Description

The Fallen Rusher was an extremely fast enemy that only appeared in Hardcore mode. Currently, it can only be spawned in Sandbox mode if the player has the Sandbox Plus+ gamepass. Although it has low health, it holds a shield and moves extremely fast, being faster than every enemy currently in the game. This makes it a very dangerous threat if you do not have the right towers. It will lose its shield when all of its shield health has depleted, making it run at a fast pace.

Appearance

The Fallen Rusher's appearance is similar to the Rusher enemy from Polluted Wasteland and Legacy Fallen. It has black reflective skin and granite, dark turquoise torso and legs. It wears a mask with purple neon parts, a chestplate with purple parts, and black and neon purple armbands. It also has black boots, gloves and knee-pads. While running, it holds up a shield in front of it with its left arm.

Strategy

This strategy refers to the state of the game while the Invisible still appeared in the Hardcore mode.

• Destroy the Fallen Rusher's shield to slow it down as soon as possible.
• High DPS towers, such as the Minigunner, Turret and Engineer, can deal with these enemies quickly.
  • The Commander can boost the firerate of towers, making it easier to deal with Fallen Rushers.
  • The Accelerator is also recommended, however be aware that the Fallen Rusher may outrun its charge-up time if placed in a bad spot.
• Military Base vehicles, Elf Camp's units and Crook Boss minions can be useful against the Fallen Rusher if it gets past your towers.
• The Toxic Gunner can be useful to slow down these enemies to a slower and more manageable speed for a few seconds.
• As they have average size, the Electroshocker, Frost Blaster and Freezer can stop the Fallen Rusher.
  • The Sledger is generally not recommended against this, as the Fallen Rusher can easily avoid being hit by it due to its slow firerate and low range.
• A Level 5 Golden Pyromancer can easily break the shields of a horde of Fallen Rushers.

Trivia

• The Fallen Rusher is the fallen version of the Rusher, but significantly weaker.
• A new version of the Fallen Rusher was added to Fallen Mode.
• This is the second fastest enemy in the game when it has its shield, with the Imposter being faster.
  • The speed of the Fallen Rusher is nearly the same as the player walk speed, having a speed of 15 while the player has a speed of 16.
• The Fallen Rusher uses a similar shield to the legacy Fallen King.
• The Fallen Rusher used a regular walking animation when it did not have its shield during Hardcore Testing BETA.
  • It now uses a similar animation to the Fallen when it loses its shield.
