Description

The Bolt is a very fast enemy that appears in Intermediate mode and Challenge Trials. It is noticeably faster than most of the enemies that have spawned previously, or will subsequently, in Easy mode. It also has slightly more health than the Armored, though it lacks its defense.

In Casual mode, the Grave Digger can spawn the Bolt with its Summon ability. The Bolt can also be spawned from the Mystery upon its death in Easy mode.

The Bolt is replaced by the Arrow in Headache Headquarters.

Strategy

• Early game towers like the Soldier, Militant, Biologist, Assassin or Cowboy can be used to deal with this quite well.
  • DPS towers like the Minigunner, Hunter or Crook Boss can also be effective, though they are not necessary.
• Stalling towers like the Freezer, Electroshocker, Brawler or Warden can be used to stall the Bolt.
  • Do note that most of such towers deal enough DPS to be able to also clear out Bolts on their own.
• Bolts mostly appear in groups, so splash damage towers like the Rocketeer and Mortar are fairly effective.

Trivia

• The Bolt used to have a very similar appearance to the Circuit from Polluted Wasteland II, with only color changes separating them.
  • The Bolt and Shock also used to be very similar in appearance with only material and color changes separating them.
• The Bolt was formerly one of the smallest enemies in the game.
• The word "Durablox" written on the batteries is a portmanteau of Duracell, which is a real-life battery brand, and Roblox.
