Scourger Banshees appear after the death of a Twilight Scourger. They have no encyclopedia entry. They are known as Banshees in the mobile version.
Overview[]
The ghostly remains of a Twilight Scourger seek out nearby towers to curse, immobilizing them in a final act of revenge for killing their former living selves.
Unlike other enemies, a Scourger Banshee finds and curses nearby towers rather than going directly to the exit. On Steam, possibly due to a bug, Banshees fly along for a second, then eventually curse a random nearby tower. Allowing a Banshee to cross the exit doesn't cost the player any lives, nor does allow them to curse a tower. A cursed tower will be disabled for 10 seconds, during which time it cannot attack or be interacted with. Melee Tower units and Runed Bears can still attack, but will not respawn if they are defeated while the curse is still in effect.
A Scourger Banshee is only spawned following the death of the Twilight Scourger, and will never come from an entrance or spawn point on its own.
Strategy[]
- A good strategy is to build non-upgraded towers near the entrances and the upgraded ones further into the level. Use Reinforcements and Heroes to stall or kill the Twilight Scourger, will force the Banshee to curse the weaker tower leaving the stronger towers to continue attacking. Make sure you keep an eye on other enemies that may interrupt your Reinforcements or Heroes, such as ranged attackers like Twilight Harassers.
- The Scourger Banshee will not appear if the player uses instant kills–such asSoul Burn, Branchball or Eldritch Doom. However, Vindicator, Crimson Sentence or Reaper's Harvest will not have the same effect and will create the Banshee.
