Description

The Slow King is a high health enemy that appears in Hardcore and Voidcore modes. It has high health and Shield Health, alongside a high amount of Defense. When it spawns in, it has a forcefield around itself which grants it 60% Defense. Once all of its Shield Health is depleted, the forcefield will disappear, removing the Defense, and if the Slow King has it, the Freeze Immunity and Aggro it has.

Logbook Description

"Where a realm falls, its king is not always quick enough to fall with it. The Slow King sat in the ruins of their realm after trying to save their people. As the Void bloomed across the landscape and everything they had built came crumbling down, the Slow King was the last to accept defeat. It was not until they were recognized by Void Caster that they could continue on beside their people, who were now Souls for the Void."

Appearance

The Slow King has a white body with a large hole in its face. It wears a purple king's robe, black pants, gold armbands, a purple cape, a gold crown and a glowing purple necklace. When initially spawning in, it has a purple forcefield around it which disappears when its Shield Health is depleted.

Strategy

• High DPS towers like the Juggernaut, Turret, Engineer, Accelerator or Kingpin can be used against this.
• Splash damage towers like the Mortar, Rocketeer and Golden Demoman ignore the Slow King's Defense, allowing them to take out its shield much earlier, while also handling the hordes they often appear in.
  • High DPS towers are recommended against the Slow King once its shield is broken. Additionally, it also loses its Freeze Immunity, though it retains its Stun Immunity.
• Towers that melt Defense such as the Pyromancer and Golden Pyromancer can greatly weaken groups of Slow Kings.
