Description

The Fallen Rusher is a fast enemy that appears in Fallen and High Rank PVP Test modes. It has somewhat high health, along with extremely fast speed. However, when it loses all of its shield health, its shield is destroyed, reducing its speed. It is also immune to being stunned, meaning stuns only slow it down and it is unable to be knocked back.

Appearance

The Fallen Rusher has black skin. Its body has blue cracks on it. It wears metal gloves and shoes with spikes on them and a metal helmet. It has grey bandages on its arms and legs. It carries a grey shield with blue accents. The shield has a large blue gem in the center. When it loses all its shield health, it loses the shield that it carries.

Strategy

• High DPS towers like the Turret, Minigunner, Engineer or Accelerator can be quite effective against this.
  • The DJ Booth, Commander and Mercenary Base can be used to boost these towers.
• Crowd control towers like the Mortar can be pretty useful against this, as they can quickly get rid of shield health from multiple Fallen Rushers.
• Because of its fast speed, stalling towers like the Cryomancer, Electroshocker or Freezer can be quite useful.
  • Do note that because of its stun immunity, stuns will only slow it down instead of stunning it and knockback will have no effect on it.
