Hypnotist is a frail floating blue infected with torn black pants. A large chunk of its body is completely overtaken by blue energy, most notably the top of its head, which has formed into a gooey substance, similar to Energy Sphere, that swirls around. It has an especially long and thin neck and its torso is especially decayed. its eyes flash white and blue.

Overview

Hypnotist cannot directly damage units. Instead, he targets 1-2 units and hypnotizes them, making them unable to move or act. Hypnosis lasts for 10 seconds.

Strategy

Fighting Hypnotist can be similar to fighting Psy, melee and short-range units are usually unable to get close enough to attack him. Using Empty Barrel or Red Barrel are the most reliable options, as they can be dropped onto Hypnotist directly. Alternatively, Turret can be used to kill him since it can't be hypnotized. hypnotized units stop being hypnotized if they take damage from anything aside from status effects. So, dropping either of the barrels on your hypnotized units isn't a bad idea as long a healing option is available. However, this option should only be done if Hypnotist is behind the barricade and unable to be hit or killed by any units currently on the field, since killing Hypnotist will cause units it hypnotized to stop being hypnotized.
