The Jailbird

He's the only prisoner to escape the prison incident in one piece, at least he's free now...

Summary

The Jailbird is an excellent late-game unit, having a lot of perks all the melee units wish they had, but you shouldn't let him die at any circusmtances, because if he does, you will have a much bigger problem in your hands...

If you don't have good units to combat Cranks but want to bring Jailbird anyways, it is recommended to bring Medkit to keep him alive and Red Barrel or Molotov to burn his body before he rises once again.

Pros

  • Excellent hand to hand combat.
  • Can dodge enemy attacks (10 % chance recommended).
  • Can push enemies back.
  • Direct upgrade of chopper.
  • Receives full Stun Resistance when Special is bought (ex:Willy's tazer or blue zombies).

Cons

  • Very expensive (coin and courage wise).
  • Tuns into a horrifying Crank upon death.
  • Terrible at Skirmish.
