Traits before names
Most units die to more damage. Four traits decide whether the line holds.
- Hidden: only towers with detection can hit them. Sniper Dummy gets it at level 3. Flamethrower Dummy gets it partway up the path, and its burn reveals hidden enemies to friendlies.
- No Cash: the kill pays nothing. Do not count on these waves to fund upgrades.
- Fireproof or anti-burn: flames are a poor answer until Flamethrower Dummy level 5, which is described as ignoring fire immunity.
- Flying: Jetpack Noob needs about 30 range before anything can shoot it.
Health and speed below are the V1.29.15 figures in current public notes. The full bestiary is larger than this list; these are the units with published numbers or a mechanic that changes your build.
Noobs
| Enemy | HP | Speed | What to do |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fast Noob | 10 | 6.72 | Any steady fire |
| Rusher Noob | 150 | 10 | Hit it early with range |
| Strong Noob | 40 | 3.09 | Sustained DPS. It wears a vest |
| Medic Noob | 100 | 4 | Burst it first. It heals Noobs and vehicles about every 8 seconds |
| Ninja Noob | 20 | 4 | Hidden and No Cash. Detection only |
| Lava Noob | 800 | 1.5 | Fireproof, No Cash, very slow. Use non-fire DPS, or a maxed flamethrower |
| Glitch Noob | 5 | 13 | 8,000 armor, 10 percent resistance, No Cash. It rams path units and dies near the base. Burst it before the lane ends |
| Jetpack Noob | 30 | 4.25 | Needs 30 range |
Noob Experiment opens on Experiment Noob, called the highest-HP starter in any mode, without a published HP number. Get Builder ScaleDummy or Shotgunner Scale Dummy firing before you invest in a slow Titan.
Guests
Both known robot Guests carry C4. They explode on death and stun towers. The blast does not damage towers. It silences them.
- Robot Guest: 125 HP, 20 percent damage resistance, speed 8, anti-burn.
- Large Robot Guest: 250 HP plus a 150 armor pool, 25 percent resistance, speed 10, No Cash.
Do not rely on Flamethrower Dummy as the main answer. Kill them before they reach the cluster you cannot afford to stun.
Undead
Infected Dummy is wave 1 of Undead Mode: 13 HP, speed 6, no self-preservation. Alone it is trivial. In a pack it reaches the base.
October 1, 2026 added Void Dummy, Void Scale Dummy, Armored Infected Dummy, and Husk Mutant Dummy. No public HP, speed, or trait lines yet. The mode ends on the Plague Doctor, covered with the other bosses.
