==Strategy==

*As each enemy can only have burn applied once, it may be more beneficial to have only one '''Elementalist''' set to fire and the others set to frost, with others only being set to fire to use its ''Heatwave'' ability.

*While the [[Ice Turret]]s created by the '''Elementalist''' may appear to have infinite health due to their lack of a health bar, this is not the case. It does have health, meaning it can be killed by abilities, though its health is quite large.

*Unlike most other stalling towers, the '''Elementalist''' has hidden detection, making it great against enemies like [[Shadow Boss]]es or other high health enemies.

*The '''Elementalist''' lacks any lead or flying detection, but it does have other ways to damage these enemies.

**{{Bug}} Placing multiple [[Ice Turret]]s too quickly can cause the overlay remain after use.

**{{Bug}} Kills from the '''Elementalist's''' burn do not give cash.

*'''17 December 2024''' - [[v1.46.0|v1.46.3]]

**{{Bugfix}} '''Elementalist''' is now obtainable.

**{{Bugfix}} ''Heatwave'' now deals damage.

*'''20 December 2024''' - [[v1.47.0]]

**{{Bug}} When the Fight Dirty [[Skills|Skill]] is active, the [[Ice Turret]] freeze times will become longer the more enemies it freezes in quick successions, leading to freeze times so long enemies are frozen up to multiple minutes.

**{{Bugfix}} [[Ice Turret]] now disappears properly.
