Mastering the Engineer Cameraman in Blox TTD
In Blox's Toilet Tower Defense (TTD), the Engineer Cameraman is a versatile unit that can make or break your defense strategy. This blog post will provide an in-depth look at the Engineer Cameraman, including strategies for early and late game, its value in speed runs, and its role as a backup unit.
Early Game Strategy
The Engineer Cameraman is an excellent choice for the early game. It can be placed right from Wave 1 and is capable of eliminating numerous enemies. Although its damage per second per dollar (dps/$) ratio is 0.17, which is lower compared to units like Ninja Cameraman and Dark Speakerman, it has its advantages. For instance, a single Engineer Cameraman with 500 hp can take out ten 50 hp small toilets without overkill, making it efficient for solo play. However, in auto-skipping groups, its lower dps can be a drawback for speed runs.
Level 4 Engineer Cameraman
For those who rely on engineers, it's recommended to upgrade to at least a Level 4 Engineer Cameraman by Wave 5, especially in Nightmare Mode, to handle the Boss Toilet effectively. If you're auto-skipping, consider pausing to build up damage as needed.
Max Level Engineer Cameraman
At max level, the Engineer Cameraman spawns a formidable tank with 50,000 HP, which can handle waves up to around Wave 23, where two UFO Toilets appear. However, players should be aware of the high cost associated with reaching this level.
Stun Soaking
>Similar to the Scientist Cameraman, the Engineer Cameraman can act as a stun soaker. Position it strategically to absorb stuns from dynamite toilets or claws, protecting your other units. Be cautious, though—if the Engineer Cameraman gets stunned, you won't be able to upgrade it, which could lead to missing crucial upgrades.
Backup Unit
The Engineer Cameraman is often used as a "backup" unit. If toilets manage to bypass your front-line defenses, the Engineer Cameraman can step in to save the day, providing that extra layer of security when you need it most.
In conclusion : the Engineer Cameraman is a unit with a unique set of abilities that, when used correctly, can significantly enhance your TTD gameplay. Whether you're using it for its early-game potential, its stun-soaking ability, or as a reliable backup, the Engineer Cameraman is a valuable addition to any player's arsenal. Remember to upgrade strategically and position wisely to make the most of this versatile unit. Happy defending!
