Butcher

" 'Ahh, stale meat! Heals himself with each attack and drops delicious Zom-BBQ when he dies (again).' "

Overview
The Butcher is an epic unit unlocked in Downtown Decay.

In combat
The Butcher is a high cost tanky unit with the ability to heal itself and other units. It already has high health, low damage, and good movement, but its lifesteal and Zom-BBQ make it unique. Whenever the Butcher attacks, it will heal itself. This includes regular attacks and counterattacks. Even if the Butcher's damage is increased by Nemo or Warp, it will always heal itself for the same amount. Another trait of the Butcher is that it drops a Zom-BBQ instead of a regular Gel-Drop when it dies. The Zom-BBQ functions identically to a Gel-Drop, providing 1 Gel to its collector, but also heals the unit collecting it for a large amount. The enemy can claim the health as well, so be careful.

Achievements
The Butcher's achievement is:"Heal health with the BUTCHER."

Tips
The Butcher has plenty of ways to heal, whether it's himself or your units. His high health makes sure that he can attack (and therefore heal) at least 1 enemy. Paired with Med-Bot, your opponent is going to need a lot of damage to take him down. Additionally, the Zom-BBQ he drops can provide a huge heal to any durable units or SENSOs of your own. Just be cautious of your opponent taking advantage of it too.

At tournament standard
The Butcher has 262 health and 118 damage at level 1, killing these units in one shot, ignoring armor or evasion:
