Overview

How it plays

Plant a turret, watch it shoot things. Pistolero deploys up to two cactus turrets that fire continuously at nearby enemies with no further input required. The second slot means you can maintain two active firing positions simultaneously, which is quietly one of the better passive damage sources in the game.

Strategy

Place turrets to cover your flanks or protect an objective you're defending. Casting Strikes on a turret position triggers the Cactus combo, releasing lightning from the turret in all directions. Stagger your casts to keep at least one turret active at almost all times.

Strengths

Two simultaneous active turrets for passive damage coverage
Frees you to focus on other threats while turrets handle their lane
Reliable combo trigger for Strikes + Cactus interaction

Weaknesses

Turrets have fixed placement and can't reposition
Limited effectiveness against fast-moving enemies that kite around them
