Description
The Invader is the very first enemy encountered by the player in Normal and Hard Modes. It has an average speed and 
4 health, Its weaker version is in the tutorial mode.
Invader is replaced by the Swordsman on Expert Mode or with the 'Ranked Up' modifier.
Lore
"When the XCF began their attack, they started small. Logistical challenges prevented a large infantry force to be enacted within our planet, so they had to destroy us from within. Their solution were the spores, a set of genetically modified fungi that were genetically engineered to enter the human system, improve upon it physically and change its allegiance to the Xerath empire. This was such a powerful tool that, in fact, most urban centers suffered great losses. Such a threat suggests that the attack was pre-planned years ago - the indication being that the spores were modified specifically against the human genome. Whatever it is, the Invader is the regular class of spored individual, often dangerous and hard to reason with."
"During the Initial War, spores of unseen organisms were dropped across the planet to begin their total domination. These blue-skinned warriors are the result of the transformation from their normal shape to a stronger, new form."
Appearance
The Invader has shiny blue skin and a black torso. It wears black pauldrons and fingerless gloves on both arms, and its legs are a slightly darker color than its torso. It has a sad face like most of the enemies.
The Invader had ocean blue skin along with a dark blue torso and legs. It has a sad face like most other enemies.
Tactics
- The Invader is relatively easy to defeat as it is just a basic weak enemy that can easily be killed by any offensive tower. Placing lots of 0-0 Slingers can easily defeat a horde of these early on.
- Other cheap and more effective towers such as a 2-2 Demolitionist, 1-X Sharpshooter, and Sniper are very effective.
- Do not immediately upgrade the Sniper as it will easily get overwhelmed. Instead, place multiple of them.
- A 3-X Crossbower can easily kill hordes of Invaders without any struggle.
Trivia
- The Invader is the first enemy to spawn in two different modes.
- The modes where it does not appear are Expert Mode and both Normal and Hard Mode if the 'Ranked Up' attribute is active.
- The spores mentioned in the Invader's lore are created by the ISC Faction, and sold to the X-Council to spore the UEC's planet and weaken their forces.
