What Medusa is good at
- Her passive stuns every zombie she hits, and her active ability turns enemies to stone.
- The developer called her "completely broken" in the reveal and made her 5★.
Weaknesses and unknowns
- Low damage and slow attack speed, so she needs damage dealers next to her.
- Players report that bosses are immune to her stun and that the stun lasts about 2 seconds at most.
- A community tier list (October 3, 2026) rated Gluer above Medusa for crowd control.
Where to place Medusa
- Place Medusa early on the path so the zombies she stuns are held in front of your damage units.
- Save her active ability for big waves rather than single zombies.
Good pairings
These are suggestions based on the developer's and in-game ability descriptions, not on measured stats.
- Reaper: Stunned zombies stand still while Reaper's high damage and bleed work on them.
- Burner: Burner's burn keeps ticking while Medusa holds zombies in place.
- Sniper: Sniper's slow but heavy shots land on stunned targets.
How to get Medusa
Summon banner (5★, rare). Also included in the Studio Box developer product (1,699 Robux).
Units are summoned with Crayons on the summon banner in the mall lobby. Multi-summons of up to 50 are available, and players report that multi-summons do not raise your odds. Every summon can also roll a Shiny version: 1% normally, or 3% with the Shiny Hunter game pass (499 Robux), from player level 10. The VIP pass (399 Robux) gives 10% off summons. Free Crayons come from codes while they are active, and the beginner's guide lists other early sources.
Levelling, traits and evolution
Like every unit, Medusa levels up with XP from matches, Pencils and Stasis Pods (which train a unit over time while you are away). Players report that Stamps raise the level cap. Traits are painted on with Paint Pots and can be buffs such as damage, range, boss damage or cash, or debuffs. Stat Chips and Super Chips reroll a unit's stats, and Gear from your Pencil Case can be equipped. Open the unit in game to see the materials its evolution needs.
Medusa evolution: TBD
Notes
