Detonator (Bank)

Detonator, previously called Blood Altar, is the fourth Bank introduced into the game, first appearing during the Royal Flush update. It is available in the shop after beating On the Heights for the first time, and can be bought for . It increases enemy bounty by a considerable amount, though also adds a timer in which if it reaches zero, the player instantly loses. Upgrading the bank resets the timer, but every upgrade reduces the duration of the timer.
==Appearance==
Detonator has a similar design to Investment, but with a darker grey, different pillars, and a neon red display that would presumably have the timer on it. 
There is currently no physical model of this bank in game, it is merely an image.
==Usage==
Detonator takes the Default bank, cranks up the bounty tenfold, and puts you on a timer. Having a massively increased enemy bounty value allows you to reap bountifully from enemy kills. This means that the player can set up very quickly once they get a kill. Thus, tactics such as using a Slammer on a small group of enemies would normally lend you around 700 dollars if the game is being generous. A kill on a single strong enemy with Detonator, such as a , can give you thousands due to how enemy bounty scales with HP. Paired up with the passive income gain and this gives a good basis for a starting defense.
The downside to this is pretty self explanatory, that being the timer which you have to constantly upgrade to avoid an early death. Each upgrade resets the timer to 60, but making it tick faster as a result. Assuming you upgrade all the way to level 8, with no time wasted by upgrading early, you'll have a maximum of about 5 minutes and 15 seconds to complete a stage, and that's if you keep feeding it with money before the timer ends. Therefore, a lot of the time you would need to conserve your money for the next upgrade while controlling your unit spending in order to do that to prevent an early death.
The ridiculous enemy bounty and timer is an obvious indicator that Detonator is great, if not designed, for speedrunning stages. But along with that, Detonator is by FAR the best bank when a stage throws enemies at you right away. All other banks require stalling for as much time as possible to build up a strong income to send units out with. Detonator is the exception to this rule, thriving, if not requiring you to kill to make money. If you ever feel like too many enemies are getting to your base too early, or if the stage is very short (in literal length), Detonator turns that point of pressure into a opportunity to make easy money, providing you master its time gimmick.
