__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 initially fires in bursts of three. It can be bought at <span style="color:#D6D600; text-shadow:0 0 2px black, 0 0 2px black, 0 0 2px black, 0 0 2px black, 0 0 2px black">$250</span> in the store. The '''Soldier''' has a green torso, has grey pants and wields an M16A2. |
|||
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. |
|||
It is quite a cheap tower meaning it is effective in the early game. It gains hidden detection at Level 2 so it is an effective counter to hiddens. However, during the later stages it is eclipsed by better towers such as the [[Minigunner]]. However, if it is the only tower at hand, it is quite a good tower to spam. |

*The soldier is very effective early-game due to its cheap cost and decent damage compared to the zombies that come at that time. |

==Strategy== |
||
*The '''Soldier''' is an effective early-game tower at Level 2, having high DPS for a cheap price. |
|||
* The Soldier's fire rate is '''not''' the time in between the bursts, but the time in between each bullet in the burst. |
|||
**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. |

Description
[edit]The Soldier is a starter ground tower that fires in bursts. It can be bought for Error creating thumbnail: File missing 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.

Skins

Strategy
[edit]- 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.
- 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.
- 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]- 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.
- 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 Solar Eclipse Update, the Soldier alongside the Commander used to appear on the triumph screen.
