Slow

Description
[edit]The Slow is an enemy that appears in the Easy, Casual, Challenge Trials, Legacy Molten, Intermediate, Basic Arena PVP and Molten Arena PVP modes, as well as the tutorial and first chapters of Story mode. As the name of it suggests, it is a slow, but relatively strong enemy that requires tower upgrades to be countered.
The Slow also has a chance to be spawned by the Mystery upon its death in the Legacy Molten mode. The Grave Digger had a chance to spawn the Slow with its Triumphing Sheol ability in Easy mode. The Slow was also formerly spawned by the Necromancer before its replacement. In The Heights, the Slow could have been spawned by the Swordmaster or from the Tombstone when it was destroyed.
It also appeared as parts of the SFOTH Event, Metaverse Champions Event, The Classic Event and The Takeover Event.
Appearance
[edit]Strategy
[edit]- Most towers can deal with the Slow effectively.
- Any tower catered towards early game, like the Soldier, Assassin, Brawler, Cowboy, Militant or Cowboy is recommended.
- It is unnecessary to try to get stronger, more expensive towers like the Minigunner solely to deal with Slows, as cheaper options fare well against them already.
- Towers that can deal damage to multiple enemies are especially effective against Slows as they spawn in hordes. Such towers include the Demoman, Electroshocker, Pyromancer and Shotgunner.
- While not recommended if you do not have high base health, it is an option to avoid defending against the first few waves of Slows and simply let them reach the exit, as their low health makes it unlikely to make you lose.

[edit]Trivia
[edit]- The original appearance of the Slow was based on the Slow from Tower Battles.
- This enemy was briefly given an animation where it ran similar to the second version of the Speedy after the MEGA Update.
