Description

The Burnt Gingerbread was an enemy that appeared in Village of Despair as part of the Christmas 2019 Event. It was a burning gingerbread with its main ability to throw fireballs at towers. This stuns the tower for a lengthy period of time allowing other enemies to get past.

While it had low health for its appearance, it was quite quick.

Appearance

The Burnt Gingerbread takes a similar appearance to the Gingerbread, being more burnt out (or more brown). They have glowing red eyes and have a frosting smile. They are slightly burning, which means the Pyromancer cannot target them. They are also hidden, so towers without hidden detection cannot target them.

Strategy

• Because the Burnt Gingerbread targets the furthest tower in its range, it may be wise to deploy a cheap, far-away tower to avoid the more expensive towers from being stunned.
• The Pyromancer cannot slow this mob down (or target it) as it is already burning.
  • If you want to slow the Burnt Gingerbread, then you can use the Freezer or Frost Blaster.
• Multiple Burnt Gingerbreads tend to throw fireballs at one tower. This stuns the affected tower for a very long time as the stuns stack up.
  • If the tower is important to your survival, it may be best to sell it and replace it.
• As Burnt Gingerbreads are hidden, you will need Outlaws or a couple of Level 2 Minigunners to deal with them. For cheap hidden detection, the Level 2 Soldier provides decent defense.

Trivia

• This may be based on the Christmas 2018 Elemental from R2DA.
• The head used is a re-textured version of the Gingerbread Man Head accessory from the Roblox catalog.
