Strategy
- The Militant's high DPS and low cost make it very viable to use early on during the game. It can also be very useful mid to late-game.
- Early on, you can place multiple Level 1 Militants, due to their high DPS, high range and hidden detection.
- Later on during the game, they should be upgraded to Level 3.
- Later on during the game, the Commander can be very useful at increasing its DPS, making it quite useful late-game.
- Early on, you can place multiple Level 1 Militants, due to their high DPS, high range and hidden detection.
- The Militant can be quite effective against hidden enemies like the Hidden Boss due to its cheap hidden detection and decent DPS.
Trivia
- When the game was in Alpha, John's upgrade stats were not displayed on its upgrade description. It was simply referred to as "swager21".
- It was the only tower that did not include the word "sans" in its upgrade description.
- This tower used to be redeemable with the now expired code: J0HNRBX.
- The Militant (when it was originally called John) had an ability called Gorilla Sounds which increased the damage of most towers within its range by 30%. This lasted 10 seconds and had a 30 second cooldown.
- During Hardcore Testing BETA, this ability was renamed to Enraging Shout.
- This ability could not increase the damage of the following towers:
- Any projectile-based towers: the Mortar, Rocketeer, Demoman, Freezer (splash damage only; its direct, non-explosive, damage can be increased), Paintballer and Holiday Archer.
- The Ace Pilot bombs, Commando missiles or Pursuit missiles, as they all count as projectiles.
- The Shredder when its Knife Throw ability was activated, as the knives it threw counted as a projectile.
- The Pyromancer's burn damage or the Swarmer's bee damage.
- The Pyromancer's normal damage could still be increased.
- The Enforcer.
- All units.
- This tower was originally dedicated to YouTuber JOHN ROBLOX.
- Before the addition of this tower, the Paintballer was considered John's tower.
- The Enraging Shout ability was based on various noises that he would make in his videos.
- The Enraging Shout ability (now removed) would play various sound effects, with some skins having their own specific sound effects.
- The regular Enraging Shout sound was voiced by YouTuber JOHN ROBLOX. There were four lines:
- "Oh you think you're hard, you think you're hard ya dumb old zombies, shred em, shred em, shred em, shred!"
- "Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! with a screm at the end.
- Sounds resembling that of a gorilla, specifically one going "oo-oo-oo" repeatedly.
- "Yeah, get em, get em, get em, yeah, yeah, get em!"
- The Pumpkin skin for Militant had two sound effects, both of which are laughs.
- The Ace Pilot skin for Militant had one sound effect that was only used during Hardcore Testing, prior to that it did not play anything. The one line was:
- "kakugo surun yo"
- In English, it translates to "Ya better be prepared!".
- This is a reference to JOHN ROBLOX's video, zerotwo but in roblox, although the actual sound effect comes from the anime Macross Delta.
- "kakugo surun yo"
- The regular Enraging Shout sound was voiced by YouTuber JOHN ROBLOX. There were four lines:
- The Militant still uses John upgrade icons from Hardcore Testing BETA, even though its design has been changed.
- The Militant was the only tower that used a reloading system.
- This was removed in the Entity System Update.
