Strategy

  • While some splash damage towers like the Demoman and Mortar cannot target Hidden Bosses, they can hit them through splash damage, if another detectable enemy is near the Hidden Boss.
    • This is very useful for towers which have a large explosion range, such as the Mortar.
    • The Rocketeer can be effective against the Hidden Boss because of its hidden detection and high DPS.
  • The Minigunner is an obvious candidate for defeating the Hidden Boss due to their high DPS and their hidden detection coming at a reasonable cost.
  • A Level 4+ Ace Pilot can provide hidden detection to towers that do not have it, making towers such as the Ranger and Mortar effective counters against the Hidden Boss.
    • The tower must be in the range of the Ace Pilot's runway for them to receive hidden detection.
  • You can use the Frost Blaster, Freezer and Warden to slow the Hidden Boss down.
    • You cannot use the Toxic Gunner as they do not have hidden detection.
      • While Sledger and Electroshocker do not have hidden detection, they can still indirectly hit the Hidden Boss if a detectable enemy is near it, though this should not be relied on as its quite inconsistent.
    • Due to the Hidden Boss's size, it can only be stunned by the Warden or frozen for a shorter length of time compared to average-sized enemies.

Trivia

  • On some devices, the Hidden Boss may have transparent skin instead of black skin, with certain graphics settings.
  • The cape used by the Hidden Boss is a re-textured version of the Guardian of the Night Cape accessory from the Roblox catalog.
  • If the Hidden Boss is frozen by the Sledger, it will sometimes create a massive wall of ice.
  • Multiple Hidden Bosses can be seen as a chess piece in the Chess Board map, representing the Bishop chess piece.
    • One of the Hidden Bosses can also be seen hanging on the chess piece.
