Editing Sledger (section)

==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 (Frost Invasion)|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.
