__TOC__
==Description==
The '''Glitch''' is an [[Enemies|enemy]] with extremely high speed, being the fastest enemy in Challenges. While it has relatively low health for its debut, its high speed makes it a very dangerous threat. It also has [[Stun Immunity]], which prevents it from being completely stopped by the [[Warden]] and [[Electroshocker]], only being slowed down instead and makes it immune to knockback.

The '''Glitch''' can be spawned by the [[Mystery]] upon its death in [[Legacy Fallen Mode|Legacy Fallen]] mode from Wave 27 onwards only.

==Appearance==
The '''Glitch''' is a volatile multi-colored enemy with no face. It has a white head, neon orange torso, blue right arm, magenta left arm, salmon right leg, and cyan left leg, all of which are either translucent or glowing. Glitched particles of various colors are emitted whenever the '''Glitch''' runs. It also makes a brief beeping sound upon death.

==Strategy==
*High DPS towers like the [[Minigunner]], [[Golden Soldier]], [[Turret]] or [[Golden Minigunner]] can be quite effective against the '''Glitch'''.
**Using the [[Commander]] to boost their firerate can be very helpful against this enemy.
**Using the [[DJ Booth]] to boost the range of your towers can also be very helpful, as the '''Glitch''' can easily run past towers like the [[Accelerator]] or [[Minigunner]] due to their charge up time and range.
*Using towers that can slow down the '''Glitch''' is highly recommended.
**Do note that the '''Glitch''' has [[Stun Immunity]], which makes stunning towers like the [[Electroshocker]] only slow down the '''Glitch''' instead of completely stopping it and prevents it from being knocked back.
**The [[Sledger]] is not recommended against this enemy, as the '''Glitch''' can easily avoid being hit by the [[Sledger]] because of its slow firerate and low range. However, multiple [[Sledger]]s can still be effective against this.
*Because of the '''Glitch's''' high speed, towers with slow firerate and short range, such as the [[Shotgunner]], [[Demoman]] and [[Gladiator]], will perform poorly against these enemies.
**A group of Level 5 [[Gladiator]]s can perform well against the '''Glitch'''.
**Projectile based towers, like the [[Mortar]] or [[Demoman]], can also miss the '''Glitch''' due to its speed.
*Area of effect towers, such as the [[Executioner]], [[Rocketeer]] or [[Mortar]] can be used against '''Glitches''', as they mostly spawn in groups.
*The [[Military Base]]'s [[Tank (Unit)|Tank]] and [[Railgun Tank]], as well as the [[Mercenary Base]]'s [[Riot Guard]] can absorb damage from damaged '''Glitches''' somewhat well.
**However, do not rely solely on this as a horde of '''Glitches''' can wipe through all of your units.
