Overview	Gallery

Appearance

Yasuke is a melee tower obtainable by beating Sacred Shrine on hard mode. He wields a sword to attack enemies and specializes in close-range, extremely high DPS. He bears the appearance of a half-dragon-half-human.


Pros	Cons
Has very high DPS, being one of the highest in the game. Second highest placement limit of 12, tied with Chef. Ability increases damage, the damage boost can stack with Spectre's boost. The ability price increases only by 250 per use. Dragon Flames helps serve as a good alternative to damage over time, compared to Dumpster Child's Biohazard. Cannot get stunned while using Special Ability. Fast attack rate. Cooldown won't be very noticed in later levels, although Level 2 might be a little noticeable.	Small range causes him to struggle against very fast enemies. However, his low rate and high damage allows him to kill those enemies rather quickly in level 2 onwards. Level 5 is Somewhat Expensive. Extremely expensive in the shop, costing 570 coins. Locked Behind Sacred Shrine on Hard Difficulty. Overall somewhat expensive.

Special Ability

When using the ability for 3000, Yasuke's burst count increases to 6, his damage increases by 1.3x, his range increases by 1.14x, and his cooldown and rate decreases by 0.85x for 20 seconds. Additionally, his sword now has Dragon Flames on it, which means enemies hit by the sword will receive the Dragon Flames Effect. Dragon Flames deals 5 damage per tick, which can be increased by Spectre. It also grants stun immunity.

Strategy

Yasuke's Dragon Flame damage can also increase with Spectre.
Yasuke should primarily be used in medium and hard difficulty because of its expensive cost and a decent lack of DPS without his Special Ability.
- The tower is still viable on easy difficulty if brought along with Discount Dog.
Like most Melee towers, Yasuke is best combined with Byte/El Goblino.

Trivia

The creator of Yasuke, Qwelver, has stated on Discord that Sylvia the Dragon Queen is Yasuke's mother.
Yasuke's eyes will glow purple when his ability is active.
Yasuke is actually named after the black samurai Yasuke
Just like Beetrice, he was buffed a day after he was released.
- This makes him the second tower to be buffed a day after being released.
Yasuke used to have a visible fang at Level 5, however, this was removed in the PvP update.
Yasuke has two skins that have references to Five Nights at Freddy's.
Yasuke's helmet in his level 5 stage has a mana in the centre of it. His headband at level 4 also has 2 manas on it
