Killdozer

Killdozer is an armored vehicle enemy found in The Bunker with 8 HP and 14 Shield, 3 damage, and 2 movement in its regular form (16 HP and 28 Shield, 4 damage, 3 movement as a Champion). It begins combat with 2 Brace and 3 Thorns, making it extremely tanky and punishing to attack in melee. Its name and design are based on the real-life tank-like bulldozer built by Marvin Heemeyer during the 2004 Killdozer rampage in Granby, Colorado.

The Killdozer's defining mechanic is its pursuit behavior: whenever any unit damages it, the Killdozer moves one tile toward the attacker, similar to the Boris boss encounter. When it reaches an opponent on its turn, it unleashes Killdoze, a devastating area attack covering a 2x2 space in front of it. It also has Trample, dealing damage to anything it moves through. This means attacking the Killdozer actively draws it closer, creating a dangerous feedback loop where aggression pulls it into melee range.

The two recommended strategies are to either stay away entirely and use powerful ranged moves to chip it down from a distance it cannot close, or use shield-piercing attacks to bypass its massive 14 Shield pool and 2 Brace. Melee attackers should avoid hitting it unless they can kill it in one turn, as each hit pulls it one tile closer and the 3 Thorns punish each melee contact. In encounters with other enemies alongside the Killdozer, consider dealing with the more mobile threats first while keeping distance from the Killdozer, then focusing it down once it is isolated.
