Description

The Slow is an enemy that appears in the Easy, Casual, Legacy Molten, Intermediate, Low Rank PVP Test and Mid Rank PVP Test modes, as well as the Tutorial. As the name of it suggests, it is a slow, but relatively strong enemy that requires tower upgrades to be countered.

The Slow also has a chance to be spawned by the Mystery upon its death in the Legacy Molten mode. The Grave Digger had a chance to spawn the Slow with its Triumphing Sheol ability in Easy mode. The Slow was also formerly spawned by the Necromancer before its replacement. In The Heights, the Slow could have been spawned by the Swordmaster or from the Tombstone when it was destroyed.

It also appeared as parts of the SFOTH Event, Metaverse Champions Event and The Classic Event.

Appearance

Strategy

• Most towers can deal with the Slow effectively.
  • Any tower catered towards early game, like the Soldier, Gladiator, Brawler, Warden, Militant or Golden Crook Boss is recommended.
  • It is unnecessary to try to get stronger, more expensive towers like the Minigunner solely to deal with Slows, as cheaper options fare well against them already.
  • Towers that can deal damage to multiple enemies are especially effective against Slows as they spawn in hordes. Such towers include the Demoman, Electroshocker, Pyromancer and Shotgunner.
• While not recommended if you do not have high base health, it is an option to avoid defending against the first few waves of Slows 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 is not 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.
• Due to their slow speed, you can place your towers closer to the entrance to kill Slows quicker, saving time. However, this is not necessary.
