What this role fixes
EMP tower support synchronizes Energy heroes with EMP structures and stun skills. Dr. Magnetic Storm (Rex) represents C-tier hero names but A-tier utility when towers are core to your plan. Makes build-by-day, defend-by-night loops stable.
Upgrade path
Upgrade path: EMP duration and tower buffs first, then skill cooldown reduction for night phases, then hybrid damage if campaign timers are fine. Requires actual EMP tower investment — useless without structures.
Strengths and limits
Strengths: multi-lane group control, synergy with Machine Gun focus fire, cheap utility slot. Limits: hero alone cannot fix zero tower investment; weak boss DPS.
