Description
The Diminisher is the final boss of Chapter 1 in the Cold Construct 2022 Event, although it does make a secondary appearance within Chapters 2 & 4 of the same event as a mini-boss. Alike to many bosses in-game, it has multiple abilities in its arsenal, which will effect your towers negatively. Its statistics pertaining to its health include 
5,500, 10,000 to 40,000 health, dependent on which chapter you are playing, along with 
6,500 and 5000 shield health, scaling in which chapter you play on.
Lore
"Nicknamed "Diminisher of Ambition", these units are one of the sturdiest members of Constructs. Rumor says that upon sight of a Diminisher, immediate evacuation of the area is required. No one settlement has survived from a Diminisher attack, until now..."
Appearance
The Diminisher appears to be a rouge entity that is set on the destruction of the current settlement you are in. Its appearance is similar to the Demonic Summoner, consisting of an open red cloak, dark red pauldrons, black and gray gloves, a twin blade axe with a black handle and oversized shoulder from the axe that seems to project a physical holographic light carmine pink double blade with unequal proportions in both sides, four light carmine pink eyes that forms a mad expression, and an overall black and red color scheme associated with it. A helmet that resembles a combination of roman and viking designs, although cybernetic-looking and extremely hard to notice can be seen on the Diminisher's clothing.
Tactics
- This enemy usually get shielded by other enemies, set some towers with their targeting to "Strongest" if possible.
- In this case, 3-X Recon Base to clear hordes, it also deals heavy damage for the Diminisher itself.
- Alternatively, a 4-2 Demolitionist can be another great option to clear hordes covering for the Diminisher.
- In this case, 3-X Recon Base to clear hordes, it also deals heavy damage for the Diminisher itself.
- High DPS towers such as Elite and Vulcan is recommended to beat this enemy, but be aware of the Maximum Damage.
- To avoid its constant sniping stuns, it's recommended to spam large amounts of cheap units away from your main defense. 0-0 Slinger and 0-0 Mechanic are optimal for the job, but the cheapest tower in your inventory will work.
- The Recon Base can be used if it's placed close to the track, as the Recon Base cannot be stunned by Diminisher and will continuously spawn units in progress.
Trivia
- In Winter Town and Arctic Frontier, the Diminisher doesn't have a health bar that appears on the top of your screen and appears mostly in groups of two or three.
- The Diminisher's helmet is the Warlord's Battlecrown.
- The Diminisher is the first enemy to have its health scaled in different scenarios, this being what chapter the player(s) is on.
- The Diminisher is the fourth enemy to have four eyes, the others including the Pure Champion, Demonic Summoner, Hellrisen, Arbiter and Mechanical Arbiter.
- For some reason, the health bar of the Diminisher in Chapter 2 says it has
12,000 total health, despite it saying it has 10,000. - In Subzero Dam, the Diminisher's Diminishing Discharge ability didn't stun the towers due to a bug. It is now fixed.
- The Diminisher's spawning noise is the same as the Boltmaster's, but at a deeper pitch and more monotone.
- The death noise of Diminisher is a pitched down and "robotic" version of the death sound of the Metrocop from HλLF-LIFE2.
- When the Diminisher dies, it kneels to the ground, stops for a short moment, and collapses. Its eyes blacken out as well.
- Before Cold Construct 2022 update, The Diminisher was the weakest major boss, shortly being followed by Lord Swordmaster and Voltmaster.
- Currently, the Voltmaster takes the throne.
