Since this test is about the fastest attacking tower, multiple projectiles shouldn’t be counted since they all shoot at the same time. I say the elite defender is the winner

It seems the ultraboost buffs stack additively, not multiplicatively. So 1+.667+.667 = 2.34 (I did computer science too. (i did not)) which is a lot closer to your measured value
If you didn’t know, at a certain point the game stops processing attack speed increases and instead changes faster attacks to more damage. With buffs however usually the extra damage is worse than attack speed so there’s a natural discrepancy when hyperbuffing any tower in the game.
@@tpfoxCastro Extra projectiles added from a tower attacking super fast (like a hyperbuffed sun avatar) don't work with debuffs which is probably a bug, but extra projectiles naturally (like from a triple shot or overdrive) aren't bugged
Anti-Bloon also has two arm arms and you didn't give it double attack speed because of that, I think that counting more projectiles as attack speed doesn't make sense when a bloon's hitbox effects how many of those projectiles are hitting. Also, Alchemist. Berserker brew is literally the reason why there's an important difference between tons of projectiles and tons of attack speed.
You missed the very niche X-X-2 spike factory boost at the start of every round. For a 0-5-2 spike factory, activating its ability at the start of a round makes it produce spikes at 4x (!!!!) the rate which means it produces 2x more spikes compared to a 1-5-0 spike factory.
I don’t think each individual projectile should be counted as an attack if they’re all thrown out at once. That would be counting projectiles per second where as an attack it’s how often a volley of projectiles is thrown out
I count something as an "attack" based on alch buff, so tack zone shooting 32 projectiles is imo a single attack. I consider Elite Defender a winner on this one
Awesome btd6 science video! Just curious why you did not add embrittle/sbrit gluestrike etc? Edit: i guess you only used buffs, not debuffs 😢, still would be curious to see how that would affect the numbers!
i mean if we count all the attacks of all the sentries + the act of throwing them + the actual main engi attack (all of these get affected by attack speed buffs so i belive they should all be counted as attacks and since the engineer's pops also include sentry pops they should all be considered as his attacks) then i think sentry champ takes the w
I genuinely thought there was a limit of how much a tower can attack based on a tick system. Learn more about BTD6 every day, even with thousands of hours
Also what about towers that can stack with more buffs like Shinobi or druid of wrath? Also wouldn't carrier flagship Also be capable of making an argument if all three planes were firing as well as the ships cannons? I think tack shooter should be disqualified. Engineer would be a more interesting candidate though
this isn't counting powers, with the energizing totem or monkey boost. Also I wouldn't count Tack Shooters' multiple projectiles as they all originate from the single attack.
counting each spike as an attack is very unfair imo, it's just counting pierce, in that case middle path tack zone, super maelstrom, and a lot of others would get insane numbers even with a slow attack speed if you count each pierce as an attack
A 20x shinobi grandmaster has an attack speed of 0.0409s, or 24.42 times per second which is less than even a sun avatar (0.03s or 33.33 times per second)
@@pickandshot I was thinking in terms of projectiles per second has he did in the video. Sun avatar has 3 projectiles, so 99.99 per second, while grandmaster has 9, so around 220 projectiles per second.
its confusing phrasing but in the context of the video, attack speed = times damaging projectile is sent per second, and attack = damaging projectile. so when theres multiple projectiles, there's multiple attacks. the question left to the viewer is to decide whether the question is highest attack speed or most attacks

You forgot shrapnel. If you're going to count each spike as 1 damage, you 100% SHOULD have counted shrapnel as an attack.
Then recusive cluster would win tho
TRUE

Well, if you want to get technical, the fastest tower would probably be the North World Trade Center tower when it exploded.

Ray of doom ?
true..
Ray of Doom can literally miss pinks if you are turning it. I think it only attacks like 4 or 8 times per second.
it doesn't actually have a crazy attack speed, just a decently fast one, the laser is a lie
@@justenoughrandomness8989ye it just has a lot pierce i think
Spike storm does not shoot 1000 projectiles per second. Each pile is a single projectile with a pierce amount of either 5 or 10.
Sentry Champion: Exists
doesn't the sun avatar have 3 projectiles?
If including buffs than either the max shinobi grand master,
Max shinobi total transformation subtower
Or the sentry champion should win.

042 spactories should be faster than 240 at the start of the round since smart spike does x4 instead of only x2 of more spikes
5:37 Mackan moment
You forgot Quincy, nothing gets past his bow so he have infinity attack speed
We are talking about how fast it attacks
Not how many projectiles it will shoot along with attack delay!
Excuse my ignorance, but why are you not using a sun temple or call to arms? Do the TSG and Homeland cancel out the effects of them?
counting each spike as an attack is very unfair imo, it's just counting pierce, in that case middle path tack zone, super maelstrom, and a lot of others would get insane numbers even with a slow attack speed if you count each pierce as an attack
what about x42 spactory with the increased spike production at the start of the round? that buffs the ability, doesn't it?
Ray of Doom?
Why didnt you use a Energizing Totem? Did you neglect powers in general, or did you just not covered them in the Video?
Can the 5th tier spacktory release a storm at the same time as an ability use? If so, this would add many more attacks.
of course the tack zone a tacks! its in its name!
Grandmaster ninja with 20x shinobi stacks attacks faster than Elite defender, I'm pretty sure
check if that's true

Bottom path super because instantaneous teleportation is faster than anything else in the game
If we're multiplying by projectiles, why doesn't the savatar get 3x the speed?
How was the druid not mentioned by the fact you count multiple projectiles
No wonder why spike is so strong aganist moab class with middle crosspath
every individual spike doesn't count as more projectiles, only the piles are
Are you going to make an addendum video to errata the information you forgot?
The fastest tower is my father slapping me after I told him I play btd6
And dont forget you can use gwein coop with ezili to get even more speed!
It would either be heli, plane, or sauda with her dash as other monkeys don't move
?why count eavh projectile as an attack
its confusing phrasing but in the context of the video, attack speed = times damaging projectile is sent per second, and attack = damaging projectile. so when theres multiple projectiles, there's multiple attacks. the question left to the viewer is to decide whether the question is highest attack speed or most attacks
now how many towers that have a alt attack like ninja bombs and cow drops arc puddles and engine turrets
Would the sentry champions sentry’s count for this test, I feel like they would attack much faster than everything else
Damn! How did i not think about it that way, it would have been interesting to look at that tower in that way too!
Doesn't middle path sniper 050 also add to the elite defender's speed (boosts all sniper reload speed)?
If you're gonna count projectiles then why not count 025 sniper for the shrapnel
does the sentries from the sentry champion count as separate attacks in this comparison?
the fastest tower is obviously quincy cus he never misses
Churchill's machinegun is a contender no?
Thanks
Surprised top or bottom path planes are not on the list.
truly this guy wasn't being comprehensive with this list
@justenoughrandomness8989 he tried his best, could be better done, true, but was ok
I think you got the math wrong on the spike storm since you forgot call to arms give +100% Peirce 7:41
Wouldn’t the sentry champion be the fastest attacking tower because it throws out so many towers
but what about plasma accelerator or ray of doom ?
what about a shinobi buffed grandmaster?
Okay am I wrong to say flying fortress should be in the top 5?
Still not as fast as me in the bedroom.
doesnt mid path sniper also boost attack Speed?
How about Sky Shredder?

gunship isn't in the running at all???
what about the marine
