Fast (Enemy)

Fast
First appears in level	1.5

Fast is a common enemy type found in Infinitode 2, playing as a quick variant of the typical enemy, traveling roughly 25% faster than the normal movement speed of an enemy.

Strategy

As the designated "speedy" enemy alongside Jet, Fasts can be a large pest for pushing past defenses built around slow but heavy damage, rushing through the map to the player's base at the end of the track.

To compensate for its speed, Fasts are often quite vulnerable to area-of-effect towers (having only a middling health pool, and suffering against the several high damage bonuses those AOE towers benefit from). Multishot is especially effective, gaining a 50% damage bonus on top of its already great ability to target and land shots at Fasts. Freezing and Blast also have their uses in counteracting the speed of a Fast, even when Blast has its direct damage reduced, it can still assist other towers with Fast cleanup. Freezing tower is especially useful against Fast, being able to greatly reduce its speed and increase the damage taken. Venom towers' poison effect can further slow Fast enemies by 5% for each effect, capping at 75%.

It is important not to play too heavily into countering enemies such as the Strong, as Fasts have their greatest resistances to the towers which do very well against Strong enemies. Sniper and Tesla do just 25% damage to Fast, while Missile does not damage it at all. Being quite expensive in their own rights, spending too many coins on such towers can lead to the player's loss to Fasts.
