Lightning Reed

Locks onto the toughest target, then hurts more with every hit.

Lore

Lightning Reed focuses on the zombie with the most HP nearby or in its lane, and it will not change targets until that target is defeated. Even if the target leaves range, it keeps attacking unless the target becomes invincible, disappears, or turns friendly.

Its damage grows with each attack on the same target until the target is defeated. Apparently, Lightning Reed's fried chicken is excellent. Someone even borrows sun every seven days to buy it, which is certainly a routine of some kind.
