__TOC__
==Description==
The '''Fallen Rusher''' was an extremely fast [[Enemies|enemy]] that only appeared in [[Hardcore Mode|Hardcore]] mode. Currently, it can only be spawned in [[Sandbox Mode|Sandbox]] mode if the player has the Sandbox Plus+ [[Gamepasses|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 (Polluted Wasteland)|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|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.

*This is the second fastest enemy in the game when it has its shield, with the [[Imposter]] being faster.

*The '''Fallen Rusher''' uses a similar shield to the legacy [[Fallen King (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.
