Description
Ignitus is the final major boss of Hard Mode. He moves very slowly, but his health and abilities make up for his sluggish speed.
His abilities include a scythe swing, in which he swings his scythe into the ground to stun your towers. He can also summon meteors, which crash down onto your towers, also temporarily stunning them (these meteors are random in where they fall). Lastly, he has the ability to heal, which heals about 4,000 - 6,000 health.
Ignitus has 3 main phases, first starting when he spawns, the second starting at about 30,000 health, (Ignitus heals 
5,000 shield health at the second phase) and the third starting at about 25,000 HP. (Ignitus heals 15,000 - 20,000 health at the third phase) Ignitus starts moving faster once these phases start.
Ignitus is replaced by the True Ignitus in 'Ranked Up' Hard Mode.
Lore
"The cold, harsh and cruel ISC (Intergalactic Space Commerce) sought even more power within our planet. Though they operate within the Xerath Empire, they are more akin to a 'megacorporation', For those read up on our history, recall the Banana Wars within the 1930s within the Latin countries - where the means of controlling agricultural production gave corporations immense power over certain countries. Ignitus' control over certain products is akin to this idea, though without the bananas. No Ignitus does no like bananas. Anyways, holding a lot of leverage in shipping and trade, Ignitus deemed our planet as a suitable place for resource-gathering to occur, though this was only in part thanks to the invasion by the XCF. These harsh practices that Ignitus commits, such as the use of cybernetically enhancing spored individuals and sending out workers from his home planet as punishment for the war effort, were all in part to continue the power that the ISC holds over the Xerath economy. Thus, defeat of the overconfident Ignitus and his right man, Saber Champion, could tip the war in our favor through a Xerath economic depression - though considering the scale of their empire, this may only be a minor blip."

"The true overlord of the ISC faction. Although many of the defenders confuse the Saber Champion as the true lord, there still lies another unit beyond his command. He took the opportunity of the death of the Voltmaster and began the Second War, where you meet him now."
Appearance
Ignitus wears a crown alike The Void Star that has an orange gem on it, and horns atop his head. Said gem is actually his eye.
He wears armor, almost entirely black with occasional neon orange tints along with a big molten gem (which is his other eye) that in his armor's chest. He has slightly visible spike/tentacles sticking out of his back.
Upon death, these spikes appear to 'lose color' along with most of the rest of Ignitus' body, a sound can also be heard when he perishes. He also wears a cape, chains on his arms, and wields a scythe which he uses for stunning towers.
Ignitus' updated version currently has no facial features.
Tactics
- It is recommended to use many 2-4 Vulcans as possible or Electricizers while dealing with this boss, due to it's massive health pool.
- As a beginner, You may want to spam multiple Snipers and Sharpshooters to kill this boss.
- You could use 4-2 Elites with 4-0 Sharpshooters with some help from two 4-2 and one 1-4 Bugler for firerate and range boosts.
- It is smart to place some cheap towers to lure Ignitus into focusing his stun on that tower, instead of your main DPS towers.
- Consider using Mechanic's forcefield ability to prevent your towers from getting stunned.
- However shields can disappear due to stuns from Unstable. It is highly recommended to avoid placing forcefields close to the lane.
