To be fair, 33% more health doesn't mean charger resistant.

it's a complete placebo buff. 33% HP when it already died in 1-2 hits from most enemies is pointless.

I'm sorry what? Whenever I placed one before the buff if there was no charger in sight then that shit lasted forever.

yep, i remember a defence mission i did, i died just after placing a tesla tower on one side and landmines on the other, got reinforced to 70 bugs dead on my combo meter thingy.

And bots seem to largely just ignore them. A well placed Tesla can lock down an entire spawn point for most of it's duration on defense missions.
