==Strategy==

*Firerate boost is calculated as

*:<big>'''Original Firerate ÷ (1+Firerate Boost)'''</big>

*:''Firerate Boost'' is the boost supplied by the '''Commander''' in decimal form (for example, 10% is 0.1).

***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''' 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.

**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.

*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.

*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==

**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 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].

**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].

*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 [[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]].

**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''.

**{{Bug}} The '''Commander's''' [[Firerate Buff]] will be removed from all towers in its range when sold, even if they are in range of another '''Commander'''.

**{{Bug}} Towers do not receive the [[Firerate Buff]] in the gained range when the '''Commander''' is upgraded.
