"This enemy has already taken quite a beating, but it can take a lot more!
Look out for the giant boss!"

―Commander dialogue on Wave 22 (Polluted Wasteland Fallen)

"Get ready for a GIANT boss!"

―Beginning of Wave 22 (Pre-Overhaul, Polluted Wasteland Fallen)

Description

The Amalgamation was an enemy that only appeared in Polluted Wasteland, replacing the Giant Boss. While replacing the Giant Boss whenever it was meant to spawn in Fallen mode in Polluted Wasteland, the Amalgamation was much faster than the Giant Boss while also having 3,000 more health. The Amalgamation had a constant regeneration ability which occurred every second, which made it hard to kill without teamwork.

The Amalgamation used to spawn from the Mystery Boss upon its death in Polluted Wasteland Fallen mode only.

Appearance

The Amalgamation's appearance was similar to the second version of the Tank (with even more likeness to the removed Tank 2). It had regular arms and red skin. Its torso was slightly bloated and tumors could be seen on its left arm and back. The Amalgamation had black diamond-plated legs with bones sticking out of its arms. It also had a happy drooling face with red glowing eyes. It had the same walking animation as the Wasted Boss. The Amalgamation emitted healing particles every time it healed.

Strategy

• Fast firerate towers are not always the best solution to kill the Amalgamation.
  • This is because if the Amalgamation is left unharmed for a while (such as going around corners not in the range of any tower), it will heal all of its health back.
  • Later on during the game, you should have sufficient DPS to deal with hordes of Amalgamations.
• Rangers, in small numbers, are weak against the Amalgamation due to their slow firerate as, between shots, the Amalgamation can heal back the damage.
  • However, several Level 3 Rangers, combined with Commander's Call to Arms ability, can kill the Amalgamation.
• The Military Base's Tank and Railgun Tank are somewhat good against the Amalgamation due to their collision damage dealing a quick burst of high damage.
  • However, these units must collide with the Amalgamation at the same time so that it does not have time to heal back the damage dealt.
• Try to concentrate all of your damage at once. Spreading out your damage output will result in the Amalgamation being able to heal back the lost health.
• Unlike the Giant Boss, the Amalgamation can be slowed down by the Electroshocker.
  • The Freezer and Frost Blaster can also help slow down this boss, allowing your towers to attack it for a longer period of time.
• Several Level 5 Swarmers can easily take this out when it first appears, when their abilities are used concurrently to cancel out the Amalgamation's healing ability.
• Make sure that your towers cover most of the map as the Amalgamation can regain health if it is out of the range of towers.
• A Level 5 Accelerator, combined with the Commander's Call to Arms ability, can kill the Amalgamation quickly.

Trivia

• Currently, this, the Health Cultist and Lava are currently the only enemies that can heal itself, not including enemies that have been removed or have had their Regeneration ability removed.
• The Commander improperly mentions this enemy as a Giant Boss.
