―Beginning of Wave 39 (Golden)

Description

The 24 Karat is a golden enemy that appeared in Golden mode, which is exclusive to Sandbox mode. It has slightly fast speed while having health comparable to that of the Slow Boss. Its main trait was the fact that it is immune to splash damage due to it being a golden enemy. This means that most splash damage that comes from a tower, such as the Rocketeer, is useless against this.

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

Strategy

• Due to their high health and above average speed, high DPS towers such as the Pursuit, Ranger and Turret are recommended against this.
• 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.
  • It is not, however, immune to all forms of splash damage. The Paintballer, Hallow Punk, Grenade, AirStrike and Nuke can still damage it.
• You can slow down the 24 Karat by using the Freezer, DJ Booth and Electroshocker.
  • As it has the Stun Immunity, it cannot be knocked back or stunned, only slowed down.

Trivia

• 24 Karat is 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 can appear before its first wave appearance in Golden mode.
