Official file: “A heat beam that slowly cooks chickens. Cooked chickens drop bonus eggs.”
The story so far

Backstory

The Rotisserie Ray is what happens when the farm’s kitchen equipment unionises and demands a role in the war effort. It is a heat beam, aimed patiently down the road, that cooks chickens slowly — low and slow, like the best barbecue, because anything worth doing is worth doing at a temperature the chicken cannot outrun.

The slow burn is the point. It is also the weakness — the beam takes time, and time is the one resource the flock never runs out of. But the farm has a favourite saying: a cooked chicken drops bonus eggs. The ray turns your defence line into a production line, and the chickens that make it through the beam arrive at the door well-done and worth more than they were before.

Every field manual notes the same quiet fact: the Rotisserie is the Demolition Drumstick’s one true fear. The drumstick that smashes walls for a living has never once stood in front of a heat beam and not reconsidered its career. Pair it with a Fan and the Firestorm kicks in — cooked chickens tumble and ignite everything they land near, and the slow burn becomes a very fast problem for the whole flock.

Power-ups & upgrade paths

📈 Perks that boost it

Armour Piercing Rounds, Rapid Fire

⚡ Firestorm

Place next to Fan Funnel: Fan-blasted cooked chickens trail fire as they tumble, igniting everything they land near.

🔱 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.

How it gets destroyed

Durability

💥 Smash hits

7 hits before it falls apart. 7 smash hits and the rotisserie stops turning.

🍗 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.
