Captain "What? Is that a black hole??" - Captain, Wave 41 on Expert Mode |
Description
The Kugelblitz is a late-game flying enemy that moves at a slow speed and appears exclusively in Expert Mode. It first debuts at Wave 41. Players should by then have flying detection sufficient enough to counter the Kugelblitz.
The Kugelblitz is replaced by the Kugelblitz X when the 'Ranked Up' attribute is applied.
Lore
"Intellectual minds from beyond this realm. It appears various Xerath minds were attempting to bring them from the realm of dimensions beyond our third, though the only way of doing such a thing was by using a black hole - bringing them down into an infinitesimal point. Something tells me the Overlord has a connection to the creation of these Kugelblitz."
"An extreme personification of one of the XCF's most dangerous weapons, the 'Black Hole Bomb'. Warships under command are able to throw small-scale black holes at their enemies, devastating anything they touch. We are only lucky that this technology has not seen it's [sic] full potential."
"A black hole creature? Maybe, but somehow it has been contained in a humanoid structure. This is just mocking our current technology state."
Appearance
The Kugelblitz has dark black skin with a vivid neon orange aura / outline surrounding itself. It is contained within a neon-orange torus which floats around its arms and torso at around a 22.5° angle.
Tactics
- You should use the same tactics to defeat the Mothership, However you will most likely have prepared defenses after Wave 41. So this enemy won't be the biggest problem.
