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

―Commander dialogue on Wave 5 (Formerly, 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 could have been 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.
