Soul Boss

Description

The Soul Boss is an enemy that cannot be attacked by towers without hidden detection. It only appears in Hardcore mode. It has mediocre health for its debut and has average speed, about the same speed as the Mystery Boss. Additionally, it is a ghost enemy, meaning that units cannot collide with it. Anything that deals unit collision damage also cannot deal damage to it.

The Mystery Boss can spawn the Soul Boss upon its death in Hardcore mode, wave 47 onwards.

Appearance

The Soul Boss is a white translucent enemy with white wings and a yellow halo. It emits light and is faceless.

It will fade completely, then fade back into view at regular intervals.

Strategy

• Towers with high DPS and hidden detection generally fare well against the Soul Boss. Such towers include the Minigunner, Turret and Accelerator.
  • Do be aware that when using the Accelerator, it may lock onto other enemies, allowing the Soul Boss to slip past.
• At Level 4+, the Ace Pilot is able to give towers in its range permanent hidden detection, allowing towers without hidden detection to be able to attack the Soul Boss.
  • This is most useful for the Ranger, because it deals high damage and has high range.
• The Mortar cannot detect the Soul Boss, but their splash damage can indirectly damage it.
  • Another detectable enemy must be near the Soul Boss for these towers to hit it.
• The Electroshocker can indirectly slowdown the Soul Boss as it is average-sized and does not have an energy immunity though another detectable enemy must be nearby.
  • The Frost Blaster, Freezer and Jester can also be used to slow down the Soul Boss, but the Toxic Gunner, Cryomancer and Sledger cannot as they do not have hidden detection.
    • However, the Sledger and Cryomancer can indirectly freeze it if another detectable enemy is near the Soul Boss, although this should not to be relied on, as it may appear on its own.
• All units that only deal collision damage such as the Humvee and Elf are completely useless against this enemy.
  • As the Trapper's spikes and bear traps deal unit collision damage, they do not deal any damage to the Soul Boss. If used to kill the Soul Boss, the Trapper should be set to place down landmines, as these deal explosion and burn damage.
