hey guys u can become a member now:

add a button into the game where if you press it you can drag your mouse across your towers to sell multiple towers at once. It would be very helpful in the difficult modes.

[puff.]

Accelerator upsides
- Has hidden detection at level 0
- Amazing DPS at all levels
- DPS at level 5 pretty much negates a lot of downsides
Accelerator downsides
- Damage is affected by RNG, each tick will deal 70%-100% of damage, max accel can do 270-375 DPS
- Same targeting as the Pursuit, can only attack and target the same enemy until it dies
- Levels 1 and 2 are near useless lol
- Extremely weak against stuns
-Has short range for an endgame tower (even though it’s 20)
- Will struggle against extremely tanky bosses if it’s a lower level (and it won’t be able to clean up the weaker that pass by enemies)


Engineer upsides
- An incredible 500 DPS
- Can actually be used for early game (not as good tho)
- Sentries can’t be affected by stuns that don’t deal unit damage (Boomer stuns, Void Reaver spheres, Fallen Guardian pokes, etc.)

Engineer downsides
- Sentries aren’t affected by buffs (DJ and Commander)
- A max level engineer costs 54k
- The worst tower against stomp stuns (will be fixed in the next patch)
- Sentries don’t have hidden detection
- Not that good at early game, especially against shadows


Despite all of the downsides that the Accelerator has, it’s MORE WORTH IT than the Engineer because a Level 5 Accelerator’s DPS basically makes up for all of the downsides.

Looking back at this video, people dont seem to notice the fact that engineer and accel are meant to be used in unison to make them both better and making a win way easier then just one of the other, since their cons contrasts with the other's pros, and after all of that, i still think that engineer should be a 2.5k gem tower.

[RamdmUserHere]

honestly if they just added sentries having hidden detection oh a higher level it'd be "ok" against hiddens (depends what level they get it) and if they doubled engineer's fire rate, that would make it a decent amount better just cause then it could be a reasonable early and mid tower, and letting the sentries being effected by commander, that would be op but for almost double the price it needs to be, the sheild will help, although since they're considered units it might be a bit harder (aka take longer if they even consider this)

8:22 john sounds like he is evolving into a demon

They can release the mecha base that can be supplementary for the engineer. They never have towers that get buffs if both are placed and within a certain perimeter. For instance, if engineer and mecha base are both placed, mechs will be tankier or some random thing maybe spawn goku idk

[pigeonman]

the fact that engineer has more dps but is worse overall is funny

[pytherxs]

You have to also understand the seconds the engineer spends making the sentries will add up eventully

[Misteramen]

In the end, Golden Minigunner still dominates in terms of spammability and universal/generalist usage

[-kng-]

So Enginner is 80% more expensive and weaker than accel?

[battleshipconsumer]

the reason why the sentries dont get buffed is the same reasion why humvees also dont get buffed becuase it has health its kinda like an attacking humvee that doesnt move even if its on the track that does damage pretty well

[icantafford_azii]

accel is based off of phaser from tb which everyone knows. And phaser is known for locking on and dealing (from what i know) the 2nd highest dps in game. Phaser is ONLY USED FOR THE VOID and really strong bosses. Accel follows the same concept. Which is why Accelerator performs the best in the game in terms of boss slaying. However Engineer is the best tower to cover Accelerators downsides (Golden mini is also something you could consider but overall engineer is better) and it can defeat bosses at a decent rate and aswell the lower dudes very well.

These towers should not be compared at all, rather used together to make the most deadly duo in the game. Pair these two towers together and fallen and all other modes are light work. Which is also why these both should be 2, 500 gems. Even if engineer has higher dps, accel lvl 5 is also extremely op and in many things is accelerator better.

[WhiteZtine]

They can either reduce its price a bit gemwise or balance its upgrades and add some abilities. If they didn't do that, then you only have bragging rights for owning it.

[vulture]

Engi sucks for a desperate "last-stand, " because not only is it outrageously expensive, but it takes time for it to reach it's full damage potential (it has to shoot enemies before it can build a fortress of sentries). Engis aren't great for selling and replacing.

i like how engineer did worse with support than without support lol

!IDEAS FOR DEVS OF TDS! (Please read)

You should add a skin for an accelerator as a Santa or a gingerbread man for the mini(and accel too) And a candy cane skin for the Engineer. You can make a farm skin a gingerbread house. You can also make a skin for ace where it's Santa in a sleigh, and a Chinook shin for the helicopter would be cool. You could also make ice skins that look similar to the ghost skins from 2020. I also have an idea for an event tower:

Yeti. this tower throws rocks, and eventually big boulders
( he can stun enemies just like the warden), and his boulder can go through multiple enemies just like the archer. ( Yeti is relatively bigger than the other towers and has a cool idle animation)

Another cool tower I was thinking of was: Gladiatrix this tower has a trident and a net. She can make enemies stuck, and poke them with her trident (she can throw it when they are far away).

Thank you :)

Nah I rather use accel I also rather touch grass then grind my life away

[michaelprimer]

The engineer should have lower price than accelerator like 1000 gems or 1500 gems

John: if i lose i will scream as hard as i can

Me with headphones:no no no NO NO NO NO NO

[EllisKervick]

What I think is accel and engi are good tag team. Accel for big dmg but doesn’t focus on enemies in front and engi will do good dmg and focus on the enemies in front.
