Details
Like both of its parents, adopts the characteristics of both being a defensive plant and an attacking plant. It shoots a small rolling nut every 1.5 seconds that deals 20 damage to the target. Additionally, the projectile has a unique trait where it can pierce through other targets infinitely.
Pros
- Exceptional toughness — 4000 durability absorbs an enormous amount of damage before breaking.
- Amplifies backline damage — Stalling zombies gives offensive plants more total attacks before threat elimination.
- Broadly applicable — Works as a defensive anchor in virtually any level type or zombie set.
Cons
- Minimal active damage — 20 is not enough to clear zombies without dedicated damage plants behind it.
- Bypassed by specials — Aerial, burrowing, and vaulting zombies circumvent its blocking entirely.
- Passive dependency — Requires correct pre-placement; cannot reposition once zombies are in lane.
1
Column 3 gives zombies the farthest stall distance from the lawn exit — plant Peanut there whenever possible.
2
Pair with an Aloe or healing variant behind it to sustainably repair Peanut's toughness across long wave sequences.
3
Keep a duplicate in your planting queue so that when Peanut falls you can immediately replant without a defensive gap.
4
Address flying and vaulting zombies with separate lane-appropriate plants — Peanut cannot block them.
