Anything you'd like to say about the guy, ping me (TheTimesweeper#5727) on the ror2 modding discord or the enforcer discord (https://discord.gg/r5XTMFd4W7). I'll be taking a close look at feedback.

Overview

Based on Tesla Trooper from Red Alert 2, but with SkeletorChampion coming in and saying "nah I'm model him to fit RoR2, and look awesome, and my dong is enormous".
Tesla Trooper is a mid-range bruiser on his own, and an all-range monster when he builds his Tesla Tower.

  • stacking simultaneous towers turned out way too strong for a green rarity item

  • unlimited stacking behavior can be reverted in config
• Fixed Utility's cooldown to start after the move is done
• Fixed missing tower sounds in multiplayer
• lowered sound distance so they don't dominate the battlefield
  • let me know if they're too quiet now
