Defense Tower DPS

This shows the Actual DPS for Single Targets and Swarm DPS for Multiple Targets. A best effort was made to average the results.

Notes

Actual DPS (single target) was calculated using 1 tower against 1 enemy.
Swarm DPS (multiple targets) uses 10 towers against 100 enemies.

Altho multiple tests were conducted for each enemy, swarm test results have the most variance due to many variables such as creature size, health, behavior, pathing, clustering, tower placement, etc. A best effort was made to average the results.

Very small creatures were not used in swarm tests, since they have a tendency to provide very inconsistent numbers. For example, a rocket that's supposed to inflict 400 damage when hitting an enemy with 100 HP, the 300 extra damage will not register. Since the calculation is ( Enemy HP * Enemy Qty / Tower Qty / Time to Kill ). Also, the Laser Tower requires a few seconds for it to reach max damage, so creatures with low HP tend to die before the tower reaches max damage, and the tower has to start over. The more HP the enemy has the more consistent the results. Ranged enemies were also avoided, due to their nature of spreading around the tower and not clustering, and also not being near enough some towers.

it seems the plasma tower and railgun tower 3 got nerfed. Plasma 3 now deals 88 damage and railgun 3 deals 800 damage in game.

wow this is super detailed. Any chance of a small update to keep current with balance changes?

I agree with Pyre. Amazing design on the pictures but the Level 1, 2, and 3 Towers' small text requires me to click on the picture which opens up an individual picture of it that I can't zoom into. Then I have to click the link on the top which opens up a separate window of the photo which allows me to zoom in but the window is always small so I have to resize it every time. So much work when you have enough white space to make the text bigger to read from just the Steam guide page.

Pictures are nice, but cant easily zoom in to read...

Amazing guide, 10/10. Sentinel tower seems to be missing on the individual tower list

Wow. I appreciate the work that went not only into compiling this information but also the presentation. Impeccable work.

Awesome Guide =)

Mine Layer Damage Type says "Physical" in text but shows "Area" in picture, I assume it's meant to be "Area" in the Text as well ;)

Epic work, Thanks
