―Beginning of Wave 51

Description

The Controlled appeared to be a normal enemy with average speed and low health for its debut. However, it could turn very deadly due to the fact that it was able to spawn a Shrike Crystal upon its death, which stunned towers near it. This allowed other enemies to pass through, without being attacked by towers, creating a dangerous situation.

Appearance

The Controlled was faceless, aside from a drooling zombie mouth. It wore a headcrab hat and a grey bandanna. The Controlled had grey diamond-plated wristbands and leg-bands. Its skin was grey, and it had a black pebble torso and legs.

Strategy

• Do not underestimate the Controlled, as it can easily overwhelm you due to its ability to spawn a Shrike Crystal.
• The Controlled spawn in hordes, so while it appears that towers that deal splash damage may be useful, they can lead to your downfall.
  • This is because the Controlleds can spawn multiple Shrike Crystals, which are immune to splash damage, meaning that your towers can be stunned for a while, if you rely on such towers.
  • Additionally, the range of other towers may not be able to reach these Shrike Crystals, if their range is short (like the Gladiator).
• Against the Controlled, high DPS towers, such as the Minigunner, are very useful.
  • Additionally, the Crooks from the Crook Boss are also useful.

Trivia

• The Controlled seemed to be a reference to the Shrike from the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
• The Controlled's design was most likely inspired from the Headcrab Zombie from the Half-Life series.
