Strategy

• Multiple high DPS towers, like the Golden Minigunner, Accelerator, and Engineer are recommended to take down the Toxic.
  • The Accelerator's overcharge does not increase when it is dealing damage to an enemy's regenerated health, making it more effective against enemies which had their health regenerated.
• The Commander can be very useful at increasing the DPS of your towers, allowing you to deal with the Toxics quicker.
  • The Commander can also be useful against enemies that are healed by the Toxic's acidic puddle.
• As this enemy is quite fast, slowing towers like the Electroshocker and Sledger can be very useful against this.
• Be careful of the Toxic's Acid Bath ability as it can rapidly heal other enemies, making it a much bigger threat when there are large groups of enemies.
  • It is recommended to kill the Toxic as soon as possible so it does not heal enemies that are already damaged.

Trivia

• The Commander used to improperly mention this enemy as a Fallen.
  • This was because the Commander's dialogue for Fallen mode was not changed in Polluted Wasteland II before the Halloween 2022 Update.
• The Toxic despite being an acidic enemy, does not have any immunity to the Toxic Gunner.
• The Toxic is somewhat similar in terms of looks to the Toxic from Tower Battles.
• The Toxic may be based on the Toxic Zombie from The Final Stand 2, due to both of them having an ability to create a puddle of acid, which heals enemies walking on it.
