- "Time to send out the big guns...
Let's see how you handle my Mind Shackled!
They used to be a commander just like you." - ―Titus on Wave 6 (Failed Gateway)
Description
The Mind Shackled was an enemy that appeared in Failed Gateway as part of the Hexscape Event. It had high health but was slightly slow. When it first appeared, it was a Boss enemy, granting it multiple immunities. It also occasionally appeared as a Bloated, Nimble and Aggro enemy.
Appearance
The Mind Shackled was a wooden construct with a brown body. It had a dark brown shirt and pants that were torn, as well as two brown bandoliers. It had multiple pieces of scrap metal around its arms, connected with dark brown straps. It had a large grey and brown backpack on its back. It also had a metal head piece with wires and a lens on its head.
Strategy
- The Mind Shackled is very slow, but has high health for its early debut. Heavy damage options are needed to take down the Mind Shackled before it gets too far. Such towers include the Crook Boss, Militant, Minigunner or Golden Soldier.
- The Mind Shackled sometimes has the Aggro attribute, including its first appearance, making it especially dangerous. The enemies accompanying the Mind Shackled are faster than it and will take advantage of the Mind Shackled's Aggro to slip by.
- Towers that can hit multiple enemies at once can be used to prevent too many enemies from getting past.
- Placing towers in the back may be necessary if too many enemies get past your towers.
