Ironbacks are tanky, melee brawlers. They can take reduced damage from minions and gain a shield that blocks attacks as they're upgraded. They can also deal extra damage to structures. All Ironbacks take reduced damage from enemy turrets.

As with all brawlers, they cost 5 to purchase and can be upgraded with further krakens (see below).

Lore

Ironbacks are squat bipedal creatures that resemble turtles or tortoises. Though not as tall as a human adult, they are far wider and more heavily-built. When domesticated and used for combat, they act as siege engines. Their stout strength can tear down whole structures with ease; and when outfitted with armor to complement their thick hide, they can endure the most grievous assaults.

Usage

• Ironbacks will spawn in place of one of your team's Melee minions, one on each lane per Ironback hired. Once out of Melee Minions, Ironbacks will begin replacing Caster minions.
