~ Quote before the Boss3 first appears on Wave 31 |
The Boss3 is a very fast enemy with a high health of 3,000. It first appears at Wave 31. In Versus mode, it can be sent offensively for $3,200.
Appearance[]
The Boss3 appears to have golden arms, a golden head, and wears a golden top hat that is slightly tilted. It adorns a golden tuxedo with a golden bowtie, although before the revamp update Boss3 had a yellowish gold marble body with a top hat slightly tipped back with gold decorations.
Strategy[]
Defensive[]
- Boss3 can be defeated with multiple level 5 Railgunners supported with either Flamethrowers or Barracks and Commanders.
- Multiple level 5 Tubers can elliminate a horde of Boss3s. However, they are generally outclassed by Aviators in most maps.
- Many level 5 Commandos can counter rushes of Boss3s due to their high DPS.
- Flamethrowers, and possibly Hallowboomers are very effective as they can slow them down, even though they do little damage by themselves, use this as an opportunity to kill the Boss3s with the previously mentioned tactics.
- Level 5 Graveyards can effectively eliminate hordes of Boss3 due to the Graveyard Jack's high health.
Offensive[]
- On medium sized maps, Boss3 rush can sometimes overwhelm Zeds.
- In most cases, Boss3 rush can be easily countered. It is only recommended to use if the opponent is already struggling.
Trivia[]
- Boss3 was added when the game was released.
- The Boss3 is the second fastest enemy in the game, tied with Speedy and behind Lightning and Golden Zombie.
- There is a glitch that allows Boss3 to have a higher than normal amount of health (normally around 10,000).
- Before the July Mega Update, the Boss3 was able to fling around the map when it danced to the DJ's Apocalypse Rave ability. It would then return to its initial position once it has stopped dancing.
- On the 5th level of the Industrial Farm skin, a company by the name of "Boss3 Industries" can be seen labeling such. This suggests that Boss3 is either a huge businessman, or is made in a factory.
