Actual Characteristics

(base stats)

Range	3
Damage	9.98
Attack speed	0.68
Rotation speed	50
Projectile speed	2
Projectile count	5
Shooting angle	65

Projectile count is the number of bullets Multishot will shoot per attack. If this value is a decimal, that decimal is the chance Multishot will shoot an additional bullet. For example, if Projectile count is 5.6, Multishot will shoot 5 projectiles by default and has a 60% chance to fire a sixth. By default, Projectile count is 5 and increases by 0.14 each experience level.

Shooting angle is the size of Multishot's bullet arcs (in degrees). Shooting angle is the arc distance from the first bullet to the last. Other bullets in the shot are spaced evenly. For example, if Multishot has a Projectile count of 6 and a Shooting angle of 65°, the other 4 bullets will be spaced out by 13°. By default, Shooting angle is 65° and increases by 1° each experience level.

Abilities

LV	Ability	Description
4/7	Penetrating bullets	Bullets penetrate first enemy, dealing 70% damage to next one
	Buckshot	Deals up to 20% more damage the closer the target is. Enemies drop 6% bonus coins if they die within 5 seconds, but bonus is halved if enemy is killed by this tower.
	Compact weapons	Arc of attack size ×0.75. Each hit on an enemy makes it receive 1% more damage from this tower, stacks up to 30 times
10	Counter attack	Each enemy within 1 tile of the affected target increases damage by 2% Upgrades with the tower
20	Comedy bullet	Shoots one projectile backwards with 500% damage. If projectile does not hit any enemy, its damage is preserved for the next shot and stacks up to 15 times
	Powerful	PWR ×1.1

Buckshot causes bullets to deal up to 20% more damage the closer the target is. Bullets gives enemies they touch the Bonus coins debuff, but the effect is halved if the Multishot that applied the debuff kills those enemies.

Counter attack: Enemies near Multishot's target cause it to take more damage.

Comedy bullet's preserved damage is additive.

Strategy

Multishot shares some similarities with Splash such as non-seeking projectiles. It is an all-rounder tower that can be used as a primary tower, offensively, or as support for bonus coins. It also does well against faster enemies (besides Jet) as well as Icy and Light, which are often problematic for other towers. However, it struggles against slower enemies and can't target Strong (even though the projectiles are explicitly referred to as bullets, which Strong is weak to).

Multishot has great attack range and good attack speed that can clear clusters of enemies easier in a close range. It also does not need to face its target to attack. To get its full potential, place Multishot near the portal or use Freezing for Counter attack. When using Multishot as a primary damage source, building it on Damage or Attack speed platforms is a good idea. If Multishot is used for bonus coins alone, consider just saving the special effect tiles for towers with higher relevance. Avoid Projectile Speed platforms; while they allow bullets to travel farther, they also make them more inaccurate.

Shooting angle research trades the ability to affect multiple enemies with one arc to dealing more damage to single targets. Projectile Speed research provides a little bit of extra damage, but makes bullets faster, which is a detriment to their existence time, and thus it hinders their ability to deal any damage at all.

For abilities, use Buckshot and Penetrating bullets. While Compact weapons are nice, beating extra coins is not feasible.
