Description

The Tomato Plant is the starter tower obtained upon joining the game for the first time, being totally free. Additionally, this tower is cheaper than most towers in Garden Tower Defense so it can be placed immediately from the start of the game.
Since this tower is not viable in late waves, it remains a valuable tool for new players learning the game.

How to use?

The Tomato Plant has a very easy and simple use. Placing multiple Tomato Plants early can help you survive the early waves as you build up your economy for better towers.
Even though it has cheap upgrades and a fast attack speed, the overall DPS isn't good at max level, making it useless in the mid and late-game when enemies are faster and have a lot higher HP. After around wave 10, the Tomato Plant is outclassed by nearly every other tower in the game and even more in game-modes such as Endgame or Enchanted Mode.

Trivia

The Tower Tomato Plant is inspired in a Tomato in real life.
Often called the "Rookie Tower" by players due to its status as the first tower unlocked and it's free.
