Details
shoots magnetic cactus thorns that deal 40 damage to zombies and have a few special properties:
Deals x2 (80) damage to zombies wearing metal objects and metallic zombies.
Deals x12.5 (500) damage to iron balloons.
Hitting airships a certain amount of times either with or (or both) will cause it to crash, dealing 1000 damage to zombies nearby the crash site. The amount of hits needed is listed below:
: 3 hits.
: 10 hits.
/ : 20 hits.
: 30 hits.
: 40 hits.
Pros
- Steady damage output — 40 (normal)
per every 1.5s provides consistent lane pressure without situational conditions. - Good range — over a range of In front coverage keeps zombies engaged from an early, safe distance.
- Fusion balance — Inherits complementary traits from both parent plants for a well-rounded attack profile.
Cons
- Lacks specialization — No standout mechanic gives it an edge in the scenarios where specialist fusions shine.
- Needs support — 300 toughness requires at least one tanky plant in front to stay healthy.
- Mid-range ceiling — Competitive with common threats but outclassed by premium fusions in endgame content.

2
A wall plant directly in front of Magneto-cactus in the same row keeps it firing from a protected position for multiple waves.
3
Review any Lumos level bonuses active in your current run — bonus damage types may amplify Magneto-cactus's output significantly.

Have a spare copy of Magneto-cactus's recipe ready to replant mid-wave if it falls during a particularly heavy push.
