__TOC__
==Description==
The '''Accelerator''' is a hardcore tower that attacks in delayed bursts. It has a charge-up that happens before the burst and a cooldown that happens after the burst. During the burst, it can deal massive amounts of damage in a short period of time, but does no damage in between bursts. It can be purchased from the store for {{Gem|2,500}} and has a level requirement of {{Level|50}}.

The '''Accelerator''' must charge-up its plasma gun before it can attack enemies. During its attack, it will fire in quick, high-damaging bursts, remaining focused on one enemy until it is killed, leaves the '''Accelerator's''' range, or the overcharge ends. The '''Accelerator''' will deal a set amount of damage before cooling down with its left hand, indicating that the plasma gun has overcharged. After this, there will be a cooldown lasting a couple of seconds, after which it charges up again. The amount of damage needed for the '''Accelerator''' to overcharge can be seen above its tower icon in the upgrade box or when you hover your cursor over it. Damage can still go above this threshold, though the '''Accelerator''' will stop attacking immediately once it does so. For example, if the '''Accelerator''' deals 8,999 damage out of 9,000 and has 10 damage, it will deal 9,009 damage total in that burst, assuming the enemy it attacks has at least 10 health. The '''Accelerator''' can also damage [[Lead (Attribute)|Lead]] enemies from Level 0 and detect [[Hidden (Attribute)|Hidden]] enemies from Level 1.

The '''Accelerator''' is considered a mid to late-game tower because of its high damage capabilities, but extremely high cost. 

The '''Accelerator''' has a placement limit of five per player. This is increased to eight in [[PVP]] mode.

==Strategy==
*Multiple Level 2 '''Accelerators''' are a cost-efficient way to get through the mid-game, as their DPS is usually high enough to deal with most mid-game enemies.
**The [[Farm]] or other towers that generate income like the [[Golden Cowboy]] are strongly recommended, as the '''Accelerator's''' upgrades are very expensive, especially its later upgrades. To further decrease the cost of '''Accelerator's''' upgrades, the [[DJ Booth]] is a very great choice due to its discount buff.
*The '''Accelerator''' has a very long overcharge before having to recharge, therefore buffs from the [[Commander]], [[DJ Booth]], [[Medic]] or [[Mercenary Base]] are usually fully effective on it.
**The [[DJ Booth]]'s purple track can still be helpful in boosting its already massive range.
*The '''Accelerator's''' lock-on mechanic can be a disadvantage. For example, if the '''Accelerator''' locks onto a strong enemy like the [[Fallen Giant]], it will stay locked on until the strong enemy is defeated, leaves its range or the '''Accelerator''' charges up again.
**This can result in the '''Accelerator''' leaking other enemies while it is distracted, therefore it is highly recommended to bring other towers to deal with such.
*The '''Accelerator's''' lengthy charge-up and cooldown times hinder it greatly, with enemies getting out of range before the '''Accelerator''' can defeat them in the worst cases. It is important to utilize other towers alongside the '''Accelerator''' to prevent any potential leaks.
**Due to this and other factors, such as its high cost, it is generally infeasible to use the '''Accelerator''' in the early game, with its sluggish charge-up at lower levels resulting in some fast enemies leaking.
*The '''Accelerator''' should be allowed to cover large amounts of the path to maximize its DPS. The [[DJ Booth]] and [[Ranger]] are especially great in this regard for boosting the '''Accelerator's''' range.
*Slowing towers like the [[Electroshocker]] or [[Cryomancer]] can be used to support the '''Accelerator''', slowing the enemy down and giving the '''Accelerator''' enough time to charge-up and attack them.

==Trivia==
*The '''Accelerator''' is loosely based on the [[w:c:clashroyale:Sparky|Sparky]] from ''Clash Royale''.
**The '''Accelerator's''' plasma gun is loosely based on the [[w:c:half-life:Gluon Gun|Gluon Gun]] from ''Half-Life''.
*Prior to the 12th of March 2022, the '''Accelerator''' was the only tower that could receive cash from summoned enemies.
**After the update, the '''Accelerator''' is no longer able to receive cash from these enemies in most gamemodes.
*The '''Accelerator''' used to have hidden detection at Level 0; however, as of the [[v1.8.4|Unwavering Tides Update]] this is no longer the case.
**Currently, the [[Golden Pyromancer]] and [[Turret]] are the only towers with hidden detection at Level 0.
**Prior to the [[Overhaul v1.0|Overhaul Update]], the only towers to have hidden detection at Level 0 were the [[Ranger|Outlaw]] and [[Paintballer]].
*The current '''Accelerator''' Level 5 upgrade name is an acronym for the word "VOID" (<u>'''V'''</u>essel <u>'''O'''</u>f <u>'''I'''</u>nfinite <u>'''D'''</u>estruction).
**This name may be a tribute to the Level 5 upgrade name used before the 5th of May 2023, "''Energy from the Void''".
*The '''Accelerator''' was initially planned to be the reward for the original [[Polluted Wasteland]] map before it was turned into a [[Hardcore Mode|Hardcore]] tower.
*The '''Accelerator''' was originally intended to have drones that also fired plasma beams.
**The drones can be seen on some images released around the release of [[Hardcore Testing BETA]], such as the icon used for Tower Defense Simulator at the time.
*Prior to the [[Overhaul v1.3|Frost Invasion Update]], it was possible to see some of the '''Accelerator's''' statistics from private testing sessions in the lobby. These were:
**Damage: 3
**Firerate: 0.2
**Range: 18
**Placement limit: 5
*Prior to the 5th of May 2023, the '''Accelerator''' had its damage statistic vary per firerate.
**The '''Accelerator''' was originally supposed to increase its damage over time by gaining a [[Damage Buff]].
***This was most likely changed because the '''Accelerator''' would have been very similar to the [[w:c:roblox-tower-battles:Phaser|Phaser]] from ''Tower Battles''.
*The '''Accelerator''' likes to eat hamburgers only on Monday and Fridays, as revealed by the [[Narrator (Narrator)|Narrator]] in his annoyance, which is then confirmed by the [[Commander (Narrator)|Commander]].
**In [[The Final Act Event]] opening cutscene, the '''Accelerator''' is also shown preparing to eat a hamburger too.
