Description

The Molten Hound is an enemy that first appears on Wave 21 of Molten mode. It also appears in The Takeover Event. It has a decently high health and fast speed. Upon death, it will create a small explosion which deals 50 damage to units in an explosive radius of 6.

Appereance

The Molten Hound resembles a hellish dog with crimson skin. Multiple parts of its body are replacement with cybernetic parts, which includes portions of its head, torso, tail and legs. It walks on all fours and has a mouth with very sharp teeth.

Strategy

• High DPS towers, like the Minigunner, Accelerator or Turret should be able to take care of this quite easily, due to their DPS.
  • The Ranger and Pursuit can also be useful, due to their practically map-wide range.
• Stalling towers like the Electroshocker, Freezer, Brawler or Cryomancer can be used to slow it down, as it is quite fast.
  • Multiple of these towers can also be used to drop its Defense, though as it is quite low this will have minimal impact on the damage it receives.
