back to the point, i think that def comp is good to build just for turrets to get wider range.

I think its just a phase the community is going through... "OMG, teslas are useless don't build them! I heard it from another mindless follower who was yelled by another wannabe who calls himself a pro builder."

Some questions that must be asked before you trade the tesla with turrets for damage:

How much knock back does the tesla have on a rant? If it is significant, you must consider those turret arcs that are taken out quite easily during SD rant rushes. Teslas may provide enough kick to slow that down. Even if thats not feasible, 2 teslas tucked behind the corners of a door are far more durable vs kamikaze dretches than two turrets in the same spot, and dretches wear turrets quite a bit before rants try direct attacks.

That is the key, if they are in the open, use turrets, if they are hidden around a corner teslas are good.

Teslas are good for only a few situations:
- When you need something big to block the LOS to some other most crutial building
- When you REALLY need to prevent all maras from jumping above the turret line ( problem of the big ceiling rooms and turrets slow turning rate )
- When for some reason or another, you want the Tesla to fire at multiple targets. Not sure which situation it would be though.

Tesla knockback is ridiculous on Tyrants and on Goons. I'm not sure it is even worth mentioning it in that situation.

And for the turrets around a corner, place them farther away. Bullets are instant fire anyway and the farther away they are from the corner, the easier it'll be for them to track their target.

Teslas have less damage per second, they're more snipable, they cost more, and they block humans more then turrets do, teslas are the human's barricade, I find them pointless, for every four teslas you could have five turrets, more effective imo. The only place I use teslas is in ATCS, in the corner above the ramp, put four or five teslas there and if gives the rants a helluva hard time.

that depends on the person, personally i think the teslas are not so useful
