Description

The Commander is an enemy that appears in Pizza Party. It has a high amount of health and an above average speed. It is also immune to being frozen by freezing towers and has the stun immunity, which makes it only be slowed down instead of stunned by the Warden and Electroshocker and makes it immune to knockback. It has one ability where it will stop moving and start shaking for a brief period of time before emitting radio waves from its head, which speeds up the Commander and nearby enemies.

The Commander replaces the Tank in Pizza Party.

Appearance

The Commander is a robot that resembles the Level 0 Default Commander. It has white skin, blue uniform with yellow markings, an upturned collar and a yellow lapel, blue tilted cap, black torso and shoes and dark blue pants. It has black button eyes and black sewed mouth. On the lower part of its torso, there is a large mouth with white teeth and a red bloody tongue that goes through a part of its upper torso, and coming up out of the back, holding a stool in place. Part of its head and left arm are also torn off, revealing its endoskeleton and wires. It also has an oversized radio in place of a hand which it uses to speed up other enemies.

On death, it will shake and flail its arms around, emit yellow sparks and then power down and fall forward. It also plays a powering down sound when it dies.

Strategy

• When the Commander first appears on Wave 25, it is not much of a threat as only a few enemies spawn after it for it to speed up.
  • However, subsequent waves have the Commander spawn alongside more strong enemies like hordes of Shotgunners and Cobalt Guards, making it a significant threat.
• High DPS towers like the Golden Minigunner, Accelerator or Engineer are recommended against it.
  • The Commander tower can also be quite useful at decreasing these tower's firerate, boosting their DPS.
  • You can try to kill the Commander before it can speed any enemies up, though this is not necessary.
• As the Commander has Freeze Immunity, the Freezer, Frost Blaster and Sledger cannot freeze this enemy.
  • The Electroshocker and Warden can only slow it down instead of stopping it completely while knockback towers like the Brawler cannot knock it back, because of its Stun Immunity.
    • Additionally, because of the Commander's size, the Warden will only slow it down for a shorter amount of time.

Trivia

• The Commander, alongside the Circuit from Hardcore mode, the Circuit from Polluted Wasteland II and the Speedy King are the only enemies to boost the speed of nearby enemies.
