__TOC__
==Description==
The '''Demoman''' is a starter splash damage tower that can be bought in the store for {{Coins|200}}. While targeting a specific enemy, it will also affect those around the target, dealing splash damage. 

At Levels 0-2, the '''Demoman''' takes one second to aim at an enemy before throwing its explosive grenades. This only affects the damage for the first throw, as it means the '''Demoman''' has to wait a second before throwing it. While it is aiming, it will focus on one enemy until it throws its explosive grenade, after which it can target a different one. If the targeted enemy dies, the '''Demoman''' will continue targeting it, though its grenade will not land where it died, it will throw it further away, which is generally the area where the enemy would have travelled to if it did not die. The '''Demoman''' will also continue to aim at that enemy even if it leaves its range, allowing it to attack outside of its range. After the first throw, while the '''Demoman''' still aims, this does not affect its firerate. The explosion caused by the '''Demoman''' is separated into two spheres. Enemies in the inner sphere will be dealt 100% of the stated damage, while damage in the outer sphere decreases linearly by distance from the edge of the inner sphere to the edge of the outer sphere. The '''Demoman''' can also damage [[Lead (Attribute)|Lead]] enemies.

The '''Demoman''' is great for large hordes of non-boss enemies, except for those immune to splash damage. It is relatively weak against major bosses, though it can be useful in tackling the enemies that spawn from some major bosses. The '''Demoman''' is considered an early game to mid-game tower, though in late game it can be quite useful for swarm-clearing when multiple are placed down.

==Strategy==
*The '''Demoman''' can outshine the [[Sniper]] and [[Soldier]] as a cheap tower, as its versatility is exceptional.
*The main weakness of the '''Demoman''' is its slow firerate and projectile.
**Faster enemies, such as the [[Bolt]], can easily get out of the range of the '''Demoman'''.
***At later Levels, the '''Demoman''' has faster projectile and much faster firerate, making it easier to deal with them.
***You can also use a [[Commander]] or [[DJ Booth]] to remedy this as they boost firerate and range respectively.
**Additionally, these enemies may get out of range of the explosion as it takes time for the projectile to leave the '''Demoman''' and hit the path.
*At Level 0-2, the '''Demoman''' has an aim time. While it is aiming, it will focus on one enemy until it throws its grenade. Additionally, it will never stop aiming at that specific enemy.
**Because of this, it can actually attack that enemy even if it gets out of its range.
**This also means that it will not stop aiming at it even if it dies, which in some cases may make the grenades land in an area where there are no enemies.
*The '''Demoman''' can be used to kill [[Lead (Attribute)|Lead]] enemies.
*The '''Demoman's''' firerate is lower than the [[Rocketeer]] and [[Mortar]], and the '''Demoman''' does not have a placement limit. Therefore, it may be more beneficial to use the '''Demoman''' over these towers in certain situations. Though to compensate, the '''Demoman''' overall has lower DPS, so having no placement limit is a great feature.

==Trivia==
*The '''Demoman''' was inspired by ''Team Fortress 2's'' RED [https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Demoman Demoman].
**The first and second versions of the Level 3, 4 and 5 Default skin were a direct reference to this as they both wore a black vest with a red shirt underneath.
**The Level 2 and 3 upgrades are direct references to unlockable weapons for the [https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Demoman Demoman].
***The Level 2 upgrade name is based on the [https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Ullapool_Caber Ullapool Caber], which is similarly based on a [[wp:Stielhandgranate|Stielhandgranate]].
***The Level 3 upgrade name is based on the [https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Loch-n-Load Loch-n-Load].
***The Level 4 upgrade name is based on one of [https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Item_sets Demoman's item sets], which the set coincidentally contains both weapons above and the [https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Scotch_Bonnet Scotch Bonnet], which the Level 4 '''Demoman'''<nowiki/>'s helmet takes inspiration of.
**The {{Color|Premium|Fortress}} skin is directly based on the RED [https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Demoman Demoman].
*When the game was in Alpha, and for a while after BETA release, the '''Demoman's''' upgrade stats were not displayed on its upgrade description. It was simply referred to as "''sans explosive gun''".
*The Level 2 '''Demoman''' throws Steil Grenades, a possible reference to the [[w:c:r2da:Steil Grenade|steils]] in ''R2DA.''
**The Level 3+ '''Demoman''' uses a [[w:c:r2da:Chinalake|Chinalake]], a reference to ''R2DA''.
*The Demoman is purchased as part of the [[Tutorial]], if the [[Tutorial]] is started using the objective that appears for every new player.
