New Malicious towers

[seth4bucks]

I don't see any patch notes on this yet, so stealth update? The janitor and berserk tower seems like they go together pretty decent. I'm not sure what other towers might be out there as I got the jester kind of late and then the reroll had a couple repeats. Also, right after killing the 2nd boss, a popup said that the playing field expanded and to use keys to change the view. Unfortunately, I messed up the screenshot and don't have that.

Ideas are percolating in my brain. Not sure how great they are though. I have to try out an insolent tower with a slime tower and see how that works. Beggar might work with hydra since you'll be light on cash anyway and throw in a berserk to give beggar more dps.

I dunno, these were not the towers I was expecting to see. I thought the infernal tower set might be next.

debt seems viable but how much more money do you need really? berserk seems legit with cow but it does need mega milk (either high lvl milk tower or give milk to all power) to work

the rest seems more downside than their worth

EDIT: also, spinning top power (5 towers at all time, refresh when bought) counteract with berserk -3 towers option which is nice. upgrading berserk doesnt reduce the downside like obsidian.

It sure doesn't help that the Jester tower stops working in Stage 2 as far as the Reroll part of it's ability is concerned.

High level insolent with a slime could be interesting, but you need way too many pieces to make it work. Slime builds are difficult to setup, and the insolent tower is almost impossible to upgrade since you get 1 per turn if you're extremely lucky.
Berserk milk and mosquito seems interesting though !

These new towers seem very week even if you don't take the negatives into account. The scaling from jester is worse then frog scaling, and I am pretty sure frog was the weakest scaling tower in the game before.

After some more or less extensive testing I am inclined to say that the towers are more or less completely dysfunctional. They all cannibalize each other, don't really synergize with anything else either, have harsh downsides that further make it unfathomable to build around the Jester tower or outright make it impossible to properly play the game anymore. These basically all need a major rework.

I have to agree. I managed to pull off a win with rat towers. Well, more accurately in spite of rat towers. They really didn't add anything and complicated everything. Just about any other tower in their place would have made the victory easier. I think the only thing that might have made them more potent would be getting "stairway to heaven" after the first boss.... but just barely.

Yep that is exactly my own experience as well, played a whole lot more rounds yesterday and usually lost and if I don't loose I win DESPITE the malicious towers, I didn't have a single 1 of them contribute to the win in a meaningful way, instead they just make the game more clunky, inconvenient and just all around less fun. Not only are the towers bad atm but the whole design around Jester and the Malicious Towers, as of now, is simply bad.
