__TOC__
==Description==
The '''Commander''' is an advanced support [[Towers|tower]] that decreases the firerate of towers within its range, increasing their damage output. It can be purchased in the store for {{Coins|4,000}}.

The '''Commander''' provides a 10% firerate boost to towers in its range, making them attack enemies faster. This buff can be boosted further at Level 2+ through the ''Call to Arms'' ability, which increases it by 10% for ten seconds. Both buffs get higher with levels, with the passive buff getting increased to 20% and the ''Call to Arms'' ability buff getting increased to 20%. It also has a second ability, ''Support Caravan'', which costs {{Money|2,000}} to use. This will summon two [[Gunner APC]]s and one [[Missile APC]] on the map. When any ability used, it will enter fury mode, allowing it to attack any enemy in its range for ten seconds. The attack time from using an ability stacks if multiple are used at once or when an ability is used while it is attacking. When an ability is used while fury mode is active, the timer for it will stop until the ability animation is finished.

The '''Commander''' is the primary [[Narrators|narrator]] in most matches. Text dialogue appears beside the image or the model with an idle animation of the '''Commander''', corresponding to the appearance of certain [[waves]]. This dialogue appears regardless of whether a '''Commander''' tower is present on the map, and the image or model of the '''Commander''' next to the dialogue will display different emotions.

The '''Commander''' has a placement limit of six per player.

==Strategy==
*Firerate boost is calculated as
*:<big>'''Original Firerate ÷ (1+Firerate Boost)'''</big>
*:where ''Original Firerate'' is the base firerate of the tower,
*:''Firerate Boost'' is the boost supplied by the '''Commander''' in decimal form (for example, 10% is 0.1).
**For example, a Level 4 '''Commander''' (20%) will decrease the firerate of a [[Towers|tower]] firing from 1 second to 0.833 seconds.
***While in the game it may look like the firerate is rounded down to the second decimal, this is only visual. The firerate is longer than that and is not rounded up.
**The '''Commander''' can boost the pump time of the [[Enforcer]], meaning it is fully effective on it if units are not included.
**The '''Commander''' cannot decrease the cooldown of burst towers.
**The '''Commander''' also cannot boost the [[Executioner]] due to the axe not returning in time to take advantage.
*When placing a '''Commander''', try to place it near as many towers as possible, as this will allow for a high number of towers to be boosted.
**This is also true in reverse; it is recommended that you place your towers close to a '''Commander''' (if there is one) for the [[Firerate Buff]].
**This also includes cliff-based towers. The [[Ace Pilot]] and [[Pursuit]] can also be boosted, though their towers (runway and helipad, respectively) must be within range of the '''Commander'''.
*Slow firing towers, such as the [[Rocketeer]] or [[Ranger]], will benefit massively from the [[Firerate Buff]] that the '''Commander''' supplies.
*Placing three Level 2+ '''Commanders''' and activating their ''Call to Arms'' ability one at a time every 10 seconds is one of the most effective ways to utilize the '''Commander''', as ''Call to Arms'' will be permanently active if this is done correctly, providing the 20% buff permanently.
**You can also place two Level 2+ '''Commanders''' and constantly sell and replace one to renew its ''Call to Arms'' ability to save a placement for another tower, or four if you want to be safer with keeping the ''Call to Arms'' ability active at all times while not having to worry about selling and replacing '''Commanders''', as having three '''Commanders''' require you to be quite precise to keep the 20% buff at all times, and you may get distracted from using its ability while upgrading other towers.
**There are a few ways to tell when to use another ability, which include waiting until the [[Firerate Buff]] icon and visuals disappears, waiting until the ability timer gets reduced by 10 (which without [[Skills]], is it reaching 20) or waiting until the attack timer reaches 2.
*You can increase the range in which the '''Commander''' can affect towers and the ''Call to Arms'' range by using the [[DJ Booth]].
**The [[DJ Booth]] can also be useful at reducing the usage cost of the ''Support Caravan'' ability.
*It is best to use the '''Commander's''' ''Call to Arms'' ability on a boss with high health (such as a major boss, like the [[Fallen King]]).
**Be aware that some bosses have blocking abilities, meaning that a wrongly timed ''Call to Arms'' ability will be useless.
**Additionally, you cannot activate the ''Call to Arms'' ability if the '''Commander''' is stunned.
***To overcome this, the [[Medic]] can be used to protect the '''Commander''' from stuns, though this is generally not recommended as the shield also provides boosts best used on other towers.
***Alternatively, you can sell and replace the '''Commander'''. Do note that this will remove the passive [[Firerate Buff]] for a short while if there are no other '''Commanders''' placed down.
*Be aware that you cannot stack the ''Call to Arms'' ability.
**If a ''Call to Arms'' ability is still active for towers, then activating another ''Call to Arms'' will not grant any additional buff. However, it resets the duration of the ability.
**However, the ''Call to Arms'' ability can stack with boosts from other towers, like the [[Gladiator]]'s ''Warrior's Call''.
*The '''Commander''' cannot boost the firerate of the [[Ace Pilot]]'s bombs, [[Pursuit]]'s missiles, [[Commando]]'s missiles or any [[units]] like the [[Railgun Tank]] from the [[Military Base]] or the [[Tommy Goon 2]] from the [[Crook Boss]], even if their associated tower is in the range of a '''Commander'''.
*If the ''Call to Arms'' ability is active, and a new tower is placed in the range of the '''Commander''', that tower will not be boosted by the ability until it is activated again.
*While the '''Commander''' has flying, lead and hidden detection, it can only attack enemies with these attributes periodically with its two abilities. Given how costly it is to get its abilities and that they both have lengthy cooldowns, relying solely on the '''Commander''' to fight against enemies with these attributes is unwise.
**Other towers like the [[Ace Pilot]], [[Electroshocker]] and [[Militant]] are more effective and reliable against them, with the '''Commander''' buffing them.

==Trivia==
*When the game was in Alpha, the '''Commander's''' upgrade stats were not displayed on its upgrade description. It was simply referred to as "sans support sans support".
*The '''Commander''' is heavily inspired by the ''Tower Battles'' tower of the [[w:c:roblox-tower-battles:Commander|same name]].
*Before the [[Overhaul v1.0|Overhaul Update]], the spawnrate of the [[Military Base]] could be boosted by a '''Commander''' (so that the spawn time between units is reduced), but it was through an unconventional method. The stated buff was subtracted from the spawnrate (an example is a 25% buff on a Level 5 [[Military Base]]; the spawnrate would decrease from 45 to 44.75).
**As 44.75 seconds rounded up to 45 seconds, there was no noticeable decrease in spawn time.
**However, this did not apply to the spawnrates of [[units]] from the [[Crook Boss]].
***Interestingly, the ''Call to Arms'' reduced the spawnrate of units from the [[Military Base]] further, but even this buff could not produce a noticeable decrease in spawnrate.
*The original ''Call to Arms'' sound was just a short shout from ''Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2''. This is the same sound used for the [[Gladiator]]'s ''Warrior's Call'' ability.
**The second version of the ''Call to Arms'' sounds were voiced by YouTuber [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCojsj6T5tNPGPZSx7wn4coQ JOHN ROBLOX]. There were three lines voiced by him.
***There were multiple other voice lines that were recorded by JOHN ROBLOX, however they were never added to the game. All of those lines, along with variations of current lines that were not added, can be heard [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eIH8aGkA6p8 here].
***This version was replaced by [https://youtube.com/@enthrallist_?si=mjsg6lUOnuGaMRk4 Enthrallist], a developer for the game, on the 16th of May 2024 to match the quality of other voice lines at the time as well as to have a professional voice act the lines.
**The {{Color|Deluxe|Maid}} (and formerly the {{Color|Eclipse|Eclipse}}) skin voice lines are voiced by [https://www.roblox.com/users/74363346/profile nekoriru].
**The {{Color|Eclipse|Eclipse}} skin voice lines are voiced by [https://www.roblox.com/users/959606619/profile AerelisVA].
**The {{Color|Other|Umbra}} skin voice lines are voiced [https://www.roblox.com/users/959606619/profile AerelisVA].
**The {{Color|ContentCreator|Eggrypted}} skin voice lines were voiced by [https://www.youtube.com/@eggrypted Eggrypted].
*The [[Commander]] has a cat named Claudette, which can be seen in certain [[Story Mode|Story]] mode cutscenes, like [[Welcome Recruit]]. It was added to the game as a tribute to BelowNatural's and Maddy's first cat, which has passed away in early 2026.<ref>[[File:ClaudetteProof.png|280px]]<br/>https://x.com/GlagglezRBLX/status/2088343563230724469</ref>
*Originally, when the '''Commander''' was first added to the game, you could stand on the wooden stool before placing the '''Commander''' down.
*Prior to the [[v1.8.0|Community Maps Update]], the '''Commander''' used to appear alongside the [[Pyromancer]], [[Scout]], [[Sniper]] and [[Minigunner]] on the "Triumph" screen. This was changed to your towers' loadout. 
**Before the [[Overhaul v1.0|Overhaul Update]], it appeared alongside the [[Commando]].
**During [[Hardcore Testing BETA]], it appeared alongside the [[Minigunner]]. 
***The "Triumph" screen used the {{Color|Premium|Galactic}} skin instead of the Default skin.
**Before the [[v1.0.0|Solar Eclipse Update]], it appeared alongside the [[Soldier]].
*Before the [[Release v1.0|MEGA Update]], multiple ''Call to Arms'' abilities could be stacked. This could reduce the firerate of towers that ordinarily had high, like the [[Ranger|Outlaw]], to low firerates. Due to most slow firing towers dealing a lot of damage in a single shot, this could easily kill major bosses, like the [[Gold Titan]].
*There was a [https://twitter.com/belownatural/status/1214209129587367940 poll] made on BelowNatural's Twitter that held contestants for the next {{Color|Golden}} skin. One of the options, which was the most chosen, was a {{Color|Golden}} '''Commander''' skin.
**Instead of a {{Color|Golden}} '''Commander''' skin being made, there was instead a {{Color|Golden}} [[Cowboy]] skin. It is unknown why this change was made.
*The [[Commander (Pizza Party)|Commander]] enemy from [[Pizza Party]] is based on the '''Commander''' tower.
*From [[Null Missile APC]]'s logbook description, the APC was his first vehicle he ever commanded, since he was promoted.
*Commander is a [[w:c:alter-ego:Commander|playable character]] in [[Paradoxum Games]]' second game, ''ALTER EGO''.
