Pitch

Pitch is a dark, viscous resource harvested from Tar Seeps. It is used for ranged and specialist units, as well as area-denial abilities.

Gathering

• Harvested by Prospectors
• Each trip yields 3 Pitch
• Tar Seeps contain 250 Pitch before depletion
• Tar Seeps slowly regenerate (1 Pitch/minute)

Uses

Pitch is required for:

• Pelters (ranged units)
• Prowlers (stealth units)
• Plaguebearers (area damage units)
• Pitch-Tipped Darts upgrade for Parapets
• Refining into Paint at the Patternworks

Strategy

Pitch is primarily a military resource. You don’t need it for basic economy, so prioritize it when you plan to build ranged or specialist units. Tar Seeps regenerate slowly, so they are a long-term investment. Control of Tar Seeps gives you access to powerful unit compositions that your opponent may not be able to match.
