Get ready for FALLENS!"

Description

The Husk is a fast enemy that appears in Badlands II. It has a decent amount of health and a fast speed, making it a relatively strong enemy. Its modern version always spawns with Corpse, meaning it turns into a Corpse upon death.

The Husk replaces the Fallen in Badlands II.

Appearance

The Husk has a very desaturated green skin color and a dark khaki torso and legs. It has a patch of missing skin on its head, exposing its skull. It also has a hole in its torso, exposing a chest cavity, as well as its ribs. It has dark green veins on its arms and it emits tan particles from its torso.

Strategy

• These enemies are strong and fast, and are quite a step up from the Necromancer. Cheap towers with high DPS are the best way to fend these enemies off.
  • Such towers include Level 3 Minigunners, Level 2 Rangers and Level 3 Golden Crook Bosses.
  • It is recommended to use both Commander and DJ Booth for their respective boosts.
    • The Accelerator can also be used, but is inconsistent due to its long charge-up and cooldown times. Only the Level 5 Accelerator can hold off Husks without additional support.
    • Level 0-4 Accelerators can still be very strong with support from slowing towers.
• The Military Base can be quite strong against Husks due to the Tank and Railgun Tank's high health.
  • Be aware that only one unit spawns per Military Base on Badlands II, which will go down a random path. The units may not go on the path where you need them.
• Multiple Level 4 Gladiators or Level 5 Ace Pilots can also effectively deal with the Husk, although they may need supports depending on how many are on the map.
• Towers that can damage multiple enemies at a time are very effective here, as the Husk spawns in large hordes. Such towers include the Executioner, Rocketeer and Mortar.
• Slowing towers are recommended due to the Husk's high speed. The Frost Blaster and Freezer are by far the most useful against this.
