Editing Slasher (section)

==Trivia==
*This is the second melee tower to be added to the game, with the first being the [[Gladiator]].
*The former Level 3 upgrade name "''Swords Dance''" is a reference to the [[bulbapedia:Swords Dance (move)|Pokémon move of the same name]].
*The '''Slasher''' was loosely inspired by the [[w:c:roblox-tower-battles:Knifer|Knifer]] from ''Tower Battles''.
*The '''Slasher''' was the first tower to gain [[Stun Immunity]] with upgrades instead of having it from Level 0, the second being the [[Accelerator]].
*The '''Slasher''' (when it was called the '''Shredder''') used to have a ''Knife Throw'' ability before the [[Overhaul v1.0|Overhaul Update]], which would make the '''Slasher''' throw a piercing knife.
**This ability was later given to the [[Assassin]] tower, which coincidentally is also a melee tower.
**With the ability, the '''Slasher''' gained a 200% [[Range Buff]], its swingrate was set to 0.7 and the ability cooldown was 25 seconds.
***It was meant to receive 500% more damage, but this was glitched and never occurred.
**The ''Knife Throw'' became a passive ability that the '''Slasher''' then gained at Level 2, though that was later removed in the [[v1.37.0|Hexscape Update]].
*During one of the public testing sessions before the [[Overhaul v1.0|Overhaul Update]], the '''Slasher''' was renamed from ''Shredder'' to ''Stabber''. In the [[Overhaul v1.0|Overhaul Update]], this was changed, and it was instead renamed from ''Shredder'' to ''Slasher''.
**Prior to its release, the '''Slasher''' could have been called the ''Chainsawer'' instead of the ''Shredder'', as at the time it was still planned to wield a chainsaw at all levels.
***This makes the '''Slasher''' the tower to receive the most name changes.
*The '''Slasher''' went under massive changes before being released. 
**Its original appearance was different. Instead of having black torso and pants it had light grey torso and grey pants.
**It would wield a chainsaw at all levels, instead of only the now removed Level 5 — it would not wield knives at all.
**Its firerate would be much faster, likely similar to the firerate of towers like [[Minigunner]]. It would however, likely lose damage because of this.
**Instead of throwing knives, it would throw piercing saw glaives.
*When an enemy was hit by the '''Slasher's''' knife from its ''Knife Throw'', it would emit blood particles.
**However, this did not occur with its normal attack, unlike multiple other melee towers.
