Description

The Jester is an exclusive splash damage tower previously obtainable by triumphing the third act of the Lunar Overture Event. It could also have been obtained through a limited-time gamepass for 750 Robux during Lunar Overture Event. Most recently it could be bought for 749 Robux as part of the 2025 Halloween event countdown. The Jester is a tower mostly based around debuffs. It throws a bomb at enemies, two at Level 4, which can be configured to apply one of the four debuffs it can apply to enemies. Most of these bombs also deal splash damage, which makes them able to deal damage to lead enemies. However, unlike most other splash towers, the Jester's splash damage is always the same, regardless of how far away the enemy is from the center. Additionally, the Jester's bombs do not ignore defense and can only hit five enemies. The first is the fire bomb, which sets enemies on fire. The second bomb is the ice bomb, which is unlocked at Level 2. It slows down enemies by 25% for 2 seconds, which stacks up to 25% and deals 20% of the fire bomb damage. From Level 3, it starts to reduce enemy Defense, reducing up to 33% of it. The third bomb is the poison bomb, unlocked at Level 3. It creates a puddle of acid, which damages enemies. The puddle lasts for 30 seconds. Additionally, it does not deal splash damage. The fourth and final bomb is the confusion bomb, unlocked at Level 4. This bomb causes the enemies to walk towards the entrance for 2 seconds, with an 6-second cooldown before it can be reapplied on an enemy; however, Boss enemies will not be affected by the confusion.

Strategy

The Jester has four bombs that have unique effects on enemies. The fire bomb deals burn damage, which is half of the Jester's damage. The ice bomb slows down enemies, though its damage is 20% of the Jester's damage. The poison bomb, instead of exploding, creates a poisonous puddle that damages enemies and reduces defense. Damage is 30% of the Jester's damage. The confusion bomb causes non-boss enemies to go towards the entrance instead of the exit, though it deals no damage. If the bomb for a slot is changed, the Jester will not change the bomb or bombs it is currently holding until it throws them. The Equip Bombs ability can be used to make the Jester change its bombs instantly. While the Jester can indirectly hit flying enemies with its explosions, this should not be completely relied on, and you should use other flying detecting towers instead. The Jester, for most bombs, is a splash damage tower, allowing it to deal damage to lead enemies. It also bypasses Defense, though its poison damage does not. Poison bombs can be quite good against crowds, as their poisonous puddles can deal a lot of damage when stacked. The ice bomb can decrease up to 33% of an enemy's defense through its chill, making it very useful against enemies with high defense. If you use another defense melting tower, like the Pyromancer, you can remove most of the enemy's defense or remove it entirely. However, do note that the Jester's defense melting does not stack with other chilling towers.

Patch history

Uniquely, the Jester's description is written in first-person, and is currently the only tower to do so. The Beast and The Flea skins of the Jester are the most expensive items purchasable in the game with coins, at 1,346,914,794 Coins. These prices were directly copied from the Deluxe Crate. However, for the Deluxe Crate, these are used to create Robux Robux purchases for the skins. For the Coin Crate, it was changed to Coins Coins, resulting in extremely high prices.
