__TOC__
==Description==
The '''Templar''' was a high health [[Enemies|enemy]] which appears in the [[Sandbox Mode|Sandbox]] mode exclusive [[Legacy Fallen Mode|Legacy Fallen]] mode. It wields a minigun which is used to fire at towers randomly, which stuns them for a short period of time. It has [[defense]], meaning that most forms of damage against the '''Templar''' is decreased. It also has 2,000 [[Shield Health]].

==Appearance==
The '''Templar''' appears to be a futuristic warrior, with shiny metal armor and a laser minigun which glows neon red. It wears black and light grey armor and has green skin. It also wears black gloves. It wears a helmet with horns, with its eyes covered with a red strobe of light. It is slightly larger than the average enemy.

The '''Templar''' has a death animation, where it will drop its laser minigun and slowly fall backwards.

==Strategy==
*Like all other tanky enemies, high DPS towers like the [[Accelerator]] or [[Minigunner]] should be used to take the '''Templar''' down.
**The [[Commander]] should be used to boost the firerate of these towers.
**The [[Engineer]] is recommended, as its sentries will continue firing even when the [[Engineer]] is stunned by the '''Templar's''' ''Minigun'' ability.
**The [[Ranger]] and [[Pursuit]] cannot be stunned by the '''Templar's''' ''Minigun'' ability.
**The [[Military Base]]'s [[units]] deal full collision damage to the '''Templar''', regardless of its defense, making them quite useful.
***Do note that their ranged damage is still decreased.
*It is recommended to place your towers away from the path to avoid getting stunned by the '''Templar's''' ''Minigun'' ability.
*It may be viable to have a cheap distraction tower, like a Level 0 [[Commander]], to distract the '''Templar's''' ''Minigun'' from your main offensive towers.
*When the '''Templar''' spawns, it will not use its ''Minigun'' ability for a few seconds. Use this period of time to defeat the '''Templar''' before it can stun any towers.
*The [[Medic]] can be used to cleanse towers of the '''Templar's''' stun with its ''Revive'' ability.
**Do note that this will be ineffective while the '''Templar''' is still firing its ''Minigun'', as the towers will be continuously stunned until the ability is over.
*The [[Gladiator]]'s stun blocking is ineffective against the '''Templar''', as the first stun will be blocked, but not any subsequent stuns from the ''Minigun's'' continuous stream of bullets.
*Slowing towers like the [[Cryomancer]], [[Electroshocker]], [[Warden]] or [[Freezer]] can be used to slow down the '''Templar'''.
**However, because of its large size, freezing towers and the [[Warden]] will slow it down for a shorter amount of time.
**Additionally, stunning towers like the [[Electroshocker]] can only slow it down instead of stunning it because of its [[Stun Immunity]].
**Do note that the '''Templar''' will not stop using its ''Minigun'' ability when frozen or stunned.
*Defense dropping towers like the [[Pyromancer]], [[Jester]] or [[Freezer]] can help to reduce the '''Templar's''' defense.

==Trivia==
*The '''Templar''' is likely named after the [[wp:Knights Templar|Knights Templar]], a Catholic medieval chivalric order, most infamously known for the Crusades.
**The '''Templar's''' original helmet is similar to the Great Helm, a helmet that was common in the Christendom of the [[wp:High Middle Ages|Middle Ages]].
*The '''Templar''' was loosely based on the [[w:c:riskofrain2:Clay Templar|Clay Templar]] from ''Risk Of Rain 2''.
*The original '''Templar''' can be seen as a chess piece in the [[Chess Board]] map, parodying the Rook chess piece.
*Prior to the [[Overhaul v1.0|Overhaul Update]], the '''Templar''' was one of the few enemies to gain a [[Shield]]. This [[Shield]] reduced the damage dealt by most towers to 2.
*The minigun it wields is a modified version of the [https://www.roblox.com/catalog/168143042/Galactic-Laser-Gun Galactic Laser Gun] gear from the Roblox catalog.
*While in-game the enemy has light green skin, in promotional renders it has red skin and its arms were covered in grey armor instead of being exposed. This is likely a development oversight.
