"Quick enemies incoming!
They may be faster, but cliff units can easily stop them dead in their tracks."

―Commander dialogue on Wave 5 (Nuclear)

Description

The Wasterunner, originally known as the Mutated Speedy, is a fast enemy that appears in Polluted Wasteland II. It has high health and a fast speed. The Wasterunner replaces the Quick in Polluted Wasteland II.

The Wasterunner can be spawned by the Mystery upon its death in Polluted Wasteland II.

Appearance

The Wasterunner has a dark teal skin color, with a dark navy torso and legs. Violet veins can be seen on its head and arms. It emits light green particles and is faceless.

Strategy

• Multiple Golden Scouts or Gladiators can easily take out this enemy.
  • The Gladiator may be less effective due to its short range paired with this enemy's fast speed.
• Slowing towers, such as the Freezer and Electroshocker, may be useful at slowing down the Wasterunner, due to its fast speed.
• Towers that can damage multiple enemies, such as the Golden Pyromancer and the Executioner, fare well against this enemy as it spawns in hordes.
• Due to its fast speed, short-ranged towers such as the Shotgunner, Sledger, Warden and Gladiator, are less effective against this enemy.
