__TOC__
==Description==
The '''Mega Slow''' was a large and tough [[Enemies|enemy]] which only appeared on [[Hardcore Mode|Hardcore]] mode. Currently, it can only be spawned in [[Sandbox Mode|Sandbox]] mode if the player has the Sandbox Plus+ [[Gamepasses|gamepass]]. While it had slightly slow speed, it had very high health for its debut. This makes it a very dangerous threat. Additionally, it has 15% defense, reducing the effectiveness of some towers. It also has [[Stun Immunity]], which makes the [[Electroshocker]] and [[Warden]] only slow it down and makes it immune to knockback.

The '''Mega Slow''' can be spawned by the [[Void Reaver (Legacy)|Void Reaver]] and [[Grave Digger (Legacy)|Grave Digger]], in [[Hardcore Mode|Hardcore]] mode only. The [[Mystery Boss]] can also spawn the '''Mega Slow''' upon its death in [[Hardcore Mode|Hardcore]] mode.

==Appearance==
{{Tabber
|Current (Version 1 & 3)
|The first and current '''Mega Slow''' is a large enemy. It is slightly smaller than the [[Giant Boss]]. It has a reflective green skin color and is faceless. It has tumors on its left arm and head. Its torso, sleeves and legs are granite black. It also has a metal armband on its right arm and has hooks growing on both of its shoulders. It also has a small black axe stabbed into its back. It walks slightly hunchbacked and has a twisted left leg.
|Version 2
|The second '''Mega Slow''' was similar to its current version except it had only one hook on its shoulder.

==Strategy==
*Because of the '''Mega Slow's''' early appearance and the increased prices of towers and upgrades in [[Hardcore Mode|Hardcore]] mode, it may be the downfall of most players if they are unprepared for it.
**For this reason, [[Farm]]s are heavily recommended so that you will be able to afford more expensive upgrades sooner.
***Depending on the length of the map, most players can continue farming until the '''Mega Slow''' reaches the main defense, assuming it is set up in the back.
**Additionally, if multiple [[Lead Boss]]es were spawned from [[Mystery|Mysteries]] on previous waves, the '''Mega Slow's''' debut can easily lead to a defeat on a shorter map.
***If you are playing on a map with the [[Enemies Beta]] modifier, [[Lead Boss]]es will be less of a problem on their own, as [[Mystery|Mysteries]] are replaced by [[Breaker2]]s.
*High DPS towers, such as a couple Level 2 [[Golden Minigunner]]s, [[Accelerator]]s or [[Turret]]s, are highly recommended against the '''Mega Slow'''.
**If you are using [[Turret]] to take down the '''Mega Slow''', extra towers may be required depending on the map as it has less DPS than [[Accelerator]].
*Level 3 [[Golden Scout]] and Level 2 [[Golden Soldier]] spam are effective against the '''Mega Slow''' if there are enough of them, although towers with lead detection, such as the [[Golden Pyromancer]] or [[Mortar]], will also be needed to deal with the [[Lead Boss]]es that spawn before the '''Mega Slow'''.
*The [[Military Base]]'s [[Tank (Unit)|Tank]]s and [[Humvee 3]]s can be effective against this enemy, as they deal full collision damage to defense enemies. Once the '''Mega Slow''' begins to spawn in hordes, however, their effectiveness is reduced.
*A Level 4 [[Golden Scout]] can easily take down the '''Mega Slow''' for a relatively cheap price.
*You can use slowing towers, such as the [[Toxic Gunner]], [[Electroshocker]], [[Warden]] or [[Sledger]] to slow this enemy down.
**As the '''Mega Slow''' has the [[Stun Immunity]], stunning towers like the [[Electroshocker]] will only slow it down instead of completely stopping it. Additionally, it prevents it from being knocked back.
**Freezing towers and the [[Warden]] can only slow it down for a shorter period of time compared to an average-sized enemy, due to its large size.
**The [[Electroshocker]], [[Freezer]], [[Cryomancer]] and [[Frost Blaster]] can also remove the '''Mega Slow's''' defense, allowing your towers to deal more damage.
***This can stack, so the [[Freezer]]/[[Frost Blaster]]/[[Cryomancer]] and [[Electroshocker]] can together remove up to 53% of its defense.
***The [[Pyromancer]] can also remove 50% of '''Mega Slow's''' defense, allowing your towers to deal even more damage.
***Poison defense dropping towers like the [[Toxic Gunner]] can also drop 50% of its defense.

==Trivia==
*The appearance of the '''Mega Slow''' is similar to the old design of the [[w:c:roblox-tower-battles:Boss4|Boss4]] from ''Tower Battles''.
*Weirdly, the health of the '''Mega Slow''' was increased in [[MEGA Servers]], despite it not being able to spawn in a [[MEGA Servers|MEGA Server]] without admin commands.
*When the '''Mega Slow''' was frozen by the [[Sledger]] prior to the 23rd of March 2022, it had a chance to create a huge wall of ice.
**This was due to one of its hooks being able to fall off of itself and fall far below the map, and the ice would attempt to encompass the hook.
