__TOC__

==Description==
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|Sandbox]] mode, replacing every [[Slow]] and [[Heavy]] modern variant, or with its [[Logbooks|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==
The '''Chad''' has grey skin, black pants, hair and beard.

==Headache Headquarters Strategy==
As this enemy only appears through [[Sandbox Mode|Sandbox]] mode, no strategy section is made for its current version. Instead, a strategy section for the one that appeared without [[Sandbox Mode|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.
