Scientist

==Description==
There was once a genius, who approached the world with fascination. She grew up to become one of a famous scientist creating several different innovations. Scientist is a female hero, sporting green skin, pink hair, glasses, and a white lab coat. In her hand she wields a electricity stick that shocks enemies in her range.
	
*Level 4 and 5 Scientists attack in short bursts instead of a single zap, allowing her to attack the next enemy if she defeated the first one.
*First 3 levels are fairly cheap and have high damage, making her strong against hidden enemies if your other towers can't detect them.
*Good range at all levels allows her to attack for a long period of time, unlike other ranged towers that function as a melee tower at earlier levels.	
*Limit of only 5.
*Level 5 is expensive.
*First three levels attack slow, making her struggle against crowds of enemies.
*Like Fracture, has a massive placement space which makes her bad for smaller maps like Metaverse Madness.
*Long Cooldown at Levels 4 and 5.

DPSThe DPS of Scientist is calculated with the formula Damage / Rate for level 1-3 and with the formula (Damage * Burst Count) / (Cooldown + Duration) for level 4-5.

==Strategy==
* Because of the cheap cost and high damage for level 2, Scientist can easily help with enemies like Ghosts.
* However do be aware that Scientist has a slow attack speed. To remedy this, upgrade Scientist to level 4.
** Level 4-5 Scientists can help with crowds of enemies.
* Scientist has a large placement space like Fracture, so it's only recommended to use her on large maps, such as Grand Garage, and not use her on small maps like Metaverse Madness.
==Trivia==
*During Beta testing of Tower Heroes, Scientist could be purchased from the shop for free.
*Just like Chef, Scientist also has eyes under her glasses.
*On Byte's level 5 appearance, her face can be seen on one of the screens.
*Scientist was the first tower to have a negative aspect of an upgrade, with the level 4 upgrade decreasing damage by 23 and adding a Cooldown.
**Branch, Yasuke and Lure have this as well.
*The Mini-Laser skin is reused in both The Library? and Roliday Rumble Story mode Quests.
