Editing Slasher (section)

==Description==
The '''Slasher''', formerly known as the '''Shredder''', is a short-range ground [[Towers|tower]] that could have been unlocked by triumphing [[Nightmare Carnival]] as part of the [[Halloween 2019 Event]]. It was most recently obtainable via a gamepass costing {{Robux|499}} until the 19th of November 2025.

The '''Slasher''' attacks by slashing and stabbing enemies with its knife. Unlike the [[Gladiator]], which is a multi-hit tower, the '''Slasher''' is a single target tower. However, the '''Slasher''' can deal critical damage for 2x damage every three swings at Level 0, with the multiplier increasing with upgrades.

At Level 2, it gains the ability to apply bleed to enemies. Each bleed applied will only deal damage to an enemy once before disappearing, with there also being a 1 second delay between each bleed damage. Additionally, it can only deal damage while bleed is not being applied. This bleed can stack up to 450 times, which will cause a bleed collapse, dealing increased damage to the enemy instantly. Once the bleed collapses, there is a five second cooldown before bleed can be applied again. The damage dealt varies based on an enemy's max health and the '''Slasher's''' base bleed damage, EV (exponential value) and how many bleed stacks are removed at once. Because of this, when the enemy receives bleed damage from the enemy over time, it is calculated as:<br/>
<math>\text{(Base Bleed Damage} \times (1^{0.9})) \times (\text{Enemy Max Health}^{\text{EV}})</math> <br/>
While bleed is collapsing on an enemy, it is calculated as:<br/>
<math>\text{(Base Bleed Damage} \times (450^{0.9})) \times (\text{Enemy Max Health}^{\text{EV}})</math><br/>

Damage from bleed is always rounded up, for both damage over time and from bleed collapse. Additionally, damage from bleed damage will not be displayed as the full damage dealt for the '''Slasher''' unless only one '''Slasher''' was applying bleed. Damage displayed will be based on the number of bleed stacks applied by the selected '''Slasher'''. This damage is not affected by [[Damage Buff]]s.

The '''Slasher''' can be considered a mid to late-game tower as its fairly effective during the mid and late game due to its high DPS, and its bleed effect that can affect every enemy, including major bosses.  

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