Official file: “Launches unstable eggs that explode on impact. Chain reactions included.”
The story so far

Backstory

The Eggsploder is what happens when the farm’s kitchen and the farm’s artillery share a lab. It launches unstable eggs — eggs that have been through a lot, eggs that are ready to make a point — and they explode on impact. The box doesn’t say “handle with care”. The box says “chain reactions included”, which the farm’s insurance adjuster read exactly once before retiring.

The egg lands, the egg detonates, and everything around the impact zone has a very bad moment. AoE explosion on impact, every time, with the kind of reliability the farm wishes its other appliances had. The flock has learned to give the Eggsploder’s lane a wide berth, because the eggs do not negotiate and they do not apologise.

Its weakness is honest: slow reload, and the chains are unpredictable. One egg can set off another, which is wonderful when the chain runs through the flock and slightly less wonderful when it runs through your own line. Bigger Bangs makes every landing bigger, and Rapid Fire helps the slow reload. The farm’s motto for the Eggsploder: aim away from anything you like.

Power-ups & upgrade paths

📈 Perks that boost it

Bigger Bangs, Rapid Fire

🔱 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 last egg finally lands.

🍗 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.
