Official file: “Sucks feathers off chickens. They slow down. Fully plucked ones panic and run backwards.”
The story so far

Backstory

The Feather Vacuum began as a perfectly reasonable household appliance and became the flock’s worst nightmare. It sucks feathers off chickens — not hard enough to hurt, just hard enough to humiliate. The flock’s confidence is directly proportional to its plumage, and the vacuum knows this. It targets the confident ones.

The effect is twofold. First, the chicken slows down — every lost feather is a little more drag, a little less dignity. Second, and this is the important part: a fully plucked chicken panics and runs backwards. Not away. Backwards. Into the towers, into the traps, into whatever the farm has waiting, because the flock’s number one rule is that nobody sees a plucked chicken heading the right way.

Its weakness is honest: very low damage. The vacuum is a confidence weapon, not a kill weapon — it strips the flock down and lets everything else do the talking. Chaos Marketing makes the panic last longer, and Rapid Fire keeps the suction steady. The farm’s only complaint is the noise. The farm’s only noise complaint is the chickens, screaming.

Power-ups & upgrade paths

📈 Perks that boost it

Chaos Marketing, 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

6 hits before it falls apart. 6 smash hits and the vacuum finally sucks its last feather.

🍗 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.
