Is Hallow Punk Worth It?

For existing owners, Hallow Punk's knockback and Lead detection from Level 0 make it a useful backline safety net, and it eventually gains Fire damage, Hidden detection (Level 2), and Flying detection (Level 3), though its overall DPS stays modest for a tower with this large an upgrade cost.

Best Loadouts With Hallow Punk

Place it near the exit as a last line of defense; its knockback pairs well with high-DPS towers upstream that need more time to finish off enemies.
