ZYCLONE

Unholy Tempest is the 1st stage of The Rolling Dead. Next stage: Wrath of the Unholy.

STRATEGY

Zyclone is a Zombie, not a Floating enemy, and revives at full health after 4 seconds unless Z-Killed — anti-Zombie units are all but required.

  • Either Z-Kill it or sneak fast units behind it while it is down; the support makes the second option hard, so a high-level Holy Blast helps a lot.
  • Its slow speed and low range make knockback and freeze crippling — use them, and shield those units from the other Zombies.
  • Destroy the base before the Zang Roos appear unless you have counters ready.
  • Anti-Zombie Ubers are the direct route; the stage is all Zombies, so nothing is wasted.

Zombie Revives Area

Like most Cyclones, Zyclone is slow and short-ranged, but has unmatched attack rate, health, and DPS. He revives infinitely with 4 seconds between revives, but can't burrow, and isn't a Floating enemy either.
