Description

The Controlled appeared to be a normal enemy with average speed and low health for its debut. However, it could turn very deadly as 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 very dangerous situation.

Appearance

The Controlled was faceless, aside from a drooling zombie mouth. It had a headcrab on its head 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

• You should not underestimate the Controlled, as it can easily overwhelm your towers due to its ability to spawn Shrike Crystals.
• The Controlled spawn in hordes, but 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 your towers may get stunned for a while, if you rely on such towers.
  • Additionally, short range towers like the Gladiator may not be able to reach the Shrike Crystals.
• Against the Controlled, high DPS towers, such as the Minigunner, are very effective.
  • Additionally, the Crooks from the Crook Boss are also useful, but you should not rely on them.
