__TOC__
==Description==
The '''Rocketeer''', formerly known as the '''Rocketer''', is an intermediate ground tower that attacks enemies with a rocket launcher. It is purchasable in the store for {{Coins|2,500}}.

The '''Rocketeer''' is a splash damage tower that deals very high damage to enemies within an explosion radius. It however, has a rather slow firerate. It has no damage drop-off, meaning it will always deal the same amount of damage to an enemy regardless of its distance from the explosion. Additionally, similarly to other splash damage towers, it is also able to damage [[Lead (Attribute)|Lead]] enemies and bypass defense. It has decent range, and can detect [[Hidden (Attribute)|Hidden]] enemies at later levels. These aforementioned attributes allow it to be very effective against hordes of enemies.

At Level 4, it gains a quad missile launcher, which allows it to fire four missiles at once, targeting up to four different enemies at a time in its spread angle. This upgrade comes with the cost of reduced missile accuracy. If there are less than four enemies in the spread angle, the missiles will target an enemy already targeted by other missiles.

The '''Rocketeer''' is mostly considered a mid-to late-game tower due to its relatively high cost, as well as its ability to take down hordes of strong enemies with its high damage. 

The '''Rocketeer''' has a placement limit of eight per player.

==Strategy==
*The '''Rocketeer''' should not be used as an early game tower because of its high cost. If you wish to have splash damage during the early game, towers such as the [[Mortar]] or [[Electroshocker]] are cheaper choices.
*While the '''Rocketeer''' does have better DPS from its main projectile, the [[Mortar]] can often deal higher DPS due to its clusters when facing off against large hordes, which have a far greater reach than '''Rocketeer's''' missiles, even if they are unlikely to all deal full damage.
**In contrast, the '''Rocketeer''' can be far more ideal against single enemies in comparison to the [[Mortar]] due to it having much higher DPS, especially since it does not have damage dropoff.
*Due to its high DPS and hidden detection, the '''Rocketeer''' can reliably take down high health [[Hidden (Attribute)|Hidden]] enemies such as the [[Shadow Boss]].
**An explosion may also indirectly damage a [[Hidden (Attribute)|Hidden]] enemy on Levels 0-1 if there are other detectable enemies nearby.
*The '''Rocketeer''' can be very useful when paired with the [[Firework Technician]], as the fireworks generated by the tower can assist in '''Rocketeer's''' area of effect potential.
**This is especially true at Level 4, where it will begin to fire four missiles at once, with each one having a decent chance to generate fireworks, resulting in higher overall odds for the '''Rocketeer''' to generate fireworks.
*Due to its high splash DPS bypassing defense and with great area coverage from its large range, the '''Rocketeer''' can also be very helpful against high health targets and bosses such as the [[Slow King]], [[Fallen Guardian]] or even the [[Fallen King]], which can gain up to 60% defense.

==Trivia==
*Prior to the [[Release v1.0|MEGA Update]], this was called the ''Rocketer''.
**''Rocketeer'' is the more universally-recognized correct spelling and, as such, was changed.
*Originally, the '''Rocketeer''' gained a Howitzer artillery cannon at the final Level instead of a quad missile launcher.
**The quad missile launcher was the originally planned weapon that the '''Rocketeer''' would use at the final Level, though this never happened until January of 2025.
*The [[v1.51.0]] rework of '''Rocketeer''' could knock back enemies similarly to towers like the [[Hallow Punk]], though this did not make it into the actual game.
*The '''Rocketeer''' was loosely based on the [[w:c:roblox-tower-battles:Tuber|Tuber]] from ''Tower Battles''.
