What Is the Artillery Crit Build in Exark?

The Artillery Crit build uses cannons as your primary damage output, stacking crit rate and attack speed to melt enemies before they break your economy.

Core Stats

Stat	Target	Why
Crit rate	70%+ (can exceed 100%)	Turns every attack into massive damage
Attack speed	As high as possible	Triggers War Cry more often
Armor / HP	Keep balanced	Survive while ramping

How It Works

Build Artillery as your core damage source.
Stack crit rate very high, ideally above 70%.
Pair high attack speed with War Cry buildings for frequent full-map strikes.
Carry armor and HP bonuses to survive.

Enemy Mechanics

Enemy Ability	Counter
Negative debuffs	Prioritize speed and purge effects
Summon copies when killed	Use AoE and sustained fire
Freeze or slow buildings	Disable or out-range them
