Not to be confused with Commander? and Commando.
The Commander is a support ground tower that can be purchased for 1,200 with a placement cost of $700.
Overview[]
The Commander improves the overall performance of all towers within its range. At level 1, the Commander provides a range boost of +25%. Starting from level 2, the Commander can also grant firerate boosts as well, which could be further increased when Call to Arms ability is active at level 3. At later levels, the Commander gains defensive abilities such as summoning Strykers and initiating airstrikes. The Commander cannot provide additional boosts to other Commanders within its range, and can only attack when Call to Arms is activated.

Trivia[]
- The level 5 Commander's F-22 Raptor is piloted by the Aviator.
- The Commander's firerate boost will only affect the firerate of spawned units from spawning towers, rather than their spawn duration as it has done in previous versions of Tower Battles.
- According to the Statue Commander's inscription, the Commander's real name is Flynn Davis.
Bugs[]
- When Call to Arms is active using the level 5 Statue Commander, its animation will play and freeze in place indefinitely. No additional firerate boost is applied and both Call to Arms and Airstrike ability timers will also be frozen in place.
- The Lifeguard Commander's range is offset from the center by 1 stud towards where it is facing. This, however, is not shown on its range visualizer.
- Since the Substitute Commander did not exist prior or during the Halloween 2023 event, players will lose the skin upon being teleported back into the lobby after playing the event.
- When the Substitute Commander is upgraded to level 5, all spawned Strykers will despawn.
