Those aren't regular presents they're throwing, they'll buff other enemies!"

―Commander dialogue on Wave 25 (Formerly, Fallen)

Description

The Fallen Jester is a support enemy that appears in Fallen mode and also appears in The Takeover Event. It has the same speed as the Fallen Squire but it has much higher health than it. It has one ability, Devious Tricks, which makes it throw a gift on the path which buffs enemies. This creates an explosion with an explosion radius of 5. This can apply either the Bloated or Blessed attributes. The Fallen Jester cannot buff itself, other Fallen Jesters or Boss enemies.

The Fallen Jester will not target other Fallen Jesters, itself, the Fallen Angel, Fallen Seraph, Warden and the Fallen King, its Awakened Fallen King form included. This, however, does not mean they cannot receive attributes from it. As long as they are not a Fallen Jester or a Boss, they can still receive them, just indirectly.

Logbook Description

"Fallen Jesters entertained the royal court, their performances bringing joy even as hope vanished along with the magic. They put on spectacular shows and gave gifts unlike anything anyone had seen, yet they could never change the despair seen in the faces of their audience. The day the Queen died, as did their laughter. The curse turned their gifts into tainted presents that strengthen their army. Their performances continue, but no one is there to watch."

Appearance

The Fallen Jester wears a black and blue jester outfit and shoes, a brown belt and black and grey comedy mask. It has black gloves with grey spiked arm-bands. It has black horns on its shoulders. It holds a black and blue present which it uses to buff enemies with.

It has a death animation where it falls over on its back, its present falling on its face in the process.

Strategy

• The Fallen Jester should be killed as soon as possible. While it is not dangerous on its own, its ability to buff other enemies can make it very dangerous.
  • DPS towers like the Engineer, Turret, Ranger or Minigunner can be used to kill it.
  • Stalling towers like the Tesla or Freezer can be used to slow down the Fallen Jester.
• The Gatling Gun is extremely useful against this enemy, as you can manually shoot at it first as well as enemies nearby when using FPS mode to kill it before it uses its Devious Tricks ability. However, if it is low level, it might not be able to kill the Fallen Jester fast enough.
• On its debut wave, three Fallen Giants appear alongside it. This combination is highly dangerous because the Fallen Jester can apply Bloated and Blessed to them, giving them a total of 8,000 health with 100% defense each and a combined total of 24,000 health.
  • It is reccommended to first set some of your towers to Last so they can directly target the Fallen Jester, as it spawns behind the Fallen Giants. If it uses its Devious Tricks ability on them, set your Last targeting towers to Weakest and keep the rest of your towers attacking the buffed Fallen Giants.
  • The Saboteur can also be used to force your towers to target it.
• Defense melting towers such as the Pyromancer and Toxic Gunner are extremely beneficial in lowering the high 100% defense applied by the Fallen Jester to enemies from the Blessed status effect, in addition to enemies that already have defense applied to them by default, added with the 100% defense mechanism.
  • Additionally, splash damage towers like the Mortar and Rocketeer are effective as they fully ignore defense.
