―In-game Description

Description

While targeting a specific zombie, it will affect those around the target, dealing splash damage. Splash damage is calculated as half the total damage. For the target Demoman is directly aiming at, it will deal the given damage in addition to the splash damage (meaning that the direct target will be damaged by 6 at base level).

The Demoman is great for everything except the Golden enemies encountered in Hard mode, as they are immune to explosive damage. This can be considered a early game to mid-game tower, though it can be very useful in later games, due to its splash and surprising strength despite its very low unlock cost.

Pros/Cons

• Pros:

• • Mediocre Damage.
  • Splash damage
  • Decent range
• Cons:

• • Lacks Firerate.
  • Slightly Expensive Placement & upgrade cost.
  • Damage is low against higher health zombies.

Trivia
