The buff doubles its base [[damage]] and increases its [[range]] by 50%, but doubles its upgrade costs (including Hero XP requirements) and increases its [[footprint]] size by 50% as a trade-off, but the crosspaths of Tier 5 towers will lose the upgrade cost penalty. It also increases the tower's model size, which is purely visual. It does not affect the cost of [[Paragon]] upgrades, and upgrading the Super Star into a Paragon removes the buff. In [[Co-op (BTD6)|Co-op]], only one tower can receive the buff.
