Summary
The Roaster is a Defensive Building in the Builder Base that is unlocked at Builder Hall level 6.
It shoots short plasma bursts at its enemies that deals splash damage. Its damage per hit is very low but the high fire rate makes up for it.
It can burn both air and ground troops.
Defensive Strategy
The Roaster is a great counter to the Night Witch and her bats. Its splash damaging attack makes it able to take out many bats, allowing other defenses to destroy the Night Witches, so placing it near ground targeting defenses can protect them.
The Roaster can be put near the Builder Hall to prevent Raged Barbarians or any other low hitpoint units from destroying it.
Offensive Strategy
Try to put units with a lot of hitpoints in front of support units with less hitpoints to distract it from shooting the support units. The Battle Machine works great.
Try to scatter the troops so it doesn't hit every troop at once.
Upgrade Differences
It undergoes significant visual changes at nearly all of it's levels, but mainly level 3.
At level 1, the Roaster looks like a metal vessel secured by wood planks that are tied up by ropes.
At level 2, the ropes are replaced by a plank rim.
At level 3, the wooden frame is replaced by two fences and the outside turns orange. A septagon is also added at the top.
At level 4, the lower part of the vessel turns red and a ladder leading to the muzzle of the vessel.
At level 5, the fences are replaced with a stone rim and the heptagon at the top turns yellow.
At level 6, the stone rim get another layer and the ladder is replaced by metal one.
Trivia
The Roaster was added on 6/27/2017.
