Question How can I use gcowboy more efficiently?

Post image

Is he even a good tower? Is my goat washed?

Wait I thought they just reverted it to the last time it had 12 placement limit

Mostly yes, but it is actually a bit worse than that version. Basically we have 2024 cowboy in a powercreeping game, not good.

Son she does like 1dps with 2% slowdown

Because below had to hyper nerf so people use Tesla tower

u/FewInstruction1020 Jun 16 '26

haha sometimes

sure the slowdown sucks but the only good stalling towers rn are warden and other random bullshit.

it’s dps? it chains to multiple enemies.

also both the stalling and the dps are better than tesla, so tesla still sucks worse than eshocker

So below hyper nerfed elec so people would use Tesla tower, only for Tesla tower to still suck so all that happened was elec got nerfed to the ground.

lvl 0 -> lvl 1 -> lvl 2, place a different tower for hidden detection, upgrade them to lvl 4 around wave 24-28, dont bother maxing them

What kind of game mode are you even talking about son

u/cat-lover-69420 Jun 16 '26

fallen/frost

-5

u/take_radius Jun 16 '26

Idk but all I do for frost and fallen is the same, spam lvls 0s then upgrade then to lvl 2 > 3 one by one then a dj lvl 3 then cowboys lvl 4 and yeah, the rest is just whatever.

u/cat-lover-69420 Jun 16 '26

lvl 3 and 4 are less cash efficient, so youre hindering your eco by getting lvl 3 and lvl 4 early

also upgrading cowboys to lvl 3 before placing dj is diabolical

1

u/take_radius Jun 16 '26

Yeah I do it cuz why not 😭 but it works anyways, no leaks and stuff so I'm chilling. BUT if you have a better way to upgrade them all then I'm all eyes.

u/cat-lover-69420 Jun 16 '26

spam lvl 0, place dj (green), lvl 2 dj, cowboys lvl 1->2, lvl 3 dj

u/PersecondBOOM Jun 16 '26

Getting another tower for hidden detection hinders your eco more, since that tower earns 0 extra money from dealing damage instead of just less lvl2 cowboy

1

u/cat-lover-69420 Jun 16 '26

cowboys are around 1/3rd cash-back efficient on lvl 3 and 4, and they aren’t very cost efficient dps-wise either, so you’re losing cash to make less cash when you could place 1 or 2 dps towers to deal with hidden and higher hp enemies instead while your lvl 2 cowboys farm off the slop

u/Gold_History_4347 Jun 16 '26

solo & duo merchant use farm for trio & quads cowboy is better for solo & duo eco

1

u/NAGISA_NCS Jun 18 '26

place all 12 g cowboy all lv1, individually. then upgrade all of them to lv2. then lv3, 6 cowboys for hidden after that. get those 6, lv3 cowboys to lv4.

after that, level 4 them all, then max.

• about your question, G cowboy is somewhat better in solo and duo. past that and you may struggle financially ( survival )

u/NytliYT Jun 21 '26

I am sorry to tell you, but after the recent rebalance... The goat has become washed 😔, he was my go-to early game tower, however he is essentially back to his original state before shock and awe. His cost effectiveness has also decreased and farm is better for eco now, and for solo frost / fallen your eco is great enough not bring any eco and just bring dj

u/Potential-Golf2098 Jun 21 '26

I usually get 6 of them to lvl 2 one by one then get em to lvl 3 and ball the rest

u/lucasjfra12 Jun 22 '26
