__TOC__
==Description==
The '''Soldier''' is a starter ground tower that fires in bursts. It can be bought for {{Coins|350}} in the store.


The '''Soldier''' fires in bursts, with a short delay between each burst. It is a fairly cheap tower, making it recommended for use in earlier waves. It gains hidden detection at Level 2 and flying detection at Level 4 (Level 0 for [[PVP]]), so it is an effective counter against [[Hidden (Attribute)|Hidden]] and [[Flying]] enemies.
== Description ==
The Soldier is a low-tier tower that fires in bursts of three. It can be unlocked at 100 coins, meaning that this tower can be unlocked without playing a match. It costs $375 to place. It is very commonly used by beginners and is effective in the early-game.


The '''Soldier''' is considered an early to mid-game tower. Later on during the game, its effectiveness dwindles against high health enemies, being outclassed by other towers with higher DPS.

==Strategy==
*The '''Soldier''' is an effective early-game tower at Level 2, having high DPS for a cheap price.
**By mid-game, you should have multiple Level 3–4 '''Soldiers''', as they can effectively kill enemies that appear there, such as the [[Dark Necromancer]] or [[Slow Boss]].
***However, it loses value as the waves progress due to its DPS being too low to deal with high health enemies that appear later on during the game.
***It should not be relied on late-game if you have better towers and can be replaced by towers like the [[Minigunner]] or [[Ranger]].
*The '''Soldier''' is able to change targets between bursts if another enemy enters its range.
**This avoids the need to swap targets from time to time.
*The '''Soldier's''' firerate can be boosted by the [[Commander]].
**However, the '''Soldier's''' cooldown cannot be decreased.
**However, it is not recommended to prioritize this tower over higher DPS alternatives such as the [[Minigunner]] and [[Turret]].

==Trivia==
*When the game was in Alpha, and for a while after BETA release, the '''Soldier's''' upgrade stats were not displayed on its upgrade description. It was simply referred to as "''sans gun''".
*The '''Soldier's''' name and function is very loosely based on the [[w:c:roblox-tower-battles:Soldier|Soldier]] from ''Tower Battles''.
*The '''Soldier''', along with the [[Turret]], are the first towers to have toys made based on them.
**They are also the first to have mini-figures made based on them, as they appear in the [[Roblox Core Pack - Tower Defense Simulator]].
*Prior to the [[v1.0.0|Solar Eclipse Update]], the '''Soldier''' alongside the [[Commander]] used to appear on the triumph screen.

The soldier is very effective early-game due to its cheap cost and decent damage compared to the zombies that come at that time. However, it quickly loses value as the waves progress. It can be easily overwhelmed by hordes. It should not be relied on mid to late game.

* The Soldier and Sniper both cost 100 coins, making them the only towers that cost coins to be purchasable without playing a single match.
* The Soldier's fire rate is '''not''' the time in between the bursts, but the time in between each bullet in the burst.

Description

[edit | edit source]

The Soldier is a starter ground tower that fires in bursts. It can be bought for Coin 350 in the store.

The Soldier fires in bursts, with a short delay between each burst. It is a fairly cheap tower, making it recommended for use in earlier waves. It gains hidden detection at Level 2 and flying detection at Level 4 (Level 0 for PVP), so it is an effective counter against Hidden and Flying enemies.

The Soldier is considered an early to mid-game tower. Later on during the game, its effectiveness dwindles against high health enemies, being outclassed by other towers with higher DPS.

Strategy

[edit | edit source]
  • The Soldier is an effective early-game tower at Level 2, having high DPS for a cheap price.
    • By mid-game, you should have multiple Level 3–4 Soldiers, as they can effectively kill enemies that appear there, such as the Dark Necromancer or Slow Boss.
      • However, it loses value as the waves progress due to its DPS being too low to deal with high health enemies that appear later on during the game.
      • It should not be relied on late-game if you have better towers and can be replaced by towers like the Minigunner or Ranger.
  • The Soldier is able to change targets between bursts if another enemy enters its range.
    • This avoids the need to swap targets from time to time.
  • The Soldier's firerate can be boosted by the Commander.
    • However, the Soldier's cooldown cannot be decreased.
    • However, it is not recommended to prioritize this tower over higher DPS alternatives such as the Minigunner and Turret.

Trivia

[edit | edit source]
  • When the game was in Alpha, and for a while after BETA release, the Soldier's upgrade stats were not displayed on its upgrade description. It was simply referred to as "sans gun".
  • The Soldier's name and function is very loosely based on the Soldier from Tower Battles.
  • The Soldier, along with the Turret, are the first towers to have toys made based on them.
  • Prior to the Solar Eclipse Update, the Soldier alongside the Commander used to appear on the triumph screen.
