Description

The Quick is the second enemy the player faces in the game in Molten, Fallen, Hardcore and PVP Test modes. While it does appear in all PVP Test ranks, it can only be sent in High Rank PVP Test. It also appears in Badlands II and Pizza Party maps, and in the Sandbox exclusive Legacy Fallen and Golden modes. It is faster than the Abnormal while also being tankier.

The Quick can be spawned by the Dark Necromancer. Upon its death, the Mystery can spawn the Quick in Golden, Legacy Fallen and Hardcore modes.

Appearance

Strategy

• Most towers can deal with the Quick effectively.
  • Any tower catered towards early game, like the Soldier, Gladiator, Golden Scout, Militant or Golden Crook Boss is recommended
  • Towers with a high firerate, like the Sniper or Hunter, may struggle against hordes of Quicks.
  • Towers that can deal damage to multiple enemies are especially effective against Quicks as they spawn in hordes. Such towers include the Demoman, Electroshocker, Pyromancer and Shotgunner.
    • The slow firerate of some crowd control towers, like the Demoman or Shotgunner, may make them miss a few of the Quicks that spawn early on.
• While not recommended if you are not trying to activate the Hidden Wave, it is an option to avoid defending against the first few waves of Quicks and simply let them reach the exit, as their low health makes it unlikely to make you lose.
  • You can use the Medic to heal the base health back, but it may not be necessary.
  • As you are not spending money on defenses, you can use the Farm more effectively for the first few waves to get better towers when stronger enemies appear.
