** The Stacking Power upgrade for Bullet towers sounds really cool. It gives a '''HUGE''' [[CombinationAttack buff to close Bullet towers.]] The problem? ''Everything else.'' It's the second most expensive upgrade in the game, it can only affect Bullet towers which are essentially the cheap as dirt early game towers, and it only has it's effect in a 3x3 radius. The last blow to this is the Booster tower's mere existence, which does nearly everything a x/4 Bullet tower does but better and without attacks.
** The Neuron Deactivation upgrade for Electro towers sounds, once again, very useful. It causes all attacked Vectoids to move backwards for a moment and be unable to regenerate. One catch: all is a bit of an overstatement. Due to [[ContractualBossImmunity Contractual Boss Immunity]], Boss Vectoids are unable to receive this effect. Sounds fine until you realize that, by the time you get this upgrade, [[DegradedBoss various Boss Vectoids will spawn on regular waves]].
** The Stable Mines and Cold Dark Matter upgrades for DM Mines towers make mines carry over rounds with a bit less power then before and, in the latter's case, '''quadruples''' mine power! Unfortunately, these suffer from various flaws. Like the other examples of Awesome, but Impractical here, Cold Dark Matter is very expensive, and Stable Mines is fairly costly as well. Both upgrades are good for stalling, but in this game a [[CrutchCharacter Crutch Character]] is a terrible idea. Oh, and neither of them can attack Flying Vectoids, and at best can attack Dark Matter Vectoids half the time.

Vectoid TD 3D, creator-proclaimed to be the "[[CreatorsFavoriteEpisode best game on ]][[Website/{{Scratch}} scratch]]", is a [[TowerDefense Tower Defense Game]] released in 2023 on Scratch by ggenije. [[{{Mooks}} Vectoids]] attempt to travel across the track, and your goal is to defeat them by placing down various towers. The game is notable for it's use of [[NoSell No-Sells]] as many enemies have traits that give them immunities. It's also very notable for it's excellent [[CompetitiveBalance Competitive Balance]] to the point of where very few upgrades could be considered a [[LowTierLetdown Low-Tier Letdown]] or a [[GameBreaker Game Breaker]]. As mentioned above it was created on Scratch, although the game plays better on Turbowarp. The game on the latter platform can be found [[http://turbowarp.org/670754400?fps=60&hqpen here]].

Vectoid TD 3D contains examples of:
* [[AirborneMook Airborne Mook]]: Many Vectoids have the Flying trait which gives them immunities to all towers that cannot attack flying Vectoids. The [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Flying]] group of Vectoids are the first example, and many Vectoids afterward have the trait.
* [[ArcWords Arc Words]]: Or rather ''an arc letter.'' The letter itself is S. It initially shows up in the S Legionaries, and later appears for [[spoiler:all postgame Vectoids, ending with the [[TrueFinalBoss SSSS]].]]
* [[AreaOfEffect Area of Effect]]: Sound towers deal damage to every Vectoid in their range when they attack.
* [[BreadEggsBreadedEggs Bread, Eggs, Breaded Eggs]]: There are Flying Vectoids, there are [[WeakToMagic Diamond]] Vectoids, and there are Flying Diamond enemies. Destroyers also exist and have the [[OhCrap Flying, Diamond, AND Dark Matter traits]].
* [[CripplingOverspecialization Crippling Overspecialization]]: Several towers end up having this.

[[SubvertedTrope However, a DM Mines tower upgraded to Antimatter Mines can attack Dark Matter Vectoids with each second mine, and a DM Mines tower upgraded to Going Viral can attack Dark Matter Vectoids with all mines.]]
** Electro towers are completely unable to attack Flying Vectoids. DM Mines towers also can't attack them unless upgraded to Gravity Mines.
** The Sound tower's low range makes it's usage mostly restricted to bends in the track. Doesn't help that the left path is completely unable to attack Flying Vectoids.

** Electro towers shoot lightning bolts that can do chain attacks on multiple Vectoids, along with slowing non-boss Vectoids.
** Dark Matter towers shoot orbs that explode.
** Particle towers don't follow this by default, but one with the Particle Accelerator upgrade can pierce up to ten Vectoids.
