Lookout Tower and the "marked" priorities
The Lookout Tower is meant to help organize the target priorities of other weapon Towers.

I have seen many YouTubers complaining about the targeting being weird when using the Lookout Tower (especially in the Obelisk-Lookout Tower combo).

Often you will notice that Obelisk will not target the mobs marked by the Lookout Towers although you have set the same priorities for both the Towers.

The reason is quite simple and straightforward: the Towers do not target the mobs marked by the Lookout Towers because you didn't set the priorities of the Towers to "Marked". If you did not set the priorities to marked, the Towers will only target the mob as per set by the priorities (Most Health, Most Shield etc).

To make the weapon Towers target the mobs marked (with a red crosshair) by the Lookout Tower, you need to set the priorities of your weapon Towers to "Marked". Only then the weapon Towers will target the mobs "marked" by the Lookout Tower.

Lookout Tower is great to help you organize your weapon Tower targeting priorities. Try it.

Now, you should be able to make the Obelisk Tower to target those mobs marked by the Lookout Tower in an Obelisk-Lookout Tower combo run.

Pairing a lookout with with an encampment is ideal, have it target progress and the encampments functionally means its mines are always hitting the target closest to the tower, lookouts reset to new targets quite quickly

So many things missing from this guide...You should have many lookouts, each with their own priority because they only target a single enemy at one time. Many lookouts = many enemies marked. While "marked" is OK if you have only a single tower covering an area, you won't be targeting the correct Marked target if you are utilizing > 1 lookout.

I prefer to have many different towers, each with a corresponding set of towers with the same priority. Eg, "most armor" is paired with a Obelisk with "Most armor". Want to shred the leading enemy in a Poison sprayer with a priority of "Progress"? Have a lookout set to "Progress".
