--- title: Legend of Defenders Captains, Turrets and Cannons Listed description: All Legend of Defenders captains, turrets, towers and cannons named so far, what each does, and which slots and elements are still missing. url: https://legendofdefenders.com/units/captains-turrets-cannons/ --- Roster · **18 units** # Legend of Defenders captains, turrets and cannons Besides heroes, a Legend of Defenders castle fields a **captain** who walks the battlefield, **turrets** in front of the walls, and **cannons** on the castle. At launch the developer counted 5 captains and 12 towers. Below is every one named so far, with its source; where a source only shows a name, we say so. Quick answer - The captain slot opens through the quest book. - No Poison cannon yet; it comes first in the next big version. - Solar Turret: stronger enemies, more coins and EXP. - On auto, the cannon aims itself. ## Legend of Defenders captains (6) Captains walk the field in front of the castle and need their own Captain slot. The developer counted 5 at launch; sources name 6, so treat the total as unsettled. A physical-damage captain exists and "looks like an angel". - ### Sun GodFire Top-rarity Fire captain. Walks the battlefield, grabs the enemies around him and explodes.

[AboboKnows](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oSpOuExSDiI) ## Turrets and towers (9) Turrets stand in front of the castle and change the whole team, not only their own damage. Bonuses can stack: the Solar (Photosynthesis) and Mirror Tower bonuses add up, and so does the difficulty. - ### Solar Turret Makes incoming enemies stronger (Attack and HP) in exchange for more coins and EXP. A deliberate risk-for-reward pick. - ### Fire TreeFire Converts the whole team’s damage to Fire damage. - ### Heavy Gun Very high damage per shot with a long attack interval. - ### Thunder Demon Lord Named in the Day 1 Hotfix (its placement was fixed). - ### Poison Demon LordPoison Named in the Day 1 Hotfix (its placement was fixed). - ### Blaze TowerFire Fire turret; the tutorial hands out a Blaze Turret from your first recruit.

The developer said 5 captains at launch, but official posts and launch-day gameplay name 6, so one may be a variant or a later addition. All six are listed here with their source. ### Is there a Poison cannon? Not yet. The developer says they ran out of time and will make the cannon first in the next big version. ### Is there a physical-damage captain? Yes. The developer confirmed one and described it as looking like an angel; Archangel is the captain seen with that look. ### How do I unlock the captain slot? Through the quest book in the bottom-left corner: the task after the fifth-Treasure quest opens it.
