Triumph Outpost 32 on Easy difficulty

Description

The Snowballer is an exclusive offensive support tower that could have been obtained by triumphing Outpost 32 on the Easy difficulty. It could be obtained via a gamepass for 249 Robux. The Snowballer throws snowballs at enemies, dealing splash damage to them. These snowballs also apply chillness, which slows them down. At Level 3, it can also freeze enemies for a few seconds after reaching max chillness. These snowballs are explosive, dealing damage to multiple enemies in the explosion. These enemies receive damage based on their distance from the center of the explosion. The further away they are, the less damage they receive. Additionally, this also grants it the ability to bypass enemy defense. The Snowballer can damage Lead enemies from Level 0 and detect Flying enemies on Level 3. The Snowballer is mainly considered to be an early-game tower due to its low cost and low DPS, however it can provide decent stalling later on during the game.

Strategy

The Snowballer's DPS makes it only reliable as an offensive tower in the early game, though even there it can struggle in harder modes like Hardcore mode and special modes. This means that it is mostly a support tower used to slow down enemies in harder modes, though it can be used as an early-game tower in easier modes quite well. If you want to use the Snowballer for early game, it is best to try get it to Level 3 as fast as possible, since it will be able to damage more enemies per attack as well as freeze enemies. The Snowballer can slow down and later, freeze enemies with its snowballs. Do note, however, that the Snowballer can only hit up to 2 enemies at Level 0-2, making it worse against crowds in comparison to other freezing towers like the Cryomancer or Frost Blaster. However, it is very cheap to fully upgrade the Snowballer, where it can hit up to four enemies, which makes it a good option for handling weaker crowds that are not immune to freeze. Because of how cheap it is, the Snowballer can be used to deal with Lead enemies from Level 0 and with Flying enemies from Level 3. The Snowballer especially excels at taking down early game Lead and Flying enemies thanks to its splash damage and freezing capabilities.

Trivia

The Snowballer is the second tower to have only three upgrades, with the first being the Hallow Punk. The Snowballer has the lowest total upgrade cost in the game. During Outpost 32, if Easy difficulty was selected, the Snowballer would be included in all loadouts as a sixth tower, even if the player had not obtained the Snowballer.
