Description

The Enigma was an enemy that only appeared in Containment as part of the Hexscape Event. It had decent health and speed. It turned into a random enemy upon death, which could spawn with a random attribute.

Appearance

The Enigma had a black body with a glowing pink question mark on its torso and a single pink glowing eye. It emitted black and purple mist when killed.

Enemies Summoned

The Enigma could summon three enemies, that being the Hex Corpse with a 25% chance, Hex Revenant with a 25% chance and Hex Wraith with a 50% chance. However, each one could spawn with a random attribute, with these being:

• None (18.18% chance)
• Nimble (27.27% chance)
• Bloated (9.09% chance)
• Health Regen (18.18% chance)
• Aggro (9.09% chance)
• Hidden (18.18% chance)

Strategy

• Towers with decent DPS, such as the Ranger, Engineer, Accelerator or Golden Minigunner can be quite effective against it.
• The Enigma is a summoner enemy, which can summon enemies with various attributes.
  • It can summon Hidden enemies, meaning that hidden detection or towers that can damage them indirectly are needed to deal with this.
  • It can summon Aggro enemies, making all your towers target them instead of the enemy they were targeting before.
    • Towers that can damage multiple enemies at once, such as the Pyromancer or Electroshocker can be useful in such cases.
    • Units will target the Aggro enemy if they have a ranged attack, however, they can still be used to collide with enemies that are in front of it.
