Ingame Description
"Nobody knows if Lucifer is a machine, a human or a ghost from hell. The fire of Lucifer can kill whole hordes of infected. It can not attack through walls but is immune to fire."
The Lucifer is one of three specialised units requiring Oil that can only be recruited from an Engineering center. The other two being the Thanatos and the Titan. It is also the only unit of the three that can be recruited without any additional research making it somewhat more easily accessible.
Lucifers are very short ranged and slow infantry units armed with flamethrowers. This allows them to deal sustained damage in a small cone shaped area in front of them allowing them to deal with large numbers of infected with small health pools simultaneously. This attribute makes them most effective at clearing out Villages of Doom and holding unfortified areas against encroaching swarms.
Unfortunately Lucifers suffer from a number of disadvantages that make them one of the lesser used units on higher difficulties. They are the only unit in the game that is unable to fire over walls making them a very poor unit for defending fortifications. They have extremely poor range and speed making them vulnerable to Venoms and Harpies, unmassed they also lack the burst to quickly kill Chubbies thus making them vulnerable to almost all the specialised zombie units. Finally they have the same cost and upkeep as the Thanatos unit which performs markedly better in all of these weak areas while having similar strengths.
