Ballistas are a placeable structure used for defending or attacking Kingdoms. They have brand new features like the ability to aim, reload, fire, and are persistent - meaning they will stay where they are placed until destroyed.
Visit the Maids Morten Siege Engineer to purchase your ballista and wrench!
Ballistas are placed by using a Ballista Blueprint, and require you to have the listed materials in your inventory to construct them. Blueprints are one-time-use, and placing a ballista is permanent - they cannot be moved. When a ballista is left idling, it will automatically disable itself for lag purposes. To use the ballista again after it is disabled, you will need a Ballista Wrench. Stand within the ballista and right click with the wrench in-hand. The ballista will be active for use again!
Once your ballista is placed, you will require a few items.
Each shot consumes 1 TNT. If you can't reload your ballista, you are likely out of ammo, so check your inventory!
To reload your ballista, look towards the mechanism and right click with the ROPE in hand. Once the ballista is loaded, the bow will draw back and a bolt will appear.
Look in the direction you want to shoot. The ballista's position will update regularly to where you face.

Ballistas can jam randomly on reloading. If your ballista is jammed, right click it with a stick to free the mechanism.
