Description

The Strong was a stronger variant of the Slow that appeared in Easy mode. It had more health than the Slow and had the same speed as the Normal Boss. It did not appear naturally, rather it could only be spawned by the Grave Digger.

The Strong could be spawned by the Mystery upon its death in Easy mode. They could have also been spawned by the Necromancer 2 when it was in the game.

Strategy

• Despite its name, beginner towers such as the Scout, Sniper and Soldier are enough to take down the Strong.
  • Cheap towers with decent DPS, like the Ace Pilot, Militant or Crook Boss can be very effective against the Strong as well.
• Due to its slow walk speed, the Gladiator and Shotgunner can be very effective against the Strong with their ability to hit multiple enemies at once.
• High DPS towers, such as the Turret, Accelerator and Minigunner, perform admirably against the Strong.
• Splash damage towers, such as the Demoman and Rocketeer, are useful against the Strong as it normally spawns in hordes.
  • Later on, the Rocketeer and Mortar will have enough splash damage to kill Strongs in one shot.

Trivia

• After Easy got reworked on the 24th of February 2024, the Strong was mostly replaced by the Armored. However, it could still appear if summoned by the Grave Digger, as its summons were not updated.
  • This would later change on 19th of July 2024, alongside the Mystery and Mystery Boss being replaced or removed. Interestingly, it was not replaced by the Armored, it was instead removed completely.
  • Despite its removal, it can still appear in Kill ENEMY! quests.
