Description

The Hidden is an enemy that cannot be attacked by towers without hidden detection that appears in Easy, Casual, Legacy Molten, Intermediate, Molten, Low Rank PVP Test and Mid Rank PVP Test modes, and the Tutorial. It serves to introduce the need for hidden detection, and can be a nuisance without it. It is slightly faster than the Normal and Abnormal.

The Grave Digger had a chance to spawn the Hidden with its Triumphing Sheol ability in Easy mode. The Hidden was also formerly spawned by the Necromancer before its replacement. The Tombstone could also spawn the Hidden before its removal. The Mystery can summon the Hidden upon death.

It also appeared as parts of the SFOTH Event, Metaverse Champions Event and The Classic Event.

The third version of the legacy Hidden is similar to the current version, except it has a sad face.

Strategy

• Most early game towers tend to gain hidden detection on one of its upgrades; these towers are sufficient to deal with early Hiddens. Such towers include the Soldier, Sniper, Shotgunner, Militant, Gladiator, and Golden Scout.
  • As Hiddens spawn in hordes, the Golden Pyromancer is particularly useful, being able to damage multiple enemies at once and having hidden detection by default. The regular Pyromancer also gains hidden detection at Level 2 and is a less effective, but still strong tower against Hiddens.
  • If you can use the Farm well, the Minigunner and Accelerator are feasible choices, though they are not necessary and are fairly expensive, especially in Easy mode.
• For splash damage towers that cannot target Hiddens, such as the Mortar, if a Hidden is caught up in an explosion, they will be dealt splash damage.
  • This means that another detectable enemy must be near the Hidden for a splash damage tower to hit it.
  • While the Rocketeer has hidden detection, it should not be used early on due to its high upgrade and placement costs.
• Although the Level 0-1 Pyromancer does not have hidden detection, its flames can pierce through enemies, so the Hidden can be damaged if there is another detectable enemy near it.
  • This should not be relied on, as some waves have Hiddens as the only enemies appearing.
    • Additionally, the Pyromancer gains hidden detection at Level 2, making it viable against it.
• On wave 16 of Molten mode, you can choose to not kill the corpse that the Hidden leaves, and since it is still on the map, the wave will not end. This allows you to make as much money as you want using the DJ Booth's Drop the Beat ability on Green track.
