―Beginning of Wave 39 (Golden)

Description

The 24 Karat was a golden enemy that appeared in Golden mode. It had slightly fast speed while having health comparable to that of the Slow Boss. Its main trait was the fact that it was immune to splash damage due to it being a golden enemy. This meant that any splash damage that came from a tower, such as the Rocketeer, was useless against this.

The 24 Karat could be spawned by the Gold Titan, and by the Mystery Boss upon its death in Golden mode, from wave 38 onwards.

Strategy

• The 24 Karat is immune to splash damage. Towers that deal splash damage, like the Rocketeer, Mortar and Demoman, are useless against this enemy as they deal no damage.
• You can slow down the 24 Karat by using the Pyromancer, Frost Blaster and Electroshocker.
  • The Freezer's basic freeze cannot freeze 24 Karats, but the Frost Blaster and Freezer's Ice Age ability can freeze it.
  • Be aware that the Electroshocker can only slow down the 24 Karat by 15% as opposed to the regular 30%.
• Due to their high health and above average speed, high DPS towers such as the Minigunner, Outlaw and Turret are recommended against this.

Trivia

• 24 Karat was a reference to 24 karat (or 24 carat) gold, which is 99.99% pure gold.
  • This makes the metal very soft, meaning that it is not stronger than lower karats of gold.
• Because of the Mystery Boss, the 24 Karat could appear before its first wave appearance in Golden mode.
• 24 Karat's partial electric immunity was replaced with energy immunity in the Overhaul Update despite being removed from the game in the same update.
