Description

The Hex's Maw is the third boss that appears in The Nightmare Realm and Containment as part of the Hexscape Event. It has the Stun Immunity, making it immune to knockback and stuns, being only slowed down by stuns. When it first appears, it is a Boss enemy, granting multiple immunities. It also occasionally spawns as a Bloated, Nimble or Freeze Immune enemy.

It has an ability, Devious Slash, where it swings in a wide arc with its sword, stunning towers for 3.5 seconds and dealing 150 damage to units.

Appearance

The Hex's Maw has light maroon skin. It wears a brown shirt, pants and cape. It also wears red shoes, grey spiked shoulder-pads, chestplate, padding around waist and elbow-pads. On its head, it has a grey metal mask with long horns, which resembles a skull. It holds a large grey sword with its blade split in half, only slightly connected in certain spots.

Strategy

• As the Hex's Maw appears on Wave 16, high DPS towers like the Accelerator, Gatling Gun, Engineer and Minigunner are recommended.
  • Support towers such as the Commander and DJ Booth can be useful at providing boosts to your towers.
    • The Ace Pilot can be used to give such towers hidden detections.
• The Hex's Maw has quite high defense. Because of this, defense dropping towers like the Pyromancer, Freezer or DJ Booth can be useful against it.
• Because of its immunities, it cannot be knocked back, frozen or chilled, and it is only slowed down instead of being stunned by stunning towers.
  • Additionally, when it first spawns it is a Boss enemy, making it immune to even more forms of stalling. The only towers capable of slowing it down as a Boss are stunning towers like the Electroshocker or Trapper.

Trivia

• The Hex's Maw uses the same animations as the Fallen Guardian, and shares the basic functionality of its ability with it.
