What is Kernel-pult?

Kernel pult PvZ Fusion fires two types of projectiles alternately ,corn kernels that deal standard damage and pats of butter that deal less damage but stun the zombie they hit for a few seconds. This alternating attack pattern makes it both a damage dealer and a crowd controller.

The butter stun mechanic is what makes Kernel-pult valuable beyond its damage. A stunned zombie cannot move or attack while the butter effect is active, giving your other plants free damage time and letting your blockers breathe. Kernel-pult PvZ Fusion is most effective when paired with high-damage plants that make the most of the stun window.

How to Get Kernel pult
