Description

The Windmill is an Intermediate tower that costs 3,750 to unlock.

The Windmill has an electrical fan from Level 0–4, which it uses to knock back enemies. There is a meter once it starts attacking of how long it will attack for. The meter will go down by 1 every tick of the firerate, an example being at Level 0, the meter will go down 1 number every 0.35 seconds, which is its firerate. Once the meter runs out, the Windmill will begin to recharge the fan. This will immobilize it and stop it from attacking for a huge amount of time. Its fan knocks back enemies by sending them backwards (just like an actual fan would), and it stops knocking back enemies once it has to recharge. The Windmill instead starts to slow down enemies at Level 5, as it becomes a giant windmill. This windmill has a slow down per tick of 2.5%, the max slowdown being 75%. The knock back and the slow down can affect No Stun enemies, but not Boss enemies.

Trivia

• This tower was actually thought of as a concept around 1-2 years ago, but did not get stats, models, or much of anything until September 24th.
• The creator tried to calculate the DPS different ways, but couldn't find the correct way to do it.
  • Instead, they just chose to calculate DPS to how the Accelerator's DPS is calculated.
