TDS really wanted to make sure we never forget 2024. This has been one awesome year. First, a new gamemode, then a lot of reworks with new towers and fallen and molten modes rework, then the iceling on the cake Forst Spirit returns with sledger getting a rework and returning to his fromly glory, this year has definitely been one of the best🎉
From 2021, it was unmatched. Unfortunately, 2023 Christmas Event made it obsolete with the revamp of freeze into chill. However, Frost Spirit has come back with Operation I.C.E. to revive his former event reward. In conclusion, Ice is Nice.
6:30 If you are wondering about the frost blaster nerf: December 16: •Enemies frozen by frost blaster are immune to being frozen by frost blaster for 2.5 seconds.
Something that I think I noticed is that the after shock does not have a pierce cap. I could be wrong and if someone one wants to test it, go for it, but that increases it's damage and more importantly it's stalling capabilities even more
@@Goffyahhcat there’s a difference between a rebalance and a rework A rework is making a tower from scratch Rebalance is increasing one stat and decreasing another in a way that it doesn’t heavily affect the tower (most of the time) nerfs and buffs are also included with it.
I am so Glad because this was the ONE event tower that I actually got when it was free. I also was playing fallen a few days ago, and 2 fallen guardians made it to the end of the path with 30k EACH, but my sledgers kept both of them stalled for OVER 30 SECONDS. We lived and beat the game.
Hot take: it's balanced. Its a short range melee tower that doesn't have stun immunity. It's also not a boss killer because of it's small range. While being VERY VERY op that's only against crowds. It's not like 6 sledge's can solo the entire game including bosses which other towers can do. (i.e. Accel, engineer, gold mini, etc). Also no hidden, and freeze immune enemies make sledger almost useless. It's just EXTREMELY good against crowds and if paired up with other splash towers like max level ranger or mortar, crowds of breakers become nothing instantly. To summarize, sledger is really good at what he does. But he can't do everything.
@@Cat0987-real What's wrong about it? You wanna balance them in terms of intermediate towers or what? ☠️🙏 No one will ever use them then, I think someone doesn't have sledger lol

Do also note that sledger does hit flying or hidden enemies when there's a visible enemy in it's cone. Although, this is heavily unreliable since said flying or hidden enemies have to be in in a horde of enemies for sledger to even hit them. Regardless, we are so back.
fun fact(obvious kinda): sledger can indirectly kill hidden enemies, as long as theres non hidden enemies. and from what ive seen, it does pretty okay.
I KNEW HE WOULD COME BACk WELCOME BACK MY BOY (not to brag but i predicted sledger would get a rework bc his model was outdated in terms of the other event tower plus this was frost invasion were u obtained sledger ofc they gonna do smth with it btw sledger has a special place in my heart for being my first event tower i obtained)
The old model kinda looked better on the last 2 levels, lol. Its model was NOT outdated compared to other towers such as paintballer, medic, mortar, swarmer, etc.
Went from S tier to Low C/D tier to A tier for me, Very solid and actually usable, theres still obvious better picks though I hope they wont nerf or buff it anymore as it is now a tower that you can use on your team without losinf much overall value.
From what I've also seen is sledger can also hit air enemies if there are ground enemies underneath them. I know it's very situational. But I think it makes him a good unit in hardcore stratless n such
Frankly i dont believe sledger is going to be nerfed, it has potentially amazing damage output but it has a lot of caveats. It fufills its niche as a mid-late game destroyer if you invest your cash into it but due to how much it costs your real dps for frost immune enemies and bosses which are common in the late game will struggle quite a bit
Incredible year for TDS! I loved the new reworks, and I could potentially see an easy rework and a hardcore rework (Easy mode barely changed when it was reworked)
@ there’s bottom pursuit, trapper landmines, and electroshocker which are all way better than mortar. Also yes even sledger can be better tho I wouldn’t go that far for sledger
@@Cat0987-real electroshocker and pyro are more consistent options. plus the most threatening types of enemies that could have been good for mortar are fast low hp enemies like circuits, and fallens but mortar at best can hit 2, not deal full damage, shoots slow, and the dps isnt even that good if you dont consider the cluster bombs that rarely even land on the path. electro has a consistent chaining so at best it will almost always hit its max while also being a great flying detection and lead pen tower, is good at early waves, and a good staller, pyro with the damage overtime and how it deals piercing damage is also more consistent and better for fast low hp enemies being able to kill most of them since damage overtime can deal 100+ total damage. mortar isn't even good at boss, mortar cant do early defense, it could barely do anything to flying enemies, its 100+ dps was a lie, and at best the most threatening enemy it is good against are breakers and i don't think wasting a tower slot for only 1 enemy type is a great idea. also military base
i tested sledger in the admin mode, all 6 sledgers maxed can actually manage to not even leak to 1000 breaker 4s, im guessing the shockwave doesnt have a pierce limit which makes it an even more op tower
Useful info: if you pair sledger up with cryomancer they will basically always be dealing double damage! ALSO, if the devs ever add an ice tower that can chill or freeze bosses sledger will be dealing double damage to bosses aswell so keep that in mind
This year was awesome for tds they added a bunch of mind boggling reworks and new things that have never been thought of, i hope next year will be much more awesomer for tds and add more reworks,skins and especially more towers. Merry Christmas Corso and the whole tds community❤️
I'm so happy bro, i got sledge from OG frost invasion, and the last rework was AWFUL in my opinion. i felt it just made the tower unnecessarily expensive. Im so glad the did this!!!!!!!!
although the max lv is super glazed, I still don't like the fact that he freezes every 2 hits before max and after lv 2, it can bring this guy usefulness in the late early-midgame down quite a bit still if you manage to get a maxed early, it will be extremely good
2021 is back! seriously though i think this tower is balanced + It's does amazing stalling when clumped with other sledgers - it doesn't see hidden + can POSSIBLY get the highest dps in the game - high health enemies with either boss or frozen attributes usually slip by it unscathed (like fallen hero or fallen shield) + has high synergy with other towers (like cryomancer, elementalist, gladiator, jester and ace pilot) - has very little utility compared to other towers (due to the short range, the lack of a useful ability and the fact that it's stalling can be mitigated by hiddens bosses and frost immunes) Edit: and the swing speed is pretty bad unless you put more of your money into it and buy more sledgers
Remember: the sledger would be more good if you use the dj and set it to range track making it little better to attack enemies. But for me I would choose the red track because of the damage😎. But still I would use the range track to make it better. Also if you use the commander it might give a small chance for the sledger to make double damage when hit freezed enemies.
MY FAVOURITE TOWER IN MY FAVOURITE GAME JUST GOT BUFFED TO THE POINT THAT IT IS (IN SOME CIRCUMSTANCES) THE BEST ONE IN THE GAME? HELL YEA🥶🥶🥶 (ICE IS NICE META)
6:34 did everyone forget about cryomancer. I think sledger is good for stalling but cryomancer doesn't have a placement limit so you can spam it. I Know sledger has an insane dps but it lacks range, as you said, i feed its gonna get nerfed in the future unless the devs intentionally super buffed it.

Man at this point, they ain't even event towers. They keep adding them back with a game pass every oppurtunity.

Complete rework*
Finally
Sledger has been in my inventory for so long and I never use it

Finally, the ice now meta, finally no more bullying to freeze towers
Wasn't frost blaster very good for stalling? Or did he get nerfed

still if you manage to get a maxed early, it will be extremely good
2021 is back!
seriously though i think this tower is balanced
+ It's does amazing stalling when clumped with other sledgers
- it doesn't see hidden
+ can POSSIBLY get the highest dps in the game
- high health enemies with either boss or frozen attributes usually slip by it unscathed (like fallen hero or fallen shield)
+ has high synergy with other towers (like cryomancer, elementalist, gladiator, jester and ace pilot)
- has very little utility compared to other towers (due to the short range, the lack of a useful ability and the fact that it's stalling can be mitigated by hiddens bosses and frost immunes)
Edit: and the swing speed is pretty bad unless you put more of your money into it and buy more sledgers
As someone who beated frost invasion 2021, i see this as an absolute win
Sledger has returned to its former glory
