==Description==
The '''Toxic Gunner''' is a ground [[Towers|tower]] that fires toxic bullets in bursts, applying poison on enemies. It was unlocked by triumphing [[Trick or Threat Town]] as part of the [[Halloween 2020 Event]]. It was also obtainable through a gamepass for {{Robux|500}} during the [[Solar Eclipse Event]],. forMost {{Robux|550}}recently, duringit thewas Black Friday 2023 sale,brought andback for {{Robux|699}} during the [[The FinalBackyard ActLegends Event]].
 
The '''Toxic Gunner''' fires in bursts with a short delay between each burst. These shots apply slowdownpoison to enemies, which slows them down by 10% at Level 0, getting higher with levels, reaching 30% at Level 4. Only major bosses like the [[Patient Zero]] and the [[VoidFallen ReaverKing]] are immune to this, however they are not immune to its attacks. This slowdownpoison also deals poison damage over time to the enemy which deals 1 damage every 1 secondssecond for 6 seconds (at Level 0, reaching 10 damage every second for 10 seconds at Level 4). It can also decrease an enemy's defense at Level 3, decreasing it by 3% each poison tick. It can only decrease up to 50% of an enemy's defense. This tower does not have hidden detection, requiring the use of other towers to attack hidden enemies, like the [[Minigunner]].
 
This is considered an all-roundrounder support tower. Because of its cheap cost and decent DPS, it can be used as an early-game tower and even in mid-game. Later on, it can be used to deal additional DPS to enemies. However, the slowing effect and defense droppingmelting allows the '''Toxic Gunner''' to have some use, even during the late-game, as a support tower, paired with high damage towers like [[Ranger]] and [[Accelerator]].
 
The '''Toxic Gunner''' has [[Lead (Attribute)|lead]] detection from Level 0 and [[Flying|flying]] detection from Level 3. It has no placement limit.

Line 213 ⟶ 146:
**The '''Toxic Gunner's''' cooldown cannot be boosted by the [[Commander]].
**However, this is not an issue at Level 4, as the '''Toxic Gunner''' has no burst cooldown at that Level.
*The '''Toxic Gunner's''' defense droppingmelting can be useful against enemies with defense, such as the [[Fallen Rusher]], as it can decrease it quite quickly while slowing the enemy down.
**When combined with other defense droppingmelting towers, like the [[Pyromancer]], it can remove all of the enemy's defense.
***The defense droppingmelting does not stack with the [[Jester]]'s defense droppingmelting.
*It is recommended to have at least 3one '''Toxic GunnersGunner''' with differenttargeting targetset settingsto ''Random'' to slow down as many enemies as possible.
*Combined with the [[Freezer]], [[Jester]], [[Slime Trooper]] and [[Electroshocker]], this tower can cause some enemies to be essentially immobilized.
**''First'' ensures that fast enemies that dash in front of all other enemies are slowed down.
**''Strongest'' ensures that the strongest enemy is instantly slowed down.
**''Closest'' can help with slowing down enemies in the middle of a huge horde.
**''Random'' can split the slowdown, defense dropping and poison damage effects into large groups. This is recommended for the first placed Toxic.
*Combined with the [[Freezer]], [[Jester]] and [[Electroshocker]], this tower can cause some enemies to be essentially immobilized.
**The slowing effect from the '''Toxic Gunner''' gives these towers more time to attack the enemies, increasing the duration of time that enemies are immobilized.
***This works quite well when paired with [[Hacker]]'s slowdown, further slowing affected enemies and aiding Hacker in the conversion of enemies.
*The '''Toxic Gunner''' is best paired with [[Accelerator]] since '''Toxic Gunner''' can slow down enemies, giving the [[Accelerator]] time to charge up.
**Another good pairing is with slow fire-rate like the [[Ranger]] and low range towers like the [[Slasher]], giving them more time to attack.
*The '''Toxic Gunner''' can be used to defeat [[Lead (Attribute)|Lead]] and [[Flying]] enemies, as both its normal damage and poison damage can damage them.
**This can make '''Toxic Gunner''' viable in [[Hardcore Mode]], for late-game support and early game lead defense.
 
 
==Trivia==
Line 232 ⟶ 163:
**The '''Toxic Gunner''' is the only event tower to be released after its event has concluded, also being unobtainable immediately after it had released.
**As a result, if you had beaten the [[Halloween 2020 Event]] before the 8th of May 2021 (when the Frost Invasion event released), you would have had to wait until then to obtain this tower.
*Due to a bug, this tower was able to slow down major bosses, like the [[Fallen King (Legacy)|Fallen King]] and [[Frost Spirit (Frost Invasion)|Frost Spirit]] prior to the 4th of July 2021.
*The '''Toxic Gunner''' used to have the same upgrade icons as the [[Soldier]].
*Due to a bug, this tower was able to slow down major bosses, like the legacy [[Fallen King (Legacy)|Fallen King]] and [[Frost Spirit (Frost Invasion)|Frost Spirit]] prior to the 4th of July 2021.
*The Level 3 upgrade name, ''Sinister Gear'' may be a reference to [[Lord Sinister]], the boss of the [[Halloween 2020 Event]] where '''Toxic Gunner''' was obtained.
*The Level 4 upgrade name, ''Going Nuclear!'' is a reference to the [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YGKVFoJZBak Going Nuclear!] soundtrack that plays in [[Polluted Wasteland II]].
*The '''Toxic Gunner''' has had a defense droppingmelting statistic since it was added; however, it was unused until the 24th of November 2023.
*The '''Toxic Gunner''' is the only tower that cannot detect nor indirectly hit [[Hidden (Attribute)|Hidden]] enemies at all.
**There is one rare situation where the '''Toxic Gunner''' can damage [[Hidden (Attribute)|Hidden]] enemies, where it applies its poison debuff to an enemy which initially is not a [[Hidden (Attribute)|Hidden]] enemy, but turns into one later.
*The '''Toxic Gunner's''' redesign was suggested to BelowNatural by a [[User:Vortex2175|Tower Defense Simulator Wiki contributor]] as a practical joke at [[User:Gabonnie|another wiki contributor]].<ref>https://discord.com/channels/1362084781134708907/1362084782393004115/1451671831340777563</ref><ref>https://x.com/taotoru/status/2002738572898836957</ref>
