Discount Dog

==Description==
Discount Dog is gray dog who decreases Tower Upgrade Costs while also adding additional effects.
	
*Makes other towers' upgrade prices near them lower, making it very effective to upgrade expensive towers, or to replace towers to a different location.
*Has an ability that can increase the Hero limit, useful for Heroes with low placement limits like Scientist.
*Can overlay Spectre's prices.
*Unlike Spectre, Discount Dog and Balloon Pal have a placement limit of 3, making it unnecessary for multiple players to bring it at same time.
*Range can be increased by Balloon Pal, adding more support range. 
*Ability massively increases the entire team's DPS by increasing both the total placement limit and specific tower placement limits, with the exception of most supports and summoners.	
*Starts to decrease damage from Level 3 onwards. Fortunately, the debuff is so small that it doesn't matter much.
*Like Spectre and Balloon Pal, Discount Dog's buffs don't stack.
*Ability is very expensive and has an escalating cost. Ability also increases price the more players there are in the server. 
*Ability does not affect certain towers.Slime King, Kart Kid, Oddport, Hayes, Beetrice, El Goblino, Nuki Launcher, Spectre, Balloon Pal, or Discount Dog itself.
*Slightly below average range.
==Appearance==
Discount Dog has the appearance of a grey dog with a lime bandana. At level 2, he now has a yellow headband, bandana, and shirt, and holds a yellow sign that reads "Sale". At level 3, his hat, shirt, and sign are now orange. At level 4, he holds a megaphone and he holds another sign. At level 5, Discount Dog holds a big red megaphone and wears a red hat with a zipper, a jacket, and holds another sign pointing to a sign below it.

==Strategy==
* Discount Dog is most effective with expensive towers, such as Hayes and Beetrice.
* It is recommended to place Lemonade Cats next to each other in order for them to be all affected by Discount Dog.
* Balloon Pal can be very useful when paired with Discount Dog, as Balloon Pal can increase his support range.
** Spectre can also be another option, as the two towers cancel each other's debuffs.
* It is somewhat important to note that when using Discount Dog, his Damage Decrease always rounds to the lowest possible damage. For example a tower with 9.9 damage will deal 9 damage instead of 10.
* Damage Decrease does not affect Summoners except for Oddport, Beetrice's Bees and Stella's drawings.
* It is recommended to sell Discount Dog later on to avoid the damage debuff, especially by the final wave.
==Trivia==
*Discount Dog was added alongside with Balloon Pal and the Cloudy Catastrophe map.
*Discount Dog was first teased on Twitter showing the top half of level 4. It was said to not be a dog, but turned out to be one prior to release.
*Discount Dog makes a barking sound when his ability is used.
*In the Sacred Shrine/Corporate Revamp Update, all of Discount Dog’s levels now became compatible to shoulder hero.
*This is the early/prototype version of the Spookiner skin
