Soldier
Description
The Soldier is a low-tier tower that initially fires in bursts of three. It can be bought at $250 in the store. The Soldier has a green torso, has grey pants and wields an M16A2.
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.

Strategy
- 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.
- If this is the only tower you have besides the Scout, then this can be mass-used to deal significant damage to bosses.
Trivia
- The Soldier's fire rate is not the time in between the bursts, but the time in between each bullet in the burst.
