Author's notes

Shamelessly stolen and slapped my name on it from ttv/fatc_dl This build is very off meta and quite troll. No gun or green spikes, and the concept was nerfed 9/16. Infinitely better by skipping decay for the titanic tesla If you dont like rushing decay (its a meme gimmick) you can buy tesla or buy monster rounds > extra charge > trophy > expansion > decay This build is not easy to make work, if the enemy lane has hard shovers/lane partner is bad shover PLEASE buy monster rounds
