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.

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.

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.

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.

[@slendy2504]

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)

[@semicolon2599]

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?

[@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

[@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]

@@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.

[@niceuuuuuu]

Yeah even after this buff accel is still ass and replaceable

[@HJBLucy]

@@niceuuuuuu yeah accel became a sub dps tower

[@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.

[@Cactus-Cactaceae]

Yeah, I've noticed that too playing Hardcore

[@rumanaislam3564]

I am kinda confused, how do you calculate Accelerator's dps?

[@user-Insane_Ails]

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.

[@diamondkid2226]

It's still a burst tower, just has a longer burst now

[@niceuuuuuu]

​@@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

[@diamondkid2226]

@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 😂

[@niceuuuuuu]

@@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

[@niceuuuuuu]

@@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?

[@TrueStol]

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

[@SpectralTD]

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.

[@TrueStol]

@@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.

[@Achel1]

2 Corso videos in 1 day? Christmas came early

[@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

[@GigaBubble0]

What devious game mode does the devs plan to make after buffing every unit in the game?

[@normalcrab]

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

[@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 😂

[@Kris-ce1po]

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

[@rumanaislam3564]

I mean, how do you even calculate the accelerator's dps? It's really confusing.

[@Kris-ce1po]

@ check accel's wiki page for the dps formula

[@_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

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

[@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

[@normal_handle47]

i think they should dump the overchrage feature but retrun its dps into the old dps
