Description

Splash Damage Immunity (with its tag referring to it as "No Explosion"), also referred to as Explosion Immunity, is an immunity that prevents the enemy from being damaged by most forms of Splash Damage.

Mechanics

Splash Damage Immunity makes enemies immune to Splash Damage. However, some towers that deal such damage can also deal non-splash damage, which can harm enemies with this immunity as long as they do not have any other attributes that could prevent the tower from doing so. While most forms of Splash Damage do not deal damage to it, there are some exceptions to this, such as the Paintballer, which is likely due to the game not registering it as dealing explosive damage. As of currently, this immunity is not used in the game, outside of occasional events which include enemies with this immunity.

Prior to the 24th of December 2019, splash damage did minimal damage to enemies with Splash Damage Immunity. This was because if the enemy was directly targeted by splash damage (called direct damage), they would be damaged. However they would not be damaged if they were not directly targeted, even if they were in the explosion radius. The Freezer could still deal direct damage until the Overhaul Update, where its Splash Damage was removed, though it could not freeze the enemies with its projectile.
