Editing Hacker (section)

==Strategy==
*Duplicate towers with low placement limits, such as the [[Juggernaut]], [[Turret]], [[Necromancer]], [[DJ Booth]] or [[Gatling Gun]] for the most value.
**Do note however that the lifespan of cloned towers are very short. This makes the bottom path ideal for this, as it has the longest clone lifespans.
***Additionally, due to the cooldown being 60 seconds, it is possible to have more than 1 clone. This can be further improved by using the [[Skills|Skill]] Accelerator to reduce the cooldown to 52.5 seconds.
**The [[DJ Booth]] can help by reducing tower costs, making them effectively cheaper to clone.
*The '''Hacker''' will convert any enemy it is targeting into a hologram, dealing collision damage to enemies.
**Top path is preferred for this, as its high DPS and stronger EV allows it to create stronger enemies.
**This is most useful in modes where a large number of high health enemies are present, most preferably [[Polluted Wasteland II]].
**As enemies only need to be targeted by the '''Hacker''' to be converted, it is recommended to have towers with high DPS, such as the [[Accelerator]], damage the enemies in order to convert them faster.
**These enemies will bypass defense and [[Tank (Attribute)|Tank]]. However, they cannot damage [[Flying]] or [[Ghost (Attribute)|Ghost]] enemies.
**If an enemy has defense, that defense will boost how much damage they deal.
***Because of this, do be aware when using defense dropping towers with the '''Hacker'''. While they will make converting enemies faster, they will also reduce the damage dealt.
*While majority of enemies will still perform their on death abilities, some of them will be partially or fully negated. For example, the [[Breaker4]] will only summon one [[Breaker3]] on death when converted instead of three.
**Some enemies can have their second phase cancelled by the '''Hacker'''. For example, the [[Abomination]] will be converted over before it changes into the Reanimated.
*The '''Hacker''' can be used to slow down enemies, making it easier to kill them.
**Bottom path is best for this, as it has a far better slowness than top path.
**Only [[Boss]] enemies are immune to this slowdown.
***Additionally, its slowness can stack with other towers, which means, combined with the [[Toxic Gunner]] and [[Harvester]]'s thorns, they can slow down every non-boss enemy by up to 95%.
*The '''Hacker''' can be used to boost cash gained from enemies, allowing for easier cash generation.
**Bottom path is best for this, as it boosts the cash gained far more than top path.
*To utilize the '''Hacker's''' high potential for dealing with crowds, set each '''Hacker’s''' targeting to ''Strongest'' and ''Weakest'', respectively.
*Setting the '''Hacker''' to ''Weakest'' can ensure that the tower will target and kill enemies on low health.
*When using [[Firework Technician]], each Synapses has their own chance to proc fireworks, resulting in the '''Hacker''' being way more likely to generate one.
**This can be helpful for bottom path '''Hacker''' to make up for its lower DPS.
