==Description==
The '''Circuit''', internally referred to as '''Circuit2''', is an enemy that appears in [[Polluted Wasteland II]] and [[Challenge Trials]]. It has a somewhat high amount of health and a slightly fast speed. The '''Circuit''' has one ability, where on death, it speeds up nearby enemies by 25% with no limit, similar to the [[Speedy King (Legacy)|Speedy King]].

The '''Circuit''' could be spawned by the [[Nuclear Monster]]. This means it could also appear in [[Oops! All slimes!]], if spawned by the [[Nuclear Monster]]. It also could be spawned by the [[Mystery]], Wave 27 onwards.

==Appearance==
The '''Circuit''' has glowing bright blue skin and a dark blue torso and legs. It has an energy pack on its back with an antenna that emits yellow sparks and six large batteries connected to it. It has a glowing desaturated yellow lightning bolt on its chest and desaturated yellow veins can be seen on its body. It also emits blue pulses and yellow particles from its torso and its head twitches whenever it runs.

It plays a thunder strike sound and visual on death.

==Strategy==
*High DPS towers, such as the [[Ranger]], [[Golden Minigunner]], [[Accelerator]] or [[Engineer]] are recommended to take down the '''Circuit'''.
**The [[Commander]] and [[DJ Booth]] should be used to boost the firerate and range of these towers.
*Slowing towers, such as the [[Electroshocker]], [[DJ Booth]] and [[Warden]], may be useful against the '''Circuit''' and enemies that were sped up by it.
**As the '''Circuit''' has the stun immunity, the [[Electroshocker]] and [[Warden]] will only slow it down instead of stopping it completely while knockback towers like the [[Brawler]] will not knock it back.
**As it has [[Freeze Immunity]], freezing towers cannot be used on it, though they can still be used on enemies boosted by it, as long as they are not [[Freeze Immunity|Freeze Immune]] themselves.
**Be aware that if an enemy gets boosted by other '''Circuits''', the freeze will be negated. This also applies to other enemies being boosted by the '''Circuit'''.
