Description

The Molten is a lava-themed enemy that appears in Legacy Molten, Molten and Molten Arena PVP modes. In Molten Arena PVP, it does not appear naturally and can only be sent by a player. It also appears in The Takeover Event. It has a decent amount of health and a high defense, though it has above average speed, being slightly faster than the Elite Abnormal. It also has Burn Immunity, meaning it cannot be set on fire, and Corpse, making it leave a Corpse on death.

It can be spawned from the Mystery upon its death, wave 21 onwards in Legacy Molten mode only. It could also be spawned by the Molten Boss, Molten mode only.

Strategy

• Towers with decent DPS like the Militant, Cowboy, Golden Scout or Military Base can mow down large hordes of Moltens.
  • Late-game DPS towers like the Minigunner or Crook Boss can also be used.
• Splash damage towers like the Pursuit, Mortar or Rocketeer can be useful here, as they most often spawn in hordes.
  • These towers are also capable of bypassing its Defense.
• The Trapper can be quite useful at killing Moltens, due to its traps bypassing Defense.
• The Military Base's units can easily soak up several collisions with Moltens, due to their collision damage bypassing its Defense.
• Some stalling towers like the Electroshocker, Freezer or Sledger can be used to kill the Moltens, slow them down and in some cases drop their defense.
• While towers that deal fire damage like the Pyromancer or Trapper cannot burn the Molten, they can still deal non-burn damage to it.
  • They cannot, however, drop their defense, making their defense dropping useless against the Molten.

Trivia

• When the Super Mystery and the Uber Mystery were in the game, they had a chance of spawning the Molten upon their death in Beginner's, Golden and Fallen modes.
• This enemy was originally able to heal itself, but this ability has since been removed.
  • The Lava, a similar-looking enemy, retains the ability to heal.
• The third and fourth appearance of the Molten looked similar to the current appearance of the Lava from Tower Battles.
