Venom (Tower)

The Venom tower is a tower that can be bought in the Global Upgrades screen for 750 Green Papers. It fires venomous projectiles that poison enemies, dealing damage over time.

Appearance
It is a cartoonish-ghost shape that sits upon a 6-sided shape that is similar to an arrowhead, which it rotates upon.

Strategy
Like the Freezing tower, this is an excellent support tower. Its venom, while not very powerful later in the game, can help for the early-mid game phases. Think of the poison damage as extra chips of damage dealt to the enemy over time. A unique stacking mechanic is available to only this tower. If their are more than 1 Venom towers attacking an enemy, the damage will "stack," up to a maximum of 3 on one enemy. The 1st stack does full damage, the 2nd stack does half damage, and the 3rd stack does quarter damage. When poison is applied to a Fast enemy, it slows down the enemy by 5% per stack (damage included), up to a maximum of 15% with 3 stacks. Venom towers do reduced damage to Fast, Bonus, and Fighter enemies, but deal extra damage to Light enemies. Venom towers cannot affect Toxic, Air, or Jet enemies; they don't even bother attacking them. After upgrading the Poison Damage and Range by a few points, upgrade the Attack Speed and RPS to that same level. This is so that the tower can hit as many enemies with poison as possible.
