is sub-species of .

But it’s doesn’t target zombies automatically, is manually clicked needed, like as .
Attacks will consume the current heat energy to fire Magma Butter at every zombie within its range, with each projectile consuming 100 heat energy.
Pros
- Crowd-clearing power — Hits multiple zombies per blast, outstanding in dense waves.
- Burst damage — 450 per cycle eliminates low-toughness zombies immediately.
- Flag-wave specialist — Peak value during mass-spawn rounds where enemy density is highest.
Cons
- Sparse-wave inefficiency — Area advantage is lost when only one zombie stands in its lane at a time.
- Needs protection — 3000 requires a defensive buffer to operate across multiple waves.
- Burst reliance — Missing the peak density window reduces its effective DPS substantially.
