Description

The Normal is the first enemy in the Easy, Casual, Intermediate, Basic Arena PVP, Molten Arena PVP and Legacy Molten modes. It also appears in the Tutorial. As the first enemy that spawns, it has fairly mediocre speed and low health.

The Grave Digger used to have a chance to spawn the Normal with its Triumphing Sheol ability on Easy mode. The Normal also has a chance to be spawned by the Mystery upon its death in Legacy Molten mode. In Challenge Maps, both the Mystery and Mystery Boss can summon it upon death. The Normal is also spawned by the Necromancer.

The Normal also appeared in The Heights as part of the SFOTH Event, in Cyber City as part of the Metaverse Champions Event, was part of the The Classic Event and part of The Takeover Event.

Strategy

• Most towers can deal with the Normal effectively.
  • Any tower catered towards early game, like the Scout, Soldier, Militant, Assassin or Cowboy are recommended.
  • It is unnecessary to try to get stronger, more expensive towers like the Minigunner solely to deal with Normals, as it is too expensive to reliably deal with Normals in the early game.
  • Towers that can deal damage to multiple enemies are especially effective against Normals as they spawn in hordes. Such towers include the Demoman, Electroshocker, Pyromancer and Shotgunner.
• It is perfectly fine to avoid defending against the first few waves of Normals and simply let them reach the exit, as their low health makes it unlikely to make you lose.
  • You can use the Medic to heal the base health back, but this is not necessary.
  • As you are not spending money on defenses, you can use the Farm more effectively for the first few waves to get better towers when stronger enemies appear.

Trivia

• Multiple Normals can be seen as chess pieces in the Chess Board map, representing the Pawn chess piece.
• The face used by the fourth version of the Normal is inspired by the face Grunts have in the Newgrounds series Madness Combat.
• This is the enemy that appears in the most Thumbnails and Icons for the game.
• The Normal is the weakest enemy health in the entire game with 2 health, though only can be seen in Tutorial.
  • The Speedy used to be lowest health enemy in the game with only 3 health.
