The Witch is an event zombie that first appeared in Halloween 2018 and then making a secondary appearance in Halloween 2020 and Halloween 2023.
Appearance[]
The Witch has green skin, with black clothing. It wears a witch hat with a purple belt buckle around it. As seen, it rides on a broom that is used for flying.
Returning in Halloween 2020, the Witch received a new look. They wear detailed black clothing with purple sleeves, wear a cape, and have green hair. Apparently, their hat is a bit more purplish compared to their 2018 counterpart.
Witch also returns for Halloween 2023 without any changes.
Description[]
The Witch is the third enemy encountered in the three events. As they spawn, they'll fly with their brooms which makes them fast. They're basically a Speedy but a bit faster and have more health. What's interesting about the Witches is that they can avoid being run over by Zed and Patrols. It's preferred to use rapid-fire towers to take them out.
Tactics[]
- Cost-efficient DPS (Damage Per Second) towers such as Commandos and Aviators can quickly take out the Witch when used in numbers.
- Railgunners can quickly dispatch them with their high damage.
- Level 1 Commandos in early game can help clean up these witches since Railgunners tend to be distracted and impact these zombies which acts as a meat wall for more dangerous zombies such as the Wraith and Wendigo.
- Hallowboomers can slow them down, giving towers enough time to take them out. Flamethrowers are unable to burn this zombie normally, as it is in the air, making their flame unable to target.
Trivia[]
- The Witch is the first zombie to ever fly, along with the Spirit as they were both released on the same day.
- Whenever a Cryo-Gunner freezes the Witch, the entire body is frozen, instead of the torso.
- As of the Halloween 2020, the Witch is the first zombie in Tower Battles to actually have hair.
- Witch is tied with Mummy and Ghost for the enemy that has appeared the most times in an event, with all three having three appearances.
