Backstory
Every fast-food franchise dreams of this moment. The Fryer Flamethrower is a deep-fat fryer that has given up on food entirely and decided to pursue its true passion: making chickens very, very crispy. It sprays hot oil at the nearest chicken — a short, brutal, absolutely devastating burst that keeps burning long after the spray stops.
Short range is the only thing keeping it honest. It has to be close enough to smell the problem before it solves it, which means it lives right on the edge of the road where the flock walks. The flock has learned to give that corner a wide berth, and the fryer has learned to find that hilarious.
The burn is the real weapon. The initial spray hurts, but the ticking burn is what turns a chicken into a walking recipe. Armour Piercing Rounds make every tick bite harder, and a Fan nearby turns the whole thing into a fire-spreading catastrophe the flock cannot outrun. The fryer does not ask why it was built. It only asks what’s for dinner. The answer is always chickens.
What it’s good at
Direct damage with burn ticks — and every tick scales with Armour Piercing Rounds.
Weakness
Short range
Power-ups & upgrade paths
📈 Perks that boost it
Armour Piercing Rounds, Rapid Fire
⚡ Spread Flames
Place next to Fan Funnel: The fan blows burning chickens into their neighbours – fire spreads to every chicken in the blast zone.
🔱 SUPER fusion
Eight of this defence fuse into one SUPER unit — x10 damage and double lifetime. Only one SUPER on the board at a time; extra sets feed it to power it up.
🔧 Upgrades & buffs
Hover a tower and press U for +25 seconds of lifetime per level. Overclock boosts all damage and fire rate by 50% for 25 seconds, and when the door drops below 15% HP every tower fires 25% faster. Press H for buff mode — towers beside a SUPER boost it 5% each.
Durability
💥 Smash hits
5 hits before it falls apart. 5 smash hits and the fryer finally cools down.
🍗 Who smashes it
Demolition Drumsticks take 50–75% of a structure’s max HP per swing, and Heavy Metal Chickens and Bureaucrat Elites knock things down too.
☢️ Friendly fire
Your own Nuke and explosive chain reactions don’t care whose side it’s on — keep fragile towers out of the blast radius.
