing a tower defense game, in which you set down traps and sentries to create choke points to damage enemies. Given the weakness of sentries remaining in place unlike minions, sentries tend to deal higher DPS than minions. Since sentries are not tiles, players can quickly set up defenses. Although this also means unlike tiles, sentries are much more temporary and don't work as something you can place once and have them work at any time. Given how most bosses are fought in a small area and usually in player made arenas, the weakness of sentries not moving on their own is mostly not an issue. The weapons of this class deals Sentry damage. This is not truly a completely new class, as it effectively splits sentry weapons that normally count as summon weapons to this class.
There are 2 config settings, 1 for vanilla items, and 1 for modded items that will convert sentries to Defender class. By default they are enabled and a few vanilla armors and accessories are changed to give sentry damage instead of summon damage. This includes Spider armor giving additional sentry stats and replacing the minion damage on Old One's Army armor and accessories with sentry damage. This class has plenty of weapons, 4 full armor sets, several accessories, 3 buff potions across the entire game from start to post Moon Lord.

Sentry Speed

This stat makes many sentries attack faster, like turrets having a shorter delay before firing again. This will only affect this mod's sentries regardless of config settings since this is not a feature coded into other sentries.

Sentry Range

This stat makes turrets target enemies from further away. This will only affect this mod's sentries regardless of config settings since this is not a feature coded into other sentries..

Sentry Count

This is actually a vanilla player stat, maxTurrets. It is rare for mods to increase this stat, but many armors and accessories in this mod will increase the limit for how many active sentries the player can have out at once. In addition, this mod will show a HUD of your sentry count and how many you have out at once if your limit is greater than 1.
