Description

The Giant Boss is a slow and large enemy with a large health and defense pool that appears in Intermediate mode, Challenge Trials and the Sandbox exclusive Legacy Fallen mode. It could also appear in The Takeover Event if summoned by Patient Zero. It moves at a slower speed compared to the Necromancer, but can easily pass through weak defenses due to its high health. It has Stun Immunity and Freeze Immunity making it harder to stall.

It can be spawned from the Mystery Boss upon its death in the Hardcore mode, Legacy Fallen mode and Golden mode.

Appearance

The Giant Boss is a large, hulking entity with green and grey skin. It has multiple green cracks in its body. It wears a torn, off-brown coat, brown gloves and has strange tubing and devices on its head. Its skull is partially exposed and it has a knife on its back.

The current version of the Giant Boss has a bronze skin color with a diagonal scar on its face. It has a brown granite torso, sleeves and legs, along with a brownish-black slate glove on its left arm, with a brown granite cuff on it. Additionally, it has dark grey chains wrapped around both of its arms. A knife is embedded into its back, with multiple spikes emerging from the location, as well as more emerging from the front of the torso. It emits an occasional bronze particle as well. Its head is slightly tilted downwards and has a twisted left leg.

The Enemies Beta version of the Giant Boss is a large humanoid with a waist, lower arms and lower legs in its rig. It has a yellowish-green skin color, and a dark brown torso, waist and legs, all coated in dirt. It has a knife impaled on its back, with red blood particles being emitted from the location. It also has veins on its head and arms and wears black armbands with white spikes on them.

The first version of the Giant Boss is quite similar to the current version. Unlike the current version, its torso, sleeves and legs were a slightly lighter shade of bronze. It also had no gloves nor chains on it. It was faceless and also had rectangular rebar emerging from its back. A knife also appeared to be stabbed into the back of the Giant Boss. Its head was slightly tilted downwards and it had a twisted left leg for its second animation.

Strategy

  • When dealing with the Giant Boss when it debuts, high DPS towers are best fit. Such towers include the Pursuit, Accelerator, Minigunner, Crook Boss and Ranger.
    • The Commander should be used to further boost the firerate of these towers.
    • Do note that the Accelerator will remain locked onto the Giant Boss until it is defeated or leaves its range, letting other enemies get past. Other towers should be placed to deal with these enemies when using the Accelerator.
    • The Military Base's Tank and Railgun Tank are quite strong against the Giant Boss, as their collision and splash damage ignore the Giant Boss's defense.
      • Do note that their ranged gun damage is still affected by defense.
  • It is not generally recommended to skip Wave 28 on Intermediate mode until the Giant Boss is defeated. Otherwise, the enemies from the following wave may overcome your towers while they are still trying to deal with the Giant Boss, with the Giant Boss acting as a meat shield.
    • Compared to its arrival in Hardcore mode, it has significantly less health, but appears more oftenly. Because of this, not only are high DPS towers a good option, but AOE towers like the Mortar and Rocketeer can deal with hordes of Giant Bosses that appear later on.
  • Multiple towers can take advantage of the Giant Boss slow speed.
    • Short-ranged towers like the Gladiator are able to get many more hits in, making them more effective.
    • The Military Base and Crook Boss' units will have more time to shoot at the Giant Boss before colliding into it.
  • Most slowing towers are on the table when it comes to slowing the Giant Boss down. The Cryomancer, Frost Blaster and Electroshocker are most effective against the Giant Boss's tendency to spawn in hordes and against singular Giant Bosses in Hardcore mode. The same goes for Intermediate mode, though only its singular appearance rather than its horde tendency.
    • Do note that the Giant Boss debuts as a boss on Wave 28 in Intermediate mode, making it immune to all forms of stuns.
    • Furthermore, towers that can knockback enemies, such as the Brawler, cannot knock it back.
    • Do note that the Giant Boss' large size will reduce the slowing capabilities of freezing towers and the Warden.
  • The Giant Boss' Defense can be reduced by defense dropping towers like the Pyromancer and Freezer.
