THE ACCELERATOR GOT BUFFED! | IS IT FINALLY GOOD? - Tower Defense Simulator (UPDATE)

The accelerator, an already powerful tower, just got a significant buff! In this video, I showcase all the stat changes, values, and uses of this tower, then give my personal ranking of how good it is. Enjoy!

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

As if i was gonna use ace pilot anyway. Just use pursuit instead

[@HeimdallGoat]

It's because ace was outshining other towers in his category

[@MangoGalaxyYT]

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.

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.

[@josardoleon6894]

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.

[@phuccuongnguyen213]

Doesnt mean accel is better then engi

@@josardoleon6894 im not saying engi is better but a 4500 gems tower obviously gonna be different then a 2500.

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

[@phoenixking6009]

I agree with you I’m just glad it’s more consistent now

[@admiral4732]

The +2 range buff could possibly make a great difference in the gameplay

[@danielcraig9227]

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.

[@thxio7226]

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.

[@turbin3dev]

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

[@Whimmsyy9]

I havnt played since 2023 accelerator needing a buff is crazy

[@Be0mqyu]

power creep is insane, people were litterally begging for accel nerf in 2023

[@mj_was_taken]

@@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.

[@S-LV-R_13]

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.

[@Hyperlaser_Merc]

Wait for the medic rework which makes Accel very reliable.

[@Joseph-r6y8h]

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

[@ParadoxumNoobTDS]

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 😂

[@nugo344]

i think the best thing they can do rn is decrease it's purchase cost, maybe 2.5k -> 2k gems

[@aimanasyaari8442]

Hi Corso 👋 Can you rerank the early game towers since there are many new towers in the game and towers getting reworked / rebalanced?

[@_Abgehoben]

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

[@KemwelJack]

Didnt think they would try this but its good to know that they working on it 🙏

[@wsjen2140]

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

[@saadamin6511]

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.

[@Scythephighting]

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

[@StudiofNSninja]

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

[@5uspicious_Person]

It still fails to address one thing: LACK OF STUN IMMUNITY. Why are ranger, engineer, & gatling gun the meta? STUN IMMUNITY. It doesn’t even have to be entire stun immunity, PARTIAL WORKS, and with how fallen mode is designed, ANY stun immunity is basically REQUIRED for a tower to be viable to use. Here’s 2 Ideas that are simple to implement, but will give accelerator enough stun immunity. 1. When it’s charging up & cooling down, it can’t be stunned, but it can be stunned when attacking. 2. Accelerator now has a shield that breaks after 2 stuns, so it takes 3 stuns to stun. So the fallen king can definitely stun it, but regular enemies will need to do a lot more to stun accelerator.

[@AnimanDude-hk8kt]

This is where the medic comes in, but her only use is late game.

[@dukecatfishjunior6291]

@@AnimanDude-hk8kt medic doesn't help accelerator a lot because the mere fact of a stun is enough to be a detriment. even if it's 1 frame, accel still needs to charge before shooting, making it that much more vulnerable to stun-spammy gamemodes like polluted wastelands 2 and pizza party

[@Pixolotl_26]

@@AnimanDude-hk8kt Okay, I’m playing solo fallen. I need stun immune towers. Would I: A) Use accelerator & medic, wasting a tower slot. B). Use engineer even though I know full well it has less DPS, but I can then bring another DPS tower. The answer is obvious.

[@playfulwaddles]

You really have a skill issue if you think that ranger is better than accel just because one of the reasons it's good is stun immunity, the game is already easy enough as it is.
