Nerd Duck

"You will pay for leaving us to starve like we were NOTHING! All of you!"

―Nerd Duck dialogue on Wave 33 (Bathroom Approach, Hard)

Description

The Nerd Duck is the final boss of the Ducky Revenge Event on Hard, appearing on Wave 33. As a major boss, it has very high health, boss immunities such as Nuke fallout damage, Jester and Biologist confusion effects, the DJ Booth's slowdown from Drop the Beat and the Toxic Gunner's slowdown. To compensate, it walks quite slowly.

It has seven abilities. The first, Ryanair Short-Haul has it jump to another path. It always moves paths in a cycle: Starts on yellow, then jumps to orange, then green, then blue and then goes back to yellow. The second, Ducky Takeover has it spawn 10 Elite Duckies and 1 Mega Duck with 100% Defense. The third, Ducky Decoy just spawns 1 Mega Duck, without the boosted defense. The fourth, Transfer Deal, has it target a tower with a beam and swap it's location with another tower. The fifth, Material Destruction has it supercharge itself, either permanently destroying a Bunny Sentry, if there is one still alive and bought, or if not, damages the base by 25 health, stuns all towers for 8 seconds and deals 100,000 damage to units. The sixth, Blast Missiles, has it fire out missiles at towers, applying a 20% firerate and 20% range debuff for 8 seconds. The seventh, Enraged Slam, has it power up it's left arm and slam the ground, stunning towers for 4 seconds and dealing 600 damage to units.

When the Nerd Duck is defeated, it begins to fall apart, first it's right arm, then it's left arm, then the bunny ears which are launched into the sky, and then it falls over on it's back, tossing the duck inside out in the process. The bunny ears then fall back down to the ground.

Logbook Description

"The latest invention by Nerd Duck: a state-of-the-art machine wing-crafted by the mechanist nerd who equipped it with the latest engineering of duck weaponry. With the discovery of the God Shard, its energy output allowed Nerd Duck to harness its power and advance currently known duck technology. This masterpiece stands as Nerd Duck’s prized creation."

Appearance

The Nerd Duck is a huge mech based off a rabbit. The mech itself is adorned with white plating. In its chest, theres a cockpit where the Nerd Duck pilots the mech and located on its back is a red core. The arms are more square near the shoulder while the forearms are more circular. Located in both arms are compartments that contain missile launchers, and both arms have 4 grey fingers. The legs are grey except for the thighs which are white, and the feet resemble that of a rabbit. Finally, the head is flat and heavily resembles that of a rabbit, with red eyes, a small grey nose and two large ears.

Strategy

• Towers with high DPS and long range such as the Pursuit, Ranger and Gatling Gun are best against the Nerd Duck. These should all be buffed by Commander and DJ Booth.
• You should have other towers in order to attack the enemies that spawn during the fight on other paths, such as the Golden Pyromancer, Accelerator, Engineer or Turret.
• Purchasing the Bunny Sentries is highly recommended, as the Nerd Duck's Material Destruction ability will damage the base by 25 health, making it highly unlikely you will defeat the Nerd Duck before your base health is reduced to zero.
