Reroute Tower Defense bosses and wave modifiers

Checked 2026-11-10

The Reroute: Merge Tower Defense Android listing names Crimson Fang, Volt Maw and Toxic King, plus six wave modifiers. This reference separates their published names from the still-unpublished abilities.

Google Play names Crimson Fang, Volt Maw and Toxic King as bosses. It also lists these wave modifiers: Swarm, Shield, Split, Rage, Fog and Haste. That is the entire written kit. Poki’s English and Chinese blurbs never mention these names. So the names have one written source. The on-screen boss has two visual sources: Play’s “BOSS INCOMING / HOLD THE LINE” screenshot, and the LogixGenic video, where a larger unit wears a gold Boss tag and its own red health bar.

Named bosses

In the video the boss is not labeled with those proper names. The readable label is the word Boss. I therefore do not assign Crimson Fang, Volt Maw or Toxic King to a specific minute of that run. Around the 22-minute mark the video shows red text reading “Boss: Split + Shield”. That is evidence that a modifier can sit on a boss. It is not evidence of which named boss was on the field.

Wave modifiers

Play also mentions a Boss book: collect every boss. It does not show the screen, the reward, or whether “every boss” means the three names above. I stop at that sentence. If you are picking towers before a Shield tag, the only published hint is Poison, which is written up on the Poison row. Path length still matters on a boss wave for the same reason it matters on a normal wave: the road stays open and a longer road means more time under your towers. That principle is on the how to play page.

What a useful boss page can still say

• The store art and the public video show a larger unit with its own health bar. Two publishers provide those visuals; this does not establish the complete set of game modes.
• Modifiers can stack on that unit. One filmed label, “Boss: Split + Shield”.
• Do not build a loadout from the names. Crimson does not document a fire boss, Volt does not document a stun, and Toxic does not document a poison boss.
