Quick Answer

Combat Stats
| Placement Cost | $400 | Maximum DPS | 500 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Attack Range | 20 | Card Reading Note | Area damage; community reports a shield problem. |
Dual independent card readings establish a 400 cash placement cost, delivering 500 area DPS across a 20-range radius. Graded notes identify that community reports highlight a persistent shield problem, meaning its area pulses struggle to pierce shielded enemy types effectively. Players should deploy it for unshielded swarm clearing while reserving shield-piercing towers for armored waves.
Large TV Man delivers 500 area DPS across a 20-range radius for 400 cash. While community reports note that his pulses struggle against shielded units, he excels at wiping out clusters of basic unshielded creeps during early and middle waves, making him a useful introductory splash tower.
Tactical Deployment Timing: Large TV Man is most effective when placed on corner bends before wave 18. His 500 area DPS pulse wipes out swarms of unarmored creeps in seconds. However, as soon as shielded enemy variants appear past wave 20, players must position shield-breaking towers like Titan Cinemaman or Upgraded Titan Speakerman upstream to strip defenses before Large TV Man engages. Shield Workarounds & Midline Positioning: While Large TV Man's 500 area DPS provides clean wave clearing against basic creeps, his community-documented shield limitation means he should never be your sole line of defense past wave 20. Back him up with single-target snipers like Jetpack Cameraman to eliminate shielded leads before they bypass his pulses.
Placement Notes
Featuring a 20-range boundary, Large TV Man functions best when hugging tight track corners. Placing it at the apex of early turns allows its area pulse to cover clumped creeps as they round bends.
