Description

The Hidden Boss is a large and fast boss that appears in Easy and Molten modes. It also appeared in The Classic Event. It is faster than the Molten. It has more health than the Necromancer, but less health than the Slow Boss. Towers must have hidden detection to target the Hidden Boss.

The Hidden Boss can be spawned from the Mystery Boss upon its death in the Easy and Molten modes.

The Hidden Boss was replaced by the Pro Streamer in Headache Headquarters.

Strategy

• While some splash damage towers like the Paintballer and Mortar cannot target Hidden Bosses, they can hit them through splash damage, if another detectable enemy is near the Hidden Boss.
  • This is very useful for towers which have a large explosion range, such as the Mortar.
  • The Rocketeer can be effective against the Hidden Boss because of its hidden detection and high DPS.
• The Minigunner is an obvious candidate for defeating the Hidden Boss due to their high DPS and their hidden detection coming at a reasonable cost.
  • Towers like the Crook Boss, Soldier, Accelerator, Militant or Gladiator are also quite useful due to their hidden detection and high DPS.
• A Level 4+ Ace Pilot can provide hidden detection to towers that do not have it, making towers such as the Ranger and Mortar effective counters against the Hidden Boss.
  • The tower must be in the range of the Ace Pilot's runway for them to receive hidden detection.
• You can use the Frost Blaster, Freezer and Warden to slow the Hidden Boss down.
  • You cannot use the Toxic Gunner as they do not have hidden detection.
    • While Sledger and Electroshocker do not have hidden detection, they can still indirectly hit the Hidden Boss if a detectable enemy is near it, though this should not be relied on as its quite inconsistent.
  • Due to the Hidden Boss's size, it can only be stunned by the Warden or frozen for a shorter length of time compared to average-sized enemies.
