- "Up ahead are some Large Zombies. They're slow but have a lot of health.
You can command some of your towers to prioritize stronger targets, but make sure to keep a few focused on the weaker ones otherwise they might get by." - ―Commander dialogue on Wave 4 (Headache Headquarters)
- "Large zombies approaching! They're slow, but they can take a beating!
Command some of your units by making them target stronger enemies. A healthy balance will win us this fight!" - ―Commander dialogue on Wave 5 (Headache Headquarters)
- "Tankier zombies are starting to seep in!
They may be slow, but they are harder to bring down! Stay vigilant!." - ―Commander dialogue on Wave 4 (Formerly, Headache Headquarters)
Description
[edit]The Chad was an enemy that appeared Headache Headquarters, replacing the Slow. Currently, it only appears when the Brain Rot modifier is activated in Sandbox mode, replacing every Slow and Heavy modern variant, or with its Logbook. It has a high amount of health and was slightly faster than the Toilet, which makes it a quite dangerous enemy. Additionally, it has defense, reducing most forms of damage against it.
Appearance
[edit]The Chad has grey skin, black pants, hair and beard.
Headache Headquarters Strategy
[edit]As this enemy only appears through Sandbox mode, no strategy section is made for its current version. Instead, a strategy section for the one that appeared without Sandbox mode in Headache Headquarters is listed instead.
- Strong early-game towers like the Militant, Golden Scout or Golden Cowboy are very effective here.
- Towers with area of effect capabilities, like the Electroshocker or Mortar, can also be useful here.
- Towers that decrease defense, like the Pyromancer, Electroshocker or Cryomancer can be used to allow your towers to deal more damage to them, as well as making them slower when affected by certain defense dropping towers.
- High DPS towers, such as the Minigunner can be quite effective against this enemy, although they might cost a bit too much to be utilized when it first spawns.
