Blade Tower

"A short ranged fighter that can do lots of damage for his cheap price."

-Blade Towers Description.

The Blade Tower is one of the first two towers you unlock, along with the Bow Tower. He costs 325$ to place, and does high damage with terrible range.

How the Blade Tower Works
Blade Tower has very short range, but does a lot of damage for his pricing (Hes does 3 1/6's times as much DPS as the bow tower for only 1.3 times the cost.)

Strategy
The Blade Tower has a high damage output, but never has that good of range, with a maximum range of 5 with the 3-x upgrade. This means you'll have to place him very close to the path. The left path is great for doing damage to lots of enemies at a time (blade has high pierce,) and the right path does great damage with a high RoF to single enemies. (attacks towers directly instead of with a slash attack.)
