Description[]
Toxic is a mid-game zombie first appearing on Wave 23. Upon death, it bursts into a toxic fume, causing towers within the burst to be stunned for 5 seconds.
Appearance[]
The Toxic has a neon green head and neon green arms. Its body and legs appear to be corroded, and the Toxic radiates green radioactive gas.
Offensive Abilities[]
- Its generally is not recommended to send toxics as they naturally spawn and your money is much better spent sending hidden bosses, which have much more health,
- However, When timed with stronger enemies, Toxic can be efficient against Plasma Troopers, as people tend to place Plasma on corners to make better use of its short range.
- Once the Toxic dies, it explodes and stuns towers for 5 seconds and deals 100 damage to spawned units, similar to the Vampire from the Halloween 2020 event.
- Cliff Towers, Aviator, and spawned units (i.e. Zed) are immune to the stun.
Tactics[]
- Avoid placing towers near roads, as Toxic will stun the towers if it dies near them.
- Towers with long range, when placed away from the path, can safely deal damage without the risk of being stunned by Toxics.
- A level 4 Aviator is effective when clearing hordes of these zombies, as the damage from the gun and the bombs dropped deal massive damage.
- Spawner Towers such as Zed are completely immune to the stun, allowing them to advance freely.
- Since it deals 100 damage to Spawner Towers, it can destroy an entire squad from Barracks or finish off a low-health unit if it explodes near the spawned tower.
- In later waves, towers that deal splash damage or have high firerate such as Commando and Golden Commando allows it to clear hordes of Toxics, allowing higher-damaging towers to focus on more stronger enemies.
- Slowing Toxics down using towers like Flamethrower or Cyro-Gunner can prevent it from exploding near other towers and stunning them.
Trivia[]
- The Toxic can be considered the non-event counterpart of the Vampire from Halloween 2020 event.
- The Toxic can be spawned from the Mystery2 enemy.
- Toxic is the only non-boss and non-event zombie that can stun towers.
- The Toxic's death sound effect sounds loosely like a higher-pitched version of the default Rpg Maker poison sound effect.
