Elite Phantom

- You can't see them, but your team can. These Phantoms are drawing in whatever's around them. They're like their own miniature black hole. Don't get too close.
- ―Professor V on Wave 23 (Hardcore)
Description
The Elite Phantom is a Hidden enemy that appears in Hardcore and Voidcore modes. It also appeared in the Halloween 2026 Live Events. It is a stronger version of the Phantom, having higher health and faster speed than it. As it is a Hidden enemy, towers need hidden detection to target it.
Logbook Description
"The Elite Phantom has existed long enough to draw in and crush countless others within its core that it has enhanced its natural abilities. The pull around them is stronger, to the point that standing next to one is a sure-fire way to be dragged into an unfortunate end. The sound around them also seems to distort, but it is still not known why."
Appearance
The Elite Phantom is a translucent ghost with a purple body. In place of its legs, it has a tail, allowing it to float above the path. It wears a purple shirt with a hood, which has three purple crystals on top.
Strategy
