Lightning Fryer (spelt as Lightning Frier prior to Ultimate Omelette) is a weapon introduced in Revenge of the Yolk, and the first auto-locking weapon in the Chicken Invaders series.


Strategy

It can deliver 1.21 gigawatts of pure energy directly to the nearest unfortunate foe. In higher power levels, multiple targets can be tracked independently. It also has auto-locking and a slow overheat rate. Auto-locking, however, can also lock on targets that don't deal damage to bosses. Its other disadvantage is that it's very weak on low power levels.

It's available from Chapter 3 in Revenge of the Yolk, and from Chapter 2 in subsequent games. It is available from the start in Universe.

Pros

  • Auto-locks on enemies and deals continuous damage.
  • Can target multiple enemies at higher power levels, unlike other auto-lock weapons.
    • On top of being able to auto-lock onto multiple enemies, it's beams of lightning can chain onto even more targets in Chicken Invaders Universe. Further extending it's ability to kill crowds of targets precisely. Damage reduces with each additional target hit by the chain.
  • Hard to overheat.

Cons

It's a member of the Lightning group, so it has its weaknesses and strengths.
