Description

edit

The Golden Snowballer is an exclusive golden perk first shown off in a Jordan Stayt stream. It is a stronger version of the Snowballer, though it is quite clearly a joke tower going off its obscene stats and meme references.

The Golden Snowballer throws yellow snow at enemies, dealing damage to them. These snowballs also freeze enemies. The explosion can only hit a limited number of enemies. These enemies receive damage based on their distance from the center of the explosion. The further away they are, the less damage they receive.

It has a placement limit of 67, which is increased to 21,432 at Level 3.

    DPS assumes that only one enemy is hit and it receives full damage.
