__TOC__
==Description==
The '''Soul Boss''' was an [[Enemies|enemy]] that cannot be attacked by towers without hidden detection. It only appeared in [[Hardcore Mode|Hardcore]] mode. Currently, it can only be spawned in [[Sandbox Mode|Sandbox]] mode if the player has the Sandbox Plus+ [[Gamepasses|gamepass]]. It has mediocre health for its debut and has average speed, about the same speed as the [[Mystery Boss]]. Additionally, it is a [[Ghost (Attribute)|Ghost]] enemy, meaning that [[units]] cannot collide with it. Anything that deals unit collision damage also cannot deal damage to it.

The [[Mystery Boss]] can spawn the '''Soul Boss''' upon its death in [[Hardcore Mode|Hardcore]] mode, wave 47 onwards.

==Appearance==
The '''Soul Boss''' is a white translucent [[Enemies|enemy]] with white wings and a yellow halo. It emits light and is faceless.

Due to its transparency, the [[Hidden (Attribute)|Hidden]] attribute applied to it makes it fade completely then fades back into view at regular intervals.

==Strategy==
This strategy refers to the state of the game while the '''Invisible''' still appeared in the [[Hardcore Mode|Hardcore]] mode.
*Towers with high DPS and hidden detection generally fare well against the '''Soul Boss'''. Such towers include the [[Minigunner]], [[Turret]] and [[Accelerator]].
**Do be aware that when using the [[Accelerator]], it may lock onto other enemies, allowing the '''Soul Boss''' to slip past.
*At Level 4+, the [[Ace Pilot]] is able to give towers in its range permanent hidden detection, allowing towers without hidden detection to be able to attack the '''Soul Boss'''.
**This is most useful for the [[Ranger]], because it deals high damage and has high range.
*The [[Mortar]] cannot detect the '''Soul Boss''', but their splash damage can indirectly damage it.
**Another detectable enemy must be near the '''Soul Boss''' for these towers to hit it.
*The [[Electroshocker]] can indirectly slowdown the '''Soul Boss''' as it is average-sized and does not have an energy immunity though another detectable enemy must be nearby.
**The [[Frost Blaster]], [[Freezer]] and [[Jester]] can also be used to slow down the '''Soul Boss''', but the [[Toxic Gunner]], [[Cryomancer]] and [[Sledger]] cannot as they do not have hidden detection.
***However, the [[Sledger]] and [[Cryomancer]] can indirectly freeze it if another detectable enemy is near the '''Soul Boss''', although this should not to be relied on, as it may appear on its own.
*All units that only deal collision damage such as the [[Humvee]] and [[Elf]] are completely useless against this enemy.
**As the [[Trapper]]'s spikes and bear traps deal unit collision damage, they do not deal any damage to the '''Soul Boss'''. If used to kill the '''Soul Boss''', the [[Trapper]] should be set to place down landmines, as these deal explosion and burn damage.
