Defense Grid: The Awakening: Difference between revisions

''Defense Grid'' provides examples of:

* [[Airborne Mook]]: Darts and Mantas. Both of which do not take the usual route which the other mooks do, and instead travel another fixed path.

* [[Boring but Practical]]: Once they're fully upgraded, Gun Towers are one of the best damage-dealing towers available. They're also the cheapest tower to buy and upgrade.

* [[Brain Uploading]]: The General who stopped the previous invasion is now the AI running the defense grid. He often talks about things he would do if he was still in his body. Mostly eating raspberries.

* [[Chain Lightning]]: The Tesla tower can chain up to three hits.

* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: Spending over a thousand years uploaded inside a defense computer network has left the General a little... odd, [[Subverted Trope|but he realizes how he's acting]] and resolves to stay focused on repelling the invasion.

* [[Deflector Shields]]: The Bulwark uses these to protect itself. The Spire's can protect other aliens. The already unfair [[Mighty Glacier|Crasher]] is given these to make [[The Juggernaut]]. Gun and Cannon towers are [[Super Effective]] against them.

* [[Dungeon Bypass]]: Later levels have you build [[The Maze]] yourself using towers. [[Airborne Mook|Flying enemies]] go right over it, and instantly leave the map when they reach your power cores.

* [[The Goomba]]: Training drones in the first stage are very weak and can only carry one core. That's the ''only'' time you will fight them, though.

* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: The General assisting you is [[Ratchet and Clank|Captain Qwark]] and [[Marvel vs. Capcom 3|Sentinel]]. Worried yet?

* [[Kill Sat]]: The orbital laser obliterates anything, but is slow to charge.

* [[Lightning Bruiser]]: Rumblers. Pretty much a [[King Mook]] version of a [[Fragile Speedster|Racer]], these guys have quite a lot of health, are extremely fast, and they can carry away three cores at a time! In terms of boss standards though, they are [[Fragile Speedster|Fragile Speedsters]], as they can only take about fourth of the damage of a Crasher.
