Balloon Pal

==Description==
Balloon Pal is a support tower that increases the range of towers. He looks relatively close to a Bandit with balloons as support. 
	
*Can increase Range (and Splash area) by up to 50%.
*Bomb Floats have 5000 HP which explode doing an extra 2500 damage.
*Unlike Spectre, it has a placement limit of 3, making unnecessary for multiple players to bring it at same time.
*Range buff can affect Spectre and Discount Dog, adding more support range.
*Fairly cheap upgrades.
*Its ability can be used infinitely.	
*
*Ability becomes more expensive when used.
*Bomb floats can damage friendly summons.
*Increases spawn rate of summoners if they are within range at level 3-5

(The Ability can be used an infinite amount of times, with the price of it increasing with each.)
==Strategy==
*Balloon Pal should be brought in almost any situation, especially if using Ranged towers.
*Balloon Pal's Ability can be used to kill enemies that managed to get out of the other towers' Range.
**It is recommended to only use the Ability a maximum of two times due to its constant price increase.
*Slime King, Kart Kid, Jester and Hayes do not have Range as a statistic, therefore Balloon Pal only increases their Rate, thus exclusively debuffing them.
==Trivia==
*The Bandit Skin, Egg Child Skin and Streamer Skin have random colours when put on. These are currently the only skins that can change colours.
*The ability increases by 10000, multiplied by the number of players in-game after the first use.
*Balloon Pal was added alongside with Discount Dog with the Cloudy Catastrophe map on the 11/28/2020 update.
*This was probably a scrapped version of this tower
