Description

The EDJ (short for the Encomium-DJ) is a support tower with limited range that can buff the range and firerate of nearby towers and is highly recommended for both Expert Mode and Endless Mode, while being generally useful in virtually every other gamemode. The EDJ is solely a support tower and will do no damage to enemies whatsoever. It is unable to buff towers that do not benefit from Friendly Buffs such as Warship, XWM Turret, Sentries and Helicopters, and it cannot boost the range of the Slammer.

Upgrades

EDJ's Top Path aims to buff the range of towers within its range by 30%, and their firerate by up to 60%. It is granted an ability allowing it to do so on the third and fifth upgrade of this path. This tends to pair well with its Bottom Path counterpart, as it will reduce its long cooldown of 40 seconds by 15%, while increasing its range at the same time.

The Bottom Path for EDJ discounts upgrades (excluding the max upgrades) for towers, with it peaking at a 30% discount on its max upgrade. This is also able to discount other EDJs and is generally recommended to get when getting Juggernauts, Railgunners, and Golden Juggernauts due to their expensive upgrade costs. When used correctly, it is a great way to save money for other towers, and is heavily recommended in Expert Mode and Endless Mode.

Strategies

• Players can upgrade to 5-X to refresh the EDJ's Encore ability.
  • Alternatively, players can sell their EDJ to constantly buff their towers.
• Players should pair EDJs with Johns and Commanders to maximize the DPS of nearby towers.
• The EDJ is highly recommended if players are attempting to freeze bosses with Bottom Path Cryo Blasters.
• The EDJ's range (especially on its Top Path) is small. Be sure to utilize most of its range and get as many towers boosted as possible.
  • You can help counteract the small range by placing an additional EDJ near the original, as EDJs can buff each other's range..
  • The EDJ buff hitboxes are based on placement rings. As long as a tower's placement ring is inside its range, it will be buffed.
  • The Commander can increase the EDJ's range to encompass more towers.
• In boss waves, there is a good chance EDJ will be killed due to having lower health values. Replacing or using Medic can help alleviate this.

Trivia

• Each custom model EDJ's skin, except for Valentine's, has it's own music track.
  • The default, Cyber Neko, and Catgirl skin themes are made by NintyMusic.
  • The Tower Battles EDJ theme is a custom remix of All for You.
  • The Rockband skin plays a rock band cover of All for You.
    • Both Tower Battles EDJ and Rockband's songs reference the DJ from Tower Battles which is most known for using the song Ace Of Base - All For You 2k12 (Metyou & Haus Remix).
  • The Ghost skin plays Gigaslayer's Phonky Hell by Aaron F. Bianchi Jupiter, which is also the boss theme of SUPER REVIVED TOLIET JOHN MK I9X.
  • The Summer skin plays the song Sun of a Beach by The Gee J.
• The Catgirl skin is what the EDJ previously used to look like before the game's release.
  • In the pre-release version, the Top Path was able to slow down enemies depending on her level and the zombie's side, as well as reveal stealthed enemies after 5 seconds. It was also planned to slow bosses too with an ability. Meanwhile, its Bottom Path had a 70% nearby tower sellback buff and was able to prevent nearby towers from being stunned from ground slams and indirect attacks.
  • Its design was changed because it didn't match the military style of the game.
• The EDJ's upgrade portraits have more detailed eyes with blue irises, while the actual model's eyes are black.
• All of the EDJ's upgrade icons use Ranger's upgrade render icons. They are assumed to be placeholders.
  • EDJ's ability icon used to be Ranger's grenade ability icon.
• The EDJ is the first female characters seen in-game, with the others being Cryo Ranger, Dr. Xenon, the XWM Turret Pilot, REDACTED and Slammer.
• Early in development, EDJ was originally supposed to have music for both paths, as said by John in the Catgirl EDJ video’s comment section.
• In the game’s development phase, EDJ was just called DJ.
• EDJ is one of three towers to have no issues with line of sight, the others being the Warship and Commander.
• Despite the fact that an X-3+ EDJ can reduce placement prices of towers, the placing player is required to have the tower's base cost to place it.
