+Turreteer is a minion-wielding archetype much like [[Tamer]] or [[Overlord]]. Turrets are relatively strong and require no additional expenditure of actions to control once they're out, but are also stationary and highly attack-focused. If your turret mostly manages to avoid any wear and tear, however, you can reclaim it and get back its deployment cost. This makes this archetype more interesting to those who'd like the extra assistance in combat without straining their budget.
