==Description==
The '''Militant''', formerly known as '''John''', is an intermediate tower that costs {{Coins|800}} to buy from the store, but can also be obtained by purchasing the [[Starter Bundle]]. It could also be obtained by a now expired [[Codes|code]].

The '''Militant''' begins with low damage but it is supported by a fast firerate. It has long range, allowing it to cover large amounts of the track. Through upgrades its DPS, firerate, range increase greatly, but these upgrades are costly.

The '''Militant''' is considered an early to mid-game tower.

==Strategy==
*The '''Militant's''' high DPS and low cost make it very viable to use early on during the game. It can also be very useful mid-game and in some weaker modes, late-game.
**Early on, you can place multiple Level 1 '''Militants''', due to their high DPS, high range, flying detection and hidden detection.
***Later on during the game, they should be upgraded to Level 3 or 4.
**Later on during the game, the [[Commander]] can be very useful at increasing its DPS, making it quite useful late-game.
*The '''Militant''' can be quite effective against hidden enemies like the [[Hidden Boss]] due to its cheap [[Hidden (Attribute)|Hidden]] detection and decent DPS.
*Because the '''Militant''' gains flying detection at Level 1, it can be used in [[Hardcore Mode|Hardcore]] to kill early-game [[Balloon]]s or, if enough are placed down, deal with [[Flying]] enemies that appear in mid to late-game waves of [[Fallen Mode|Fallen]] and [[Pizza Party]] modes.
**You will need multiple Level 3-4 '''Militants''' to deal with the late-game [[Fallen Mode|Fallen]] and [[Pizza Party]] enemies due to their high health.

==Trivia==
*When '''John''' was first added to the game, its upgrade stats were not displayed on its upgrade description. It was simply referred to as "swager21".
**It was the only tower that did not include the word "sans" in its upgrade description at the time of its release.
*This tower used to be redeemable with the now expired [[Codes|code]]: J0HNRBX.
*The '''Militant''' (when it was originally called '''John''') had an ability called ''Gorilla Sounds'' which increased the damage of most towers within its range by 30%. This lasted 10 seconds and had a 30 second cooldown.
**During [[Hardcore Testing BETA]], this ability was renamed to ''Enraging Shout''.
**This ability could not increase the damage of the following towers:
***Any projectile-based towers: the [[Mortar]], [[Rocketeer]], [[Demoman]], [[Freezer]] (splash damage only; its direct, non-explosive, damage can be increased), [[Paintballer]] and [[Archer|Holiday Archer]].
***The [[Ace Pilot]] bombs, [[Commando]] missiles or [[Pursuit]] missiles, as they all count as projectiles.
***The [[Slasher|Shredder]] when its ''Knife Throw'' ability was activated, as the knives it threw counted as a projectile.
***The [[Pyromancer]]'s burn damage or the [[Swarmer]]'s bee damage.
****The [[Pyromancer]]'s normal damage could still be increased.
***The [[Shotgunner|Enforcer]].
***All units.
*This tower was originally dedicated to YouTuber [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCojsj6T5tNPGPZSx7wn4coQ JOHN ROBLOX].
**Before the addition of this tower, the [[Paintballer]] was considered John's tower.
**The ''Enraging Shout'' ability was based on various noises that he would make in his videos.
*The now removed ''Enraging Shout'' ability would play various sound effects, with some skins having their own specific sound effects.
**The regular ''Enraging Shout'' sound was voiced by YouTuber [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCojsj6T5tNPGPZSx7wn4coQ JOHN ROBLOX]. There were four lines:
***"''Oh you think you're hard, you think you're hard ya dumb old zombies, shred em, shred em, shred em, shred!''"
***"''Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!''" with a scream at the end.
***Sounds resembling that of a gorilla, specifically one going "''oo-oo-oo''" repeatedly.
***"''Yeah, get em, get em, get em, yeah, yeah, get em!''"
**The {{Color|Unobtainable|Pumpkin}} skin for '''Militant''' had two sound effects, both of which are laughs.
**The {{Color|Deluxe|Ace Pilot}} skin for '''Militant''' had one sound effect that was only used during [[Hardcore Testing BETA|Hardcore Testing]], prior to that it did not play anything. The one line was:
***"''kakugo surun yo''"
****In English, it translates to "Ya better be prepared!".
****This is a reference to JOHN ROBLOX's video, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y_NfKixI3Sk zerotwo but in roblox], although the actual sound effect comes from the anime [[w:c:macross:Macross Δ|Macross Delta]].
*The '''Militant''' still uses '''John''' upgrade icons from [[Hardcore Testing BETA]], even though its design has been drastically changed.
*The '''Militant''' was the only tower that used a reloading system, until the [[Cryomancer]] was released.
**The '''Militant's''' reloading system was removed in the [[v1.1.0|Entity System Update]].
*The '''Militant''' has the most category changes for a tower, as it has been moved from Starter to Intermediate and the other way around, as it changed a total of three times.
