The Flamethrower is an incendiary tower that can be purchased for 1,000 with a placement cost of $750.
Overview[]
The Flamethrower is a special tower that projects a jet of flame, setting multiple enemies ablaze on contact. Unlike most towers, the Flamethrower itself does not deal damage, but relies on burn damage instead. Enemies that are engulfed in flames have their movement speed reduced by 40% for the duration they were set on fire. At level 1, the Flamethrower's burn duration will last 3 seconds, dealing 1 damage every tick.
The Flamethrower will only target enemies that are not burning, excluding enemies with fire resistance. Additionally, the Flamethrower cannot receive firerate boost from both the Commander and DJ and does not have Hidden detection at any level but can still indirectly burn Hidden enemies if they make contact with the Flamethrower's flames.
