Lore

• Current
• Version 1

"When any force rebels against the ISC Faction, things often turn gloomy. Any individual caught will immediately be made an example of by the ISC Faction, resulting in an emotionless, tortured unit."

"These units are repurposed prisoners of war who were taken in. If someone were captured, they would undergo a transformation into a tortured unit. The screams can still be heard from far away."

Appearance

The Chained has turquoise skin with chains wrapped around its arms. It is seen wearing a black bandana, its torso and legs are also black. There is a knife seen stabbing through the bottom of its lower left leg. It has a sad face under the bandana.

Tactics

• Cheap towers with high DPS are recommended, like the Sharpshooter, Sniper.
  • Additionally, these towers ignore defense at specific levels, making them deal full damage to the enemy.
  • Demolitionist can be used to clear surrounding enemies and let other towers focus on the boss.
• The Vulcan can be used to make short work of the Chained.
  • However, its lower levels will have their DPS significantly decreased due to the boss's defense.
    • Use 2-3 or 3-2 Vulcan to fix this issue.

Trivia

• Chained is the first enemy that had defense added to it in-game, before Expert Mode was fully completed.
• In ISC Monolithium, humanoid figures can be seen suspended on the ceiling, it references the lore for Chained.
