Garlic Pot functions as a specialized planting surface that reduces bite damage received by any garlic-type plant resting on top of it to a maximum of 10 per bite, offering superior protection compared to placing garlic plants directly on soil. This damage reduction allows garlic hybrids to survive far longer in heavily contested lanes.
Like other Flower Pot fusion variants, Garlic Pot benefits from a shortened glove cooldown of only 3 seconds when moved, versus the standard 10 seconds for most plants. This mobility advantage lets you quickly reposition the entire Garlic Pot and its passenger to wherever the zombie threat is most acute without a long recovery penalty.
Additionally, Garlic Pot inherits the lane-diversion aura of its garlic component, nudging zombies that try to bite it toward the center row of the board. Because of its small profile, straight-shooting projectiles from certain zombie types pass over it without dealing damage, giving it passive evasion against a significant category of ranged threats.
