Description

The Bat was an enemy that appeared exclusively in Nightmare Carnival as part of the Halloween 2019 Event. It was spawned after a Vampire was killed. It was also spawned by Jack O' Bot. It was quite fast (faster than the Vampire and Ghost) while also having a considerable amount of health.

As the Bat was flying, it could not be hit by collisions from units, like Tanks from the Military Base. It was also hidden, so it could not be targeted by towers without hidden detection.

Appearance

The Bat took the appearance of a regular cave-dwelling bat. It was completely black and relatively small compared to the Vampire, while also flying above the ground.

Strategy

• The Military Base's units (like the Humvee 3) and SWAT Van (from the Enforcer) are useless against Bats as they cannot target or collide with the Bat.
  • The Crook Boss's units are also useless against Bats, as they cannot detect them.
• Despite being a flying enemy, the Bat could be detected by ground towers.
  • This makes the Minigunner and Turret very useful against it.
• Due to the Bat's high speed, a Level 3+ Pyromancer is recommended to slow them down.
  • A Level 0-2 Pyromancer cannot detect the Bat, as the Pyromancer only receives hidden detection on Level 3.
• If a Vampire with low health is reaching the end of the map, try not to kill it as it will turn into a Bat, doing considerably more damage to the base.
• The Freezer's Ice Age ability can freeze Bats, even though the ability appears on the ground.

Trivia

• This was the first enemy to be immune to collisions, tied with the Witch, though the Bat was immune from collision from all units, while the Witch was only immune from collision by the Tank and Railgun Tank.
  • This was the second enemy to fly, after the UFO and tied with the Witch.
• The Bat was based on R2D's Cavebat.
• The Bat appeared on the Hunter's original Halloween skin.
