Tuber is actually pretty good, it has early hidden detection, where mortar hidden detection is way more expensive. Also it does rocket + splash damage which makes it WAY better for killing singular bosses and it can damage multiple bosses too. It is also placed on ground. Tuber has less range than mortar beacuse: Its cheaper, It does more damage, It can be placed on ground, Earlier hidden detection too.
mortar has more powerful splash damage and also has more splash radius, so nah it doesnt do really more damage in most scenarios. in terms of splash tubers also not even that much more cost effective than mortar on the last two levels (the only levels that matter for these two). also mortars expensive hidden detection lowkey doesnt make any difference in my experience
tuber has direct and splash damage wich means that when he for example deals 4 it deals 4 damage to the primary target and then 4 spalsh (also applying to the primary target) and mortar has only splash same as fragger
you missed the point, he was saying that yes tower is good but is useless because of mortor being way better than it and having similar early game prices
The reason why people use tuber is because placing cliff towers in tower battles is extremely limited considering how the dev imply That’s why tuber exist, it has much worse stats in favour for being far easier to use.
Mortar and tuber have been back and forth for who's better. Tuber does more direct DMG than the other splash towers but less range and splash. Tuber is really only good with supports, and was like meta when mortar got nerfed. Mortar was since buffed, and tubers direct DMG was nerfed, so now it's useless lol
Tuber doesn't really have a use because iirc mortar got way more/better buffs. So originally tuber was a more powerful mortar with lower range, but over time mortar just got a lot better to the point where tuber doesn't have a use.
@@pansebacheckmark thats all you need for mortars, youre not gonna have a huge amount of mortars in any game. youd maybe have like 4-8 of them and every map has just enough space for that amount of mortars
tuber slander smh my head!!!! In pvp tuber doesn't really serve a purpose compared to the other towers, but in laggy scenarios he can actually out-dps mortar because of janky ancient spaghetti code. As for survival, tuber is actually a pretty solid tower but then again, anything works in survival (Also fun fact that ben guy who commented on the wiki reverted my edit, when i asked him about it he said he didnt play the game in 2 years 💀)
@@lolwsp6481 Not really, he's criticising Tuber for having bad damage when it's a crowd control tower and not a boss killer, Tuber isn't meant to be a primary DPS, it's a support for crowds that single target DPS struggles with, on some maps with little cliff space Tuber is more useful than Mortar is, and is overall better earlier on than Mortar is, because of the fact it's cheaper, altho I do still think Mortar is better I think it's invalid to say Tuber is completely useless
@@futureofgeography its not good at both lol, the only map where tuber arguably outshines mortar is on dead end valley since that map has barely any cliffspace. every other map has enough cliffspace for a sufficient amount of mortars, which makes tuber obsolete since its crowd control in comparison is really weak. about earlier levels, mortar is way better on earlier levels since it has bigger splash with sufficient enough damage, the earlier upgrades are also more useful and cheaper too. the only thing tuber outperforms mortar on in early game is on singular bosses since it has direct damage on the first target along with the splash damage, but thats literally it lmao. on big crowds in any stage of the game, mortar is simply better in terms of a splash damage tower. thats why tuber is just straight up useless, theres another tower that does the same exact thing but just better while also costing the same amount of credits. this isnt counting other crowd control towers neither like shotgunner, fragger, and plasma which are all wayyy more useful than tuber and outclass it too
I mean yeah but u have just seen how this tower does in early-mid game, just support him with couple of single target dps and you’re all good. Yet this tower doesn’t really fit late game, so ig mortar is indeed better
Tbh the most decent unit and doesn’t need to be added is barracks. The towers placement cost makes it worse, The tower is OK in terms, but also horrible for a challenge like spawn units only.
the tower carried him to wave 40, how is that pointless its a balanced tower between damage and splash also you would be cooked with speeds and bosses if you used mortar
i've tried and done solo with ONLY mortar, with no supports (on military base). it managed to fend off the entirety of wave 39 and last a decent amount of time on wave 40 even with void pushing through. this is not a matter of preference anymore; its just a fact
Its a decent tower id say its more useful for short quad op matches like dead end valley because theres not much cliff space due to its medium to high damage and splash it does great against hordes its a good tower for crowd control on short maps if used in the right way and the end of the day its mosty what game modes you play and what you do that makes the tower useful or useless so i can see your point on why you think its bad but hes overall not too bad whrn used in the right ways
The most pointless tower, Tuber? Weird, are you sure it's pointless? Tuber is extremely useful in short maps and maps without many cliffs, especially in Versus mode, where you can easily counter the sender early and upgrade it cheaply.

Definition of "Pointless".
There is no purpose and it is a waste of time.
Tuber predates the advent of Plasma Troopers and is intended to be a ground-based version of the Mortar.
Tuber is actually not a bad defense tower. Due to its cheaper price, it can be used more frequently in versus mode or survival mode than Plasma Trooper or Mortar.
Are you sure it has no purpose and it's a waste of time, if not, why is it even a pointless tower?
There's no pointless tower, every tower has its purpose.
@handleislol that's what im arguing, Tuber is not the most pointless tower in tb
Tuber is single + splash tower tbh
It can deal big damage to it primary target and still do splash
it only does like 23 dps to main target, the direct damage doesnt really change much apart from when it hits smaller enemies
