Zombie Titans Flyer Enemies: Screechers, Gasbags, Carriers

Flying enemies decide more Zombie Titans losses than raw Behemoth health. OMG - One More Games built an eight-player Roblox siege where ground clear is only half the job. Screechers, Gasbags, and Carriers pressure the sky, yank cameras off the wall, and cancel the burn windows that should delete the gate-smasher. This guide is the air playbook: what each flyer does, which titan answers it, how pressure changes from March through Surge into Behemoth, and which callouts stop silent lobbies from wiping.

If you are brand new, skim Getting Started first. If aim and cockpit toggle feel clumsy, fix controls before blaming the kit. Pair this page with beat the Behemoth for boss timing and titan builds for hangar spends that fund anti-air tools. Meta snapshots live on the titans tier list and the tier list hub.

Why flyers win sieges

A gate rarely falls only because the Behemoth body lived too long. Gates fall because:

• Peel pilots tunnel into ground trash while air chews free.
• Burn pilots refuse to glance up during carpet or berserk windows.
• Nobody calls Carrier approach until the drop already lands.
• The lobby treats March flyers as optional XP instead of early discipline practice.

Scrap from kills, victories, daily supply drops, and the one-time 1,000 Scrap group bonus funds hangar upgrades that make peel easier — but scrap cannot replace assigned eyes on the sky. As of November 2026 there are still no confirmed promo codes; farm honestly via scrap farming and check codes only when OMG posts a string.

Threat roles at a glance

Treat the three flyer types as three different jobs, not one “shoot birds” bucket.

Flyer	Job against you	Your default answer
Screecher	Distraction peel — forces camera flicks, punishes lane tunnel vision	Continuous AA + short peel calls
Gasbag	Denial — pressures space so pilots leave good wall angles	Interrupt / splash denial before it parks
Carrier	Priority delivery — dumps extra problems into bad positions	Hard focus the moment it commits

Triage rule used by strong lobbies: Carrier > Gasbag about to deny a burn angle > Screecher chewing a distracted lane > distant noise. Judgment beats both “ignore all air” and “panic peel everything.”

Screechers — peel and punish distraction

Screechers exist to make you look away. They punish pilots who lock third-person on ground March packs and never flick cockpit for leads. Early Screechers in March are cheap lessons: miss them and you only take chip; miss them in Surge and you create a hole the Behemoth later walks through.

How to answer Screechers:

• Keep primary fire warm on the wall line so you can snap up without “warming up.”
• Assign at least one peel voice — often Volt or Bulldog — who calls “Screechers left/right” instead of assuming everyone sees them.
• Do not empty every cooldown on the first Screecher pack. Save EMP, slam, bombs, and berserk for denser windows unless the gate is already screaming.

Gasbags — deny space and break angles

Gasbags win by making your optimal Behemoth angle feel unsafe. Pilots step off the wall, lose sightlines, and then the burn team collapses into chaotic third-person panic. Gasbag denial is less about one kill and more about refusing to let them park where they force a retreat.

How to answer Gasbags:

• Kill or interrupt them before they settle on the angle your Mammoth wants for carpet.
• Use splash and Tesla-style denial to scrub the corridor rather than single-target greed when packs clump.
• If a Gasbag forces a reposition, announce it: “Angle lost — peel then burn.” Silent repositioning is how focus fire dies.

Carriers — highest priority air threat

Carriers are the flyer that ends holds. A successful Carrier during Behemoth burn cancels focus, dumps adds into bad spots, and frees the boss to smash the gate. Many “we had DPS” wipes are actually Carrier neglect with a Behemoth costume.

How to answer Carriers:

• Call them the second you see commit: “Carrier mid” beats a paragraph of strategy.
• Hard focus with cockpit leads. Flex a second peel if the first miss happens.
• Mantis interrupt / delete tools and Volt EMP windows are excellent Carrier answers when the burn team must stay on the boss body.
• Never finish a vanity ground kill while a Carrier finishes its delivery animation near the wall.

Which titans excel at flyer control

Use kits as roles. Full upgrade order lives in titan builds; this section is air-job mapping for Bulldog, Volt, Mammoth, and Mantis.

Volt — EMP, Tesla, pack peel

Volt is the default flyer specialist. Chain-lightning and lightning strikes punish clumps. Tesla field denies space near the wall. EMP pulse is the high-value interrupt when a Gasbag pack or Carrier commit needs a hard reset so burn pilots can breathe. If your public lobby keeps dying to air, someone should be on Volt with peel priority — see also the titans tier list.

Bulldog — continuous AA and missile flex

Bulldog’s twin gatlings are honest anti-air uptime. Rocket pods and swarm missiles scrub Screecher packs and help Gasbag denial when you lead shots in cockpit. Ground slam is still a wall-breach tool, not your first flyer button, but Bulldog’s strength is flex: peel air one second, dump rockets into Behemoth the next. In thin lobbies without Volt, Bulldog is the AA backbone.

Mammoth — splash that must stay disciplined

Mammoth splash from mortars and carpet bombs can erase flyer clumps — and also erase your Behemoth economy if you panic-bomb every Screecher in March. Use Mammoth air tools when:

• Surge density threatens the gate corridor, or
• A called peel needs splash because singles are too slow.

Do not spend carpet on empty March dirt “for practice.” Announce when bombs are down so peel assignments change.

Mantis — interrupt and priority delete

Mantis is the emergency surgeon. Blade dashes and leap strikes delete the Carrier or Gasbag that would cancel a Mammoth window. Berserk swings tempo when the sky already failed once. Many winning lobbies have Mantis clean the first three seconds of Behemoth chaos before joining full burn. Mobility is not permission to chase flyers into deep map vanity — die near the objective if you must die.

March vs Surge vs Behemoth flyer pressure

Same three flyer names, three different intensities.

March — build habits, not highlight reels

March flyers are probes. Goals:

• Practice cockpit leads without emptying cooldowns.
• Learn which teammates actually look up.
• Keep the gate untouched so Surge starts healthy.

Greedy March EMP or carpet spends are Behemoth losses wearing a March costume.

Surge — the real flyer exam

Surge densifies air. This is where lobbies crack. Priorities:

1. Call Screechers, Gasbags, and Carriers early.
2. Hold a dedicated peel pilot (Volt/Bulldog preferred).
3. Protect Behemoth-defining cooldowns unless the wall is already failing.
4. Reset camera: cockpit for air leads, third-person for multi-lane awareness.

Winning Surge with clean air is half of beating Behemoth. Losing Surge means the boss arrives to a chewed gate and empty buttons — covered end-to-end in beat the Behemoth.

Behemoth — assigned peel, not everyone looking up

When the Behemoth commits:

• Burn team locks boss damage.
• Peel team owns Screechers, Gasbags, Carriers.
• Flex swaps if a Carrier lands or a Gasbag steals the burn angle.

Unassigned “everyone shoot the big thing” still loses eight-player gates. Flyer triage during the burn window: peel anything about to create gate damage or cancel Mammoth/Mantis burst; ignore distant harmless noise for a three-second volley finish.

Callouts that work in public lobbies

Short beats clever. Cross-platform servers (PC, mobile, tablet, console) need clear targets more than essay strategy.

Useful script:

1. “March — save EMP/bombs.”
2. “Surge — Volt/Bulldog on air.”
3. “Gasbags left — deny now.”
4. “Carrier mid — hard focus.”
5. “Behemoth — peel assigned, burn on mark.”
6. “No EMP — Bulldog/Mantis cover air.”

If you are mobile or console and cannot flick as fast as PC, say so once: “Need louder Carrier calls.” Strong PC pilots should call earlier, not mock slower aim. The players hub and Hall of Fame reward consistent holds, not silent ego.

Common mistakes

• Treating all flyers as equal priority.
• Ignoring March air “because it is easy,” then having no peel habit in Surge.
• Burning EMP/carpet on the first Screecher wave.
• Four Mammoths and zero peel plan in a public eight-stack.
• Chasing Carriers off the wall into deep map deaths.
• Refusing cockpit view for air leads because third-person feels cinematic.
• Blaming “no codes” or scrap poverty when the wipe was Carrier neglect — hangar power helps, discipline wins.

Prep that makes peel easier

• Fund Volt EMP / Tesla or Bulldog missiles via titan builds after survivability and primary fire feel honest.
• Keep scrap flowing with dailies and the group bonus — scrap farming.
• Confirm binds and cockpit toggle on controls.
• Watch updates / launch notes for enemy or kit changes.
• Return to the Guides Hub when you need sibling tactics.

Mindset

Flyers are not side content. Screechers peel your attention, Gasbags deny your angles, and Carriers deliver the wipe that looks like a Behemoth problem. Assign peel, call early, spend cooldowns on Surge and Behemoth windows that matter, and let hangar scrap amplify habits you already practice. Do that, and the sky stops stealing gates your burn team already earned.
