Description[]
The Lightning is an extremely fast zombie currently being the second-fastest in the game able to reach the exit quickly. It spawns at Wave 25. Its main purpose is to disrupt late-game towers like Railgunner or Phaser by charging in front of bosses.
Appearance[]
The Lightning is a yellow figure made out of pure electricity. It is fluorescent, emitting a constant electric flow and shines a bright yellow.
Tactics[]
Defensive[]
- Flamethrowers and Hallowboomers are effective when fighting Lightnings as they slow it down by 40%, giving it a much more reasonable speed.
- The main difficulty with fighting the Lightning is that it will tank Railgunner and Phaser attacks, wasting their potential damage. Several possible ways to kill Lightnings quickly is by using any sort of fast fire rate tower.
- Another issue with lightnings is that it can get past laggy towers such as huntsman due to the fast speed.
- Lightnings can also quickly cross the entire map in seconds, Even on longer maps, allowing it to sneak past defenses. It can also be summoned by the Mystery2.
- Lots of level 4-5 railgunners can take out hordes of these on seconds.
- A maxed Cryo-Gunner can freeze Lightnings in order to help other high DPS towers deal damage to them while other high damage towers like Railgunner or Phaser dealing with other high health bosses.
Offensive[]
- It is generally not recommended to send this rush because of its low health unless your opponent is seriously lacking in any sort of consistent dps.
- It is best used to distract high-level Railgunner or Phasers (assuming the Phaser isn't locked onto another zombie), wasting huge amounts of potential damage in overkill.
- It can easily support zombies halfway across the map in seconds to add more health in a rush.
- It will not be attacked effectively by Phasers while the Phasers take to long to lock on.
- Sending Lightnings on Shorter Maps can be effective because of the slow reaction time your opponent will have to deal with them.
- Lightnings are not a viable option if they enemy team has rapid fire and/or crowd control units. The lightning zombie should be sent only if the enemy team is already struggling.
Trivia[]
- It is the second-fastest zombie in the game, its speed only being beaten by the Golden Zombie.
- Lightnings sometimes have one leg for some reason. lt could possibly be a mistake that Planet3arth made.
- Lightning is a giant spark of electricity in the atmosphere between clouds, the air, or the ground.
