Description
The Queen is the second boss encountered in Elite Mode, debuting on Wave 27 alongside the King and Golden Knight.
She has an above average movement speed as well as a very high amount of combined health and shield for her debut, though significantly less than the King's. She also bears the same resistances as him, with the most notable being her 50% 
Golden Resistance.
In comparison to the King, whose debuffs and summoning abilities allow him to constantly pressure the defense, she takes on a more passive role, simply damaging towers with her crossbow, with her shots hopefully being able to pick off ones on low health. Her damage is not very threatening though, taking 4 shots just to kill a single 5-2 Missile Trooper, with her main threat largely just coming from her immense health pool. Overall though, she is still a significant threat, especially without adequate crowd-control and DPS to deal with the King and horde of Golden Knights tanking for her.
Additionally, upon being defeated, she will hold her hand up to her face before falling on her back, akin to a dramatic faint.
Appearance
The Queen is an extremely large, bulky, feminine humanoid with a very dull red skin color as well as numerous glowing red scars across her entire body, who is additionally largely clad in gray and golden armor, which is layered on top of a light gray underbody.
She dons a gray barbute that has a golden plate on the forehead, a golden spiked ridge at the top, and a small golden plate that covers the mouth region, with a pair of frowning glowing red eyes additionally being visible through its eye holes. Out the back of the helmet meanwhile flows her red low ponytail, which is tied with a golden clasp at lower portion. Moving on to her torso, it is clad with a gray cuirass that has a thick, golden lower rim as well as a glowing core embedded in its right side, which is split by a dark gray diagonal and housed within a dark gray frame. As for her arms, her left is entirely bare, while her right is lightly armored; bearing a gray pauldron with a golden plate on the front and back while the hand is fitted with a gray fingerless glove with golden accents. Moving on to her waist, it is not reached by her cuirass, being almost entirely exposed. It is however fitted with a black belt, affixed to which is a golden plate on the front and back as well as a pair of alternating gold and gray tassets on the sides. Lastly, she wears a pair gray boots that each have light gray caps, an ornate golden plate fitted onto the front, and golden soles, which each bear a stud at the front.
As for her weapons, she wields a golden crossbow with a gray frontal guard and handle, which fire brown bolts with a flat golden head and light gray, quad-finned fletching, with the arrows themselves being drawn from a gray quiver with a thick golden rim affixed to the left side of her waist.

Strategies
- Numerous maxed DPS towers such as 5-2 Missile Troopers and Machine Gunners and Juggernauts on either path should be able to take her down.
- Heavy crowd-control such as from 2-5 Missile Troopers set to Random targeting, maxed Artilleries on either path, or 5-2 Machine Gunners with their pierce are highly recommended as to wipe out the mob of Golden Knights tanking for her and the King.
- Golden towers should ideally not be used to defend against her, the King, and the Golden Knights they spawn alongside, and are generally not recommended for Elite Mode due to its lack of heavily bullet resistant enemies and with that; the existence of many more viable, more cost efficient options.
- If stalling is truly necessary, the Queen should be frozen using numerous 2-5 Cryo Blasters or other freezing towers bar Cryo Ranger due to her having
Full Stun Immunity.
Trivia
- The Queen and King's helmets resemble those of the 5-X and X-5 Golden Juggernauts', respectively.
- The King and Queen are the second bosses to not have their own theme that plays upon them spawning and while they are alive, but to instead have a soundtrack that plays only on the wave they spawn on, after Phoebus, Artemis, and Zeus.
- In this video, at 4:55, John mentions that the Queen can perma stun towers. However, this is not true ingame.
