Description

The Sledger is a melee ground tower that attacks enemies with a sledgehammer which has a freeze effect on later levels. It was originally unlocked by triumphing Outpost 32 as part of the Frost Invasion Event. During the Frost Invasion Event, the Sledger was purchasable via a limited time gamepass for Robux 500.

The Sledger attacks enemies by simply bashing them with its sledgehammer. It hits enemies in a cone with an angle of 60°. This applies a chillness slowness effect, which stacks up to 35% at Level 0. At Level 3+, when the slowness is higher than max slowness, it will freeze the enemy instead. Enemies immune to freeze cannot be frozen or slowed down, while larger enemies get frozen for a shorter amount of time than average sized enemies.

At Level 4+, it deals double normal damage to frozen and chilled enemies through its Ice Breaker passive ability, whether they are frozen/chilled from the Sledger or any other tower that inflicts these effects (like the Freezer). At Level 5, it now has an Aftershock passive ability, which, every single time the Sledger attacks, a large frost shard pattern will trail in the direction the Sledger hit, dealing 40% of the Sledgers damage. This damage always rounds up, no matter the decimal. Though, it has a 0.4 second delay before it deals damage. Aftershock damage is not affected by Ice Breaker. It also applies chillness, which has identical stats to the base attack.

Starting from Level 0, it has the ability to hit three enemies in a single swing (but due to a bug, it is higher than intended by one at all levels), which increases with upgrades. It also gains lead detection on Level 0, but never hidden or flying detections.

The Sledger is considered a viable mid-late game tower due to its average cost and good DPS. In later waves, its DPS is overshadowed by many other towers, but it makes up for this by having the ability to freeze enemies at Level 3+, being able to deal double damage to frozen enemies at Level 4+, and having amazing AOE range at Level 5. The Sledger pairs well with other Sledgers and the Commander.

The Sledger has a placement limit of six per player.

Strategy

• The Sledger does not gain hidden detection at any level, meaning it cannot detect Hidden enemies, such as the Phantom.
  • However, if another detectable enemy is in range, then a Hidden enemy may be indirectly hit by the Sledger.
    • The Hidden enemy can also be frozen, so long as the Sledger is Level 3+.
  • A Level 4+ Ace Pilot near the Sledger will grant permanent hidden detection but it requires the Sledger to be in its secondary orange range.
• The Sledger can slowdown enemies from Level 0 and freeze enemies at Level 3.
  • This makes it useful as a support tower, letting your towers deal more damage to enemies.
    • This is especially effective against hordes of slow enemies, like the Slow Boss.
  • It instantly freezes enemies when hit, making it even better at freezing.
  • The Sledger can be useful against fast high-health enemies like the Fallen Tank or the Amalgamation due to their fast speed getting negated by the Sledger's freeze and slowdown.
    • Be aware that enemies with Freeze Immunity cannot be frozen or slowed down, such as the Void Trickster.
    • While Boss enemies are immune to freeze by default, they are not immune to the chillness effect entirely unless they also have the Freeze Immunity. They can be slowed down, however, the effect will be much weaker than other enemies.
    • You can also use stunning towers like the Electroshocker and Warden to slow them down even further, though this is generally not necessary.
  • Be aware that enemies that are already frozen do not have their freeze times increased when hit by the Sledger.
• At Level 4, the Sledger can deal double damage to frozen and chilled enemies, allowing it to deal high amounts of damage.
  • Due to this, the Sledger works very well with other freezing towers, along with other Sledgers nearby.
  • Combining the Sledger with the Commander will also allow it to hit frozen enemies several times in a short period of time, which can result in high amounts of damage being dealt in a short period of time.
  • While Damage Buffs can increase this damage, their effectiveness is halved on it. For example, a Level 5 Sledger will only deal 330 damage to frozen and chilled enemies instead of 360 when its damage is increased by 20%.
    • However, enemies that have Freeze Immunity cannot be frozen or chilled, meaning they are not able to take the extra damage from Sledger.
• The Sledger creates a trail of ice when it attacks at Level 5 with its Aftershock. In most cases, this just acts as additional damage, though it has its own additional uses.
  • This makes it quite effective against breaker enemies, as its main attack can damage the breaker while its Aftershock attack can damage the other breaks it summons.
  • The Aftershock can hit enemies that come into its attack range later, allowing them to be receive some damage even if they were not hit by the initial attack.
  • The Aftershock damage is increased by the same amount as the main attack. This means that it gets massively higher Damage Buffs than regular, making Damage Buffs a great way to boost the damage of the Sledger.
• The Sledger has a small placement footprint, meaning that it can squeeze in beside other towers quite easily, if space is a problem.
• It is best when the Sledger is placed near by corners because it maximizes its range.
  • Clumping Sledgers close together is a good method for maximizing damage output.
    • It is best to clump Sledgers near towers that deal high DPS, like the Accelerator (which also gives it time to charge up) and Ranger.
  • To slow the most enemies down for the longest period of time, it is best to spread out Sledgers.

Trivia

• The Sledger old Level 2 icon used to be the same as the Archer's Level 3 icon.
• The Sledger used to share most of its upgrade icons with the Gladiator.
• The Sledger is the third melee tower to be added to the game, with the first being Gladiator, the second being Slasher, then Warden and Brawler were added after.
• The sound of the Sledger that hits an enemy was the same sound as the Vindicator when towers caught hit when using ability.
• The Sledger old Level 4 and 5 upgrade names are references to the Frost Invasion Event.
  • The old Level 4 upgrade name, Outpost 32 Research, is a reference to the Outpost 32, a research facility used as a map for the Frost Invasion Event and the Operation I.C.E Event.
  • The old Level 5 upgrade name, Into The Frost Dimension, is a reference to the dimension enemies from the Frost Invasion Event came from.
