Branch

==Description==
Branch is the last of a plant based species of monsters, so its easy for him to feel alone. Luckily though he now has a greater purpose in fighting to protect the ones he now calls his family. You can get him from Silent Sanctuary.

DPS The DPS of Branch is calculated with the formula Damage / Rate for level 1-2 and with the formula (Damage * Burst Count) / (Cooldown + (Rate * Burst Count)) for level 3-5. Please note that the number assumes the tower is only attacking one enemy, it does not include the Splash Area.

== Strategy ==
*Due to its incredible versatility, Branch is a go-to option in most situations, whether it's DPS, crowd control, or early game.
**Few exceptions to this are maps where Range is the most important factor (Honeycomb Heist and Silent Sanctuary), as it's the only thing that Branch lacks.
***However, even on these maps, it is not really a bad option.
*If used during early game, it is heavily recommended to upgrade Branch to level 3 as quickly as possible.
==Trivia==
*Branch had an original design before it was changed.
