Description

The Armored is an enemy that appears in Easy, Casual, Challenge Trials, Basic Arena PVP and Molten Arena PVP modes. It also appears in The Takeover Event. It also appears in the tutorial and first chapters of Story mode. It has decent health, though less than the Normal Boss and Elite Abnormal. It makes up for this with a decent speed, as well as an average amount of defense, which makes it take less damage from most sources of damage. Additionally, it often spawns with multiple attributes which make it harder to kill.

The Armored can be summoned by the Grave Digger. The Armored was replaced by the Armored Toilet in Headache Headquarters.

Appearance

The Armored has a green skin color and a black torso and legs. It wears a grey riot helmet with a chipped grey visor, shoulder-pads, knee-pads and a tactical bullet vest.

Strategy

• Beginner towers such as the Scout, Sniper, Paintballer and Soldier are enough to take down the Armored if enough of them are placed and upgraded.
  • Cheap towers with decent DPS, like the Ace Pilot, Assassin, Militant or Cowboy can also be very effective against the Armored.
• Splash damage towers, such as the Demoman and Rocketeer, are useful against the Armored as it normally spawns in hordes.
• You can use towers like the Pyromancer or Freezer to reduce its defense, although it is not necessary as its health is negligible.
