Pursuit is an air-based tower unlocking at Level 100 that patrols a defined area and attacks enemies entering both its patrol zone and attack range. From Level 3 it adds splash-damage missiles, and at Level 4 it branches into two upgrade paths that trade gun damage for more missiles and Hidden detection.

Is Pursuit Worth It?
High DPS with both single-target gun damage and splash missiles from Level 3+
Detects Flying enemies from Level 0, useful against air-heavy waves
Patrol mechanic lets one tower cover a wider effective area than its fixed range alone
Branches at Level 4, so you need to commit to either more gun damage or more missiles/Hidden detection - it can't have both at once
Pursuit Tier Rating by Mode
Best Loadouts With Pursuit
Pairs well with a dedicated Hidden detector if you take the Top Path, since that branch lacks Hidden detection
Strong alongside ground-based splash towers like Mortar for combined air-and-ground coverage
