"Punch zombies"

―Store Description

Description

The Combatant or Brawler was an unused tower from 2021 that was originally meant to be a starter tower and the replacement for the Paintballer. It is effectively an early version of the Brawler. This tower appears to have two names, Combatant and Brawler, both with slightly different statistics and appearance. The Brawler was used in the Main Lobby while the Combatant was used in matches. To differentiate it from the current Brawler, the tower will be referred to as the Combatant, and anything specific to the Brawler will be referred to as such.

The Combatant would punch enemies with its fists, dealing damage to them. Its statistics were mostly copied from the Gladiator, with even the ability being carried over, though that most likely did nothing. The Combatant version specifically also has a sound and particles for crits, suggesting it could or was planned to make crits, though it is unclear if these ever worked. The crit effects are not present on the Brawler.

Upgrades

Ability

Ability carried over from the Gladiator as its statistics were copied for the Combatant. If this did anything is unknown, though it likely had no function.

Strategy
