The Soldier is a burst-firing ground tower that can be purchased for 500 with a placement cost of $450.
Overview[]
The Soldier wields an assault rifle that fires a burst of three shots with a cooldown of 1.36 seconds between bursts. Each shot deals 1 damage, resulting in an average of 1.71 damage per second at level 1. Due to their cheap upgrade prices and great cost efficiency, Soldiers can be effective during early-game defense and gain Hidden detection at a relatively low cost. At later levels, the Soldier's increased damage and burst count can also aid in mid-game defense as well, allowing it to chip off great amounts of health from Boss2s and Hidden Bosses. Firerate boosts provided by the Commander and DJ will only affect the Soldier's firerate, and its cooldown time will remain unaffected.
