-== ⚙️ Functionality ==
+== Obtainment ==
-Voltshade is a '''hybrid AoE tower''' that alternates between single-target strikes and '''wide-range burst attacks'''.
+'''The''' '''Voltshade''' was previously obtained in the following ways:
-Its unique mechanic — ''every second attack hits all enemies in range'' — allows it to clear waves efficiently, dealing powerful group damage on a regular rhythm.
-* Voltshade’s attack pattern alternates between '''focused shot → area surge'''.
-* The AoE surge damages '''every enemy within its range''', making it highly effective against swarms.
-* Due to its alternating behavior, its true DPS potential increases the longer enemies remain in range.
-== 🎨 Appearance ==
-Voltshade is visually distinct, resembling a '''dark, flower-like construct infused with electric energy'''.
-Its aesthetic blends organic plant design with glowing energy elements — symbolizing the fusion of ''shadow'' and ''voltage''.
-'''Key Features:'''
-* A dark grey-to-black stem and petals, accented with '''neon green glowing veins'''.
-* Central '''emerald-green core''' that pulses in sync with its attacks.
-* Petal-like appendages resembling '''hands''' that emit brief electric arcs when firing.
-* Attack animation shows a '''green pulse or electric beam''' expanding outward.
-During its second-attack burst, the core glows intensely, releasing a flash that indicates the “all-enemies” surge.
-== 🌱 Strategy & Usage ==
-'''Voltshade''' excels in sustained wave-clearing and crowd control.
-Its alternating AoE makes it ideal for '''handling clusters of enemies''' that stay within its range for multiple attack cycles.
-'''Optimal placement:'''
-* Long, straight sections where enemies remain visible long enough for multiple burst cycles.
-* Junctions where paths overlap or merge.
-* Mid-field zones paired with slows to ensure enemies stay within range for both hits.
-'''Upgrade Advice:'''
-* Level 2 offers a major power increase and faster surge cycles.
-* Level 3–4 make Voltshade efficient for general-purpose damage lanes.
-* Max Level 5 is situational — best used for late-game or boss support when economy allows.
-== ⚡ Strengths & Weaknesses ==
-'''Strengths'''
-* Large range (up to 47 units).
-* Reliable AoE every second attack.
-* Consistent burst cycles for wave control.
-* Visually clear and easy to sync with support towers.
-* Scales well with attack-speed or damage buffs.
-'''Weaknesses'''
-* Alternating pattern means not every hit is AoE — slower against single bosses.
-* Requires careful placement to maximize multi-target hits.
-* Slightly expensive early-game cost.
-* Vaulted: only tradable, not obtainable directly.
