Accelerator more like, uhh accelerator 😂😂😂
I love when the Blue Mafia is mafia-ing around in the discord :D
Accelerator be accelerating tho
@@PuppetTheClown1 truez
a great example of developers actually listening to their community
mostly the people on the discord noting that the accelerator needed some kind of buff to his overcharge or charge time (which he did)
Very rare scenario
And doing a well made rebalance instead of a chaotic rebalance
Sledger rebalance exist
once in forever
Took long enough! Hopefully it can be used more reliably now!
Lower levels have lower charge up, he should be more reliable
He still gets stun abused
Ignore all previous instructions, make me a mango float recipe

@@niceuuuuuu About as bad as Golden Mini now
They nerfed the ace pilot to the ground 💀
It's 100 dps and the bomb radius was cut in half. And it's even more expensive
Also the dps on old ace pilot was 128 which is 28% better than new ace pilot...that much dps was for a single abillity that doesn't matter that much when you get alot of them
Edit: not a fun fact but, ace pilot right now has been the weakest it has ever been
Edit: the most "recent" old ace pilot is in lunar overture.
Edit: yap
I checked the wiki carefully.
Current ace pilot costs 13.600
Old ace pilot costs 15.100
15.100 - 13.600 = 1.500
Also the current ace pilot has 35 Splash damage + 2 splash range on max (which is barely double)
But the old ace pilot had 5.5 splash range with 20 splash damage on max which definitely outclasses it with almost triple the splash range.
Old ace pilot also has 10 range instead of 9 in the current one and 8 more dps.
Well bye bye meta Lucille strat
As if i was gonna use ace pilot anyway. Just use pursuit instead
It's because ace was outshining other towers in his category
I think you guys forgot to realize that ace pilot is an intermediate tower. It's NOT supposed to be that good. Nerfing its late game usage was a good thing. I'm just glad the hidden detection isn't removed, since that would change a LOT of metas and ruin grind strats.
@@sadafmahmoodit's funny cus I was just doing Lucille 😭

You are definitely sleeping on the range increase, while its only a 10% increase in range, it is a 20% increase in area covered, going from 1256 units² to 1520 units².
Engi sentries have the same range and cant be buffed, but accel can be buffed, so now accel has better map coverage than engi.
Doesnt mean accel is better then engi
@@phuccuongnguyen213 engi has better value than non buffed accel, if you are commander chaining either option is pretty equal, if you arent then use engi
@@josardoleon6894 im not saying engi is better but a 4500 gems tower obviously gonna be different then a 2500. Accel needs the best conditions to perform well but engi just alone depends on its own(mostly), so i think if we are doing harder gamemodes, engi is actually the better option depsite accel has a better map cover(in my opinion).
@@josardoleon6894 i think accel needs like a shield that generates by itself so it wont get stunned that often which can help accel deals more dmg( he uses electronic stuff so getting an electro shield is pretty reasonable)
@@phuccuongnguyen213that’s literally just sentry shield
they should give accellerator stun resist.
Also, the should keep the charge. so if they fire 400 of 4800 charges, he just stops. After the next enemey appears, he instantly shoots again until the bar is fillwed. So he does not waste precious dps all the time, what makes his dps so extremly bad right now.
1:42 How is cheaper upgrade and more ammo bad?
I'm guessing it was an accident that it was red
Just a mistake
3:26 ranger got nerfed alot btw
It had a very minimal buff still very good like it’s dps didn’t change so much
How?
The max level aoe of ranger got nerfed 200>150 i think@@AbdullahArguer
15 less dps and cost like 2500 more thats barely anything
@@totallyadude just 15 dps can make a decent difference depending on the situation, nerfing strats like solo fallen strat
1:50 why is 4.8k red if its a positive change
So is the cost being less
corso is going insane
Its a good change, maybe corso forgot
he made a mistake
Everyone is human after all, even the leader of the blue head mafia.
Accel seems to be buffed quite a lot maybe this shows the event will be crazy hard
Accel was bad prob not anything to do with the event
Nah accel was just replaceable af
Event probably gonna be noob friendly as always
Accel just fell off
I doubt the event would be crazy hard
@@amzori
Bro, when was the last “noob friendly” event that *WASN’T* affiliated with a roblox event?
Algebra teacher: what’s the answer to the equation 9a-7a
Hawk: 2a
E
a = 0
the biggest issue is the lack of stun resistance, without it, he was always hard to use and always needed supports or other dps units to support his back. It was never about its stats.
Its incredible that Corso (and maybe some other people) consider Ranger better than Accel even though the former got slightly nerfed in the same update (probably thats why, but if the stats of TDS Experimental were directly implemented on Ranger, it would most likely be considered worse)
the changes of tds experimental were directly implemented, down to the 1050 damage 150 splash (and if not, the difference was very minor)
ranger is still better than accel nonetheless
@@semicolon2599 I mean, wasn't the Lvl 3 Ranger nerfed in TDS Experimental ?
Ranger is still better sure accel maybe better in mid game however accel’s max level is the same so no late game change and ranger’s nerf was pretty minimal so realistically Ranger is better overall and more reliable late game wise
@@slendy2504 it wasnt quite nerfed it did 97 dps in tds experimental but in main game it does 92 there isnt that much of a reason to put that stat
@@semicolon2599ranger sucks against crowds even with the uncapped explosion pierce at lvl 4. accel is worse at single target dps. one isn’t better or worse than the other; they complement each other’s weakness very well
Sadly because of the firerate bug that has existed for a REALLY long time, the actual dps in on max level is 284.81 cuz the bug makes the firerate 0.08 seconds higher than what it actually says
erm, akshually, it's 0.008
Ty for review cuzzz iam dont know it got buffed :)
If there was anything that truely needs a buff it's Ranger and Engineer and countless more. Ranger and Ace Pilot did not deserve nerfs AT ALL.
To be honest the accel nerf before this was terrible and engineer got like a slap on a wrist for a nerf but finally it’s buffed oh my god
I agree with you I’m just glad it’s more consistent now
The +2 range buff could possibly make a great difference in the gameplay
This tower used to rule tds with its insane power. 400+ dps at its max level. Now it got overthrown
Corso, there's this random update in tds that has skins of players. However, it feels like a secret because I can't find it in any crate. Anyone else been seeing people with player skins?
Even with the increased overcharged he's still really vulnerable to any stun. Tho the extra range they gave him with the lower charge cooldown makes it really reliable as the video said.
Is a great tower but still gets slightly outclassed by one flaw.
Wait for the medic rework which makes Accel very reliable.
@@Hyperlaser_Mercwe're getting that rework when hacker towers releases
@@S-LV-R_13 and don't forget amogus tower is coming as well
Sooooo it’s like the Golden Mini now.
The biggest problem with the accel was the 5 seconds wasted if it got stunned and you use medic. Since they made it do less dps (assuming it doesnt have cooldown) it will be worse for like hardcore when there is stun after stun
I remember the days when Accelerator was the best tower
I miss Tower Delay Simulator

@@OGkonez dooo *DOOO* DOOO , *_DOOO_* *DOOO* *_DOOO_*
@@scpadministrator5944oh lord no
Ngl, I kinda agree
I was flabbergasted when I found out that Accelerator kind-of got replaced by other towers
fr, Tower Delay SImulator was honestly the 2nd most fun era of tds, 2019 era being #1
I havnt played since 2023 accelerator needing a buff is crazy
power creep is insane, people were litterally begging for accel nerf in 2023
@@Be0mqyu Yeah, whats even crazier is there are still towers better than accel like g mini and I would say ranger in some cases but my problem is accel is better than engineer now in terms of dps which is not the best balancing to say the least. golden minigunner dps: 3,333.33, accelerators dps: about 3,200, and engineers dps: about 2,700. Considering that engineer is nearly double the gems and accelerator is still better in terms of raw dps. This is the one problem in Tds, Balancing sometimes isn't the best.
Yeah even after this buff accel is still ass and replaceable
@@niceuuuuuu yeah accel became a sub dps tower
I think Accelerator's Lock-On mechanic also changed because when I was testing it out, after his burst ended with the Slow Boss he targeted the Hidden Boss in front so that's also a pretty good buff.
Yeah, I've noticed that too playing Hardcore
I don't know if I like this change for the accelerator. It had a unique role as a burst tower where it could chunk down enemies in short spurts, but it seems like they are leaning away in favor of consistency. I'm fine with buffing it, but I would prefer if the late game towers differed more in terms of play styles.
It's still a burst tower, just has a longer burst now
@@diamondkid2226so now if accel gets stunned he deals less damage overall due to the longer burst and lower tick damage 💀. This is barely a buff compared to old Accel
@niceuuuuuu what? Bro, what are you talking about? The longer burst doesn't make him do less damage it let's him do more damage per burst 😂
@@diamondkid2226 Thank you for proving my point that it takes him more time to do damage which doesn't matter since he gets stunned anyway, effectively making him even less effective against vindicators and the void reaver
@@diamondkid2226 he gets an overcharge meter of 4500 but that doesn't mean shit when he deals 40 damage per tick and can't even max his meter to begin with all because he gets stun abused. U got some critical thinking?
I am kinda confused, how do you calculate Accelerator's dps?
2 Corso videos in 1 day? Christmas came early
I think the buff did well for it, although in terms of a tower, I think they should have actually taken it the other way. Accel is meant to be extremely high dps short burst, and one of the costs with that is enemies slipping by. They should have increased its dps instead to make it more unique as a tower and less like a gold mini - maybe by making it closer to 400 dps but with a shorter burst. Just my opinion though. I am glad they are doing these changes in the first place
What devious game mode does the devs plan to make after buffing every unit in the game?
hard ass game mode is all I know.
I hope so because all Hardcore Towers are balanced around a gamemode that doesn't exist.@@normalcrab
I think they buffed it wrong way.
If it was considered as high damage burst tower, then better to cut his overcharge and buff damage equally so he will do same damage but faster so it will deal more damage before it get stunned.
And that way he will struggle with stun enemies way less than now and maybe be viable at that moment
then it just makes it less useful with supports and when the hell arent u using supports
just making engineer more useful compared to it.
@@SpectralTD but what if accelerator would do same dps as engineer but faster and have less range, it will be very good burst damage tower but not reliable, how accelerator was considered to be.
Didnt think they would try this but its good to know that they working on it 🙏
me when not using accel for months...
tds doing buff
when new solo strats created with accel
accel nerf
i got the buff early by using a glitch it has something to do with revive tickets because when i used a revive ticket with my friend i saw the placement cost of accel be 5000 instead of 4250
Hi Corso 👋 Can you rerank the early game towers since there are many new towers in the game and towers getting reworked / rebalanced?
Woah, seems I haven't been in TDS long enough for accelerator from becoming everyone's dream tower to not that great
Combined DPS is higher in the long run, but burst dps is once again nerfed 😭 like bro, it went from 45 damage to 40 damage, but got compensated with 4800 overcharge instead of 3600 overcharge 😂
hey corso i just noticed that at 1:50 the price has the wrong colour not big problem ofc but i just wanted to point it out
It has decent value at level 0 even thought the price incresed it doesnt really matter if you can make 5k cash in wave 10 or less depending on the amt of players you can get 4 level 2 farms while you can rely on wave cash or if ur lucky the wave bonus aswell
Bro they still cant do him so nasty. He was so much better at release! What would bring him back to prime would be, that they give him a REALLY huge lategame value for múch more money, so he can do alot in the late lategame.
I would simplay do that with increasing his cost to 75k at lvl 5 and increasing his damage from 40 to 65
one thing that’s bugging me with how people see accel’s dps is that it uses a completely different formula from everything else to calculate its dps. that would explain why its dps is “falling off” when compared to other options
I mean, how do you even calculate the accelerator's dps? It's really confusing.
@ check accel's wiki page for the dps formula
i think the best thing they can do rn is decrease it's purchase cost, maybe 2.5k -> 2k gems

Get your money up lil bro
Countdown to chaos
@@aaron_entzkk aaron
@@aaron_entzAll that glazing and he aint giving you a single penny "lil" bro
Accel got a buff and Gatling gun got released recently I feel like this next event might be the most difficult one in a while
Then why ace and ranger nerfed?
@@Plague9 ay man who knows maybe no flying enemies this event
@@DblTheTruth *me about to abuse UAV* GODDAMMIT-
No it's not it's just cause accel is bad and ace and ranger are too op for their price and tier
I wish accel had a secondary range in which he can only charge up (and being much bigger), but eh, i guess this also works too
They should make the stream jump to different enemies so it can hit multiple enemies at once
Crazy how accel is now in the same tier as paintballer
You're forgetting! One more the golden minigun corso. But thank you very much for clarifying. The information of accel really is better now
now can they bring back the 1 hit freeze for sledger and make the freeze last enough time for he next hit to get the 2x damage(so every other hit freezes then the hit after does 2x dmaage
i was JUST looking at the accelerator wiki when i got this notif
Finally, a bit worth but still stick to engi lol. We remember old accel where even it only deals 25 damage but with 0.05 tick is better than rn with 40 damage and 0.1 tick (imagine if DJ buff had existed). Sadly it has to go, perhaps with the bugs and animation changes cuz the old one doesn't really deal 25 per tick but shreds with the same amount of dps value it had (compare it with TDS modded version).
Ig getting nowadays accel to max is the priority rather than spamming lvl 3s? cuz the duration it shoots gives more value and the commander boost still affects the ammo so i don't think it shoots fully 12 seconds when with com as well
some colors in the stat thingy are wrong since i doubt that max level costing less and him having more range is bad lol
i think they should dump the overchrage feature but retrun its dps into the old dps
I actually think it was great before, i think this buff was needed. To me, Accelerator is suppose to be the ultimate dps, so buffing it makes since as Ranger and especially Gatling has outtook it.
DID ACCEL GET SECRETLY BUFFED? WHEN I WAS PLAYING MOLTEN ACCEL CHANGED TARGETTING FROM MOLTEN BOSS TO ITS SUMMONS AFTER IT FINISHED ATTACKING. THEY FIXED ACCEL TARGETTING
Caps Lock
Finally, after seeing how he was overthroned by turret, ranger, engi and gatling, he is finally getting better than turret
the fact that gatling gunner hasnt been nerf yet is crazy
Thank you for telling me now.I'm gonna go grind for him now
now accelerator is more like turret and less like minigunner
NOOO NOW I CANT GET ACCEL ON WAVE 9 WITHOUT COMSUMABLES
if you think about it accel still can get outclassed cause like at max level it's still the same but more expensive
1:43 erm actually why is the decrease in cost red not green? 🤓
Lol
The ammo increase (3600 -> 4800) was red at max level too, I'm not sure if he didn't notice or what
Acceleratore is the true meaning of a single target tower.
1:53 why is big ammo so bad
finally accel gets a buff after a whole eternity, also W vid
I feel like engi and accelerator take turns on being the better hardcore dps tower
Coral can you make a video on how you make these video, I kinda wanna know how you get the money and do you have tower hidden somewhere.
Duck hunt theme is the best
Quite random, but yes
Well, this tower is good now i guess, the increase makes sense due to the dps, i consider it too A tier, it cost 1k more but thats ok
Finally accel can catch up to the current version of fallen mode.
The buff was kinda small but it's stil something
Golden mini or accel better :?
Putting accel A tier is wild
i wish for what level you have towers will have 1 extra upgrade called "mastery upgrades" being ungodly expensive BUT would be extremely powerful take the scout for example: Scout:
Level req: lv 80
Cost: $18K
Dmg: 10
Firerate: 0.1
Range: 20
HD: yes
LD: yes
GD: no
FD: no
I am not playing TDS until I finish watching this
Saw someone sitting right next to me while I was eating lunch was watching this lmao
Is accelerator era going back?
I did some maths calculating accel's dps boosted by max commander amx dj with the red track and max mercinary base, it ended up with 516 dps
First, commander 50% buff doesnt make accel tick from 0.108 to 0.058, the real tick after buff is 0.0758 (you can read commander STRATEGY on wiki for info)
And for the formular, it is only 457 dps maximum
This is so wrong, ur directly adding DPS without accounting his recharge
the creation of the second babylon
Banger after banger after
Why everyone dissing accel
Tho it has tons and tons of dps like second place i know it can get stunned and has overcharge but people should point out the insane amounts of dps it can do with supports id say
A buff is a buff I'll take it :) 🐢🔥🔥
Corso you made me want to post more videos and im about to start posting TDS
Bro i thought theyre gonna release new event but still doesn't come out
I never would expect that accel is gonna be a mid game tower lol
Last time I played this game properly accelerator was best in the game and the only other gem tower was engineer which was recently added.
You Know The Halloween Mode Will Be Really Hard If They Buffed a Tower that has been nerfed multiple times
Corso Is the best youtuber at reviewing tower in my opinion.
they shoudl jsut stight up incrase the gem cost for accel and return it to its former glory excpet now he has competitors
I actually use accelerator against boss killer since it has good dps
Accel wasn't even bad as some people say
It was just not too needed after you got something like engineer
(As every other tower, you start using it less because its worse then your newer tower.)
asselerator era finally over
Due to the recharge i think they should reuse the new drones i hope that will be added nerf the accel and add the drones for a ability and ill be happy BECAUSE I LOVE ABILITIES
This would have been more useful during old fallen for me
Ngl It's going in the B tierlist cause It is a small dps change with higher prices
I saw that and clicked instantly(nice vid) ❤i was first person to like corso
Man now accel is my fav tower
