For information about the human unit, see: Builder Abby.

Abby is an infected dressed in a torn gray tank top, black pants, a brown belt, and a gray glove. She is partially decaying with a few patches of skin rotting into a darker color. She has an Insectoid-like physique, becoming lankier, growing an extra pair of limbs on her back and side, and one of her arms turning arthropod-like. She has a blue eye.

Overview

Abby is a special zombie. It possesses a unique ability to pounce onto units who utilize ranged attacks as their primary source of damage. This ability has a random, but relatively high, chance of activating whenever Abby detects at least one suitable target present on the battlefield. Targets are chosen at random. When landing, Abby deals 100 damage to all units in a tiny radius around it, while also having a brief invincibility period. It always tries to land a little to the right of its target.

If a unit manages to walk past Abby while it's in the middle of its landing animation, the zombie will turn around and go after them, as a result forcing their target to turn either. Abby is able to target units regardless of whether they are standing in front or behind it. The only condition under which Abby can't target units is if they are standing inside of the Bus' hitbox.

Strategy

Besides some visual similarities, Abby fights almost identically to Insectoid as well, so methods of dealing with them are similar. The only thing that differentiates them is Abby's notably slower attack speed and base damage. This can make her less of a threat in a lot of scenarios since she provides a larger room for error when it comes to deploying Medkits or sending out melee units for support.

Bugs

• If Abby is the last enemy in an Endless Bridge wave and jumps, it'll count as killing all the enemies and begins transitioning to the next wave or finishing the span.

Trivia

• For a long period of time, Abby wasn't present in any of regular missions, with Builder Abby's death being the main method to encounter this zombie. This only changed with the introduction of Harvest Day, in which it appears as one of the enemies.
  • Abby appeared in regular missions for the first time only after the expansion of stage 8 in update 4.1.0.
