Stella

== Description ==
Stella is a summoner hero that draws sentient drawings near the path. The drawings do a variety of things depending on the drawing, and the types of drawings Stella can draw as well as their strength depend on her level. 
	
*Can slow down enemies with Snow Minion at Level 3–5.
*All of Stella's Drawings have Detection at any level.
*Drawings can be sold for Mana at a 25:1 rate if not at full Health.
*You can pay mana to repaint her Drawings, healing them to full health.
*When Stella is upgraded, previously placed Drawings gain more Damage and Range, allowing them to remain useful.
*If properly managed, can deal enormous amounts of damage.	
*Only spawns Drawings when an enemy is in Range, making her generally horrible for early waves.
*Placement Limit of 3.
*Snow Minion's effect does not stack.
*As a Drawing attacks, it loses Health, which also lowers its sell cost.
*Requires a lot of Mana and specific micromanagement to reach full potential.
*Currently placed drawings will NOT have their maximum health increased, only future drawings will.

== Strategy ==
=== General ===
*Stella should be placed near the track to be able to summon drawings, but far away enough to maximize the amount of drawings that can be summoned.
*Stella's should be spaced out from each other, to allow for even more drawings to be placed.
*Spectre increases all the drawings damage, and Balloon Pal not only increases Stella's range, but all the drawings as well.
*Stella can potentially deal the most DPS out of any tower if properly managed, including selling certain drawings, and repainting them.
=== Drawings ===
==== Wuffle ====
*Wuffle is Stella's first drawing. It has slightly more DPS than Crab Bot, but less range. Seeing as Doug has even more DPS than both alongside splash damage, Wuffle later becomes outclassed.
==== Jem ====
*Jem's low DPS and range cause it to be considered the worst drawing. It doesn't have much strategic use other than selling it for extra mana.
==== Snow Minion ====
*Snow Minion applies the Chill effect, which deals damage over time and slows enemies, making it considerably useful.
*It is recommended to have only one Snow Minion active, as the effects don't stack, and it deals no damage outside of the effect.
*The Chill effect does not affect ice enemies.
==== Doug ====
*Doug has the most DPS out of all the drawings. Combined with splash damage, it is an amazing drawing, both for crowd control and bosses.
==== Crab Bot====
*Crab Bot has the most range out of the drawings, making it useful on longer maps, while also having good damage.
==Trivia==
* This is one of four heroes that don't show their first level in their placement icon. The other three being Sparks Kilowatt, Chef and Nuki Launcher.
* Stella's Level 4 summon Doug was misnamed as Bombert in the Sandbox stat editor menu.
*Stella used to be the only tower to maintain a consistent rate of buffs each level (+3 health, +.5 range, -1 rate and +1 drawing type).
**However, after the nerf during the Christmas 2022 Update, this is no longer the case.
*Stella may sometimes spawn drawings inside of parts of the map where you normally wouldn't be able to place anything, this is because its coding does only check if said point allows placement, and not if inside of a part.
*Stella's Snow Minion, is the only tower to apply the Chill effect.
*Stella's drawings are used as a tower in the Old Cartoon Weekly Challenge.
*Stella alongside two Wuffles make a cameo in the game Item Asylum on the map ffa_sketched. This is due to the map being made by Subzeroto, a contributor most known for making the map Gleaming Garden.
**During Item Asylum's Christmas Update, the map had a redesign where Stella was moved to another spot and had her appearance changed to the Baker Stella skin from the Christmas Crate.
***Both variants of the map are now removed in that game.
