can catch any kind of star projectile flying in a 5×5 tile area around itself, minus the corners. It can hold a maximum of 60 star projectiles at a time.
The star projectiles caught will hover around for 1.5 seconds, after which will launch the projectile to the nearest zombie, or a random direction if there are no zombies present.
The star projectiles caught and launched by will deal ×3 damage and fly ×2 faster, and will gain the ability to retarget another zombie when their initial target is dead.

Pros
- Consistent lane coverage — every fires every 1.5 Seconds keeps steady pressure on the zombie approach path.
- Broad applicability — No specialized condition needed; works in virtually every level type.
- Fusion value — Parent-plant combination creates a stronger attack profile than either plant alone.
Cons
- Generalist ceiling — Lacks the peak power spike of specialist fusions in their ideal conditions.
- Protective dependency — 300 requires wall support to reliably fire for multiple full waves.
- Outpaced in endgame — Specialist fusions eventually outperform Pulsar in the scenarios they were designed for.
1
Assign Pulsar to your primary zombie lane each level for maximum attack-cycle utilization throughout the run.
2
A single wall plant in front keeps Pulsar safely firing from a protected position across multiple wave cycles.
3
Check the active Lumos level bonuses — if any match Pulsar's attack type, the multiplier can dramatically increase its effective DPS.
4
Refresh your knowledge of Pulsar's recipe before long sessions — replanting mid-wave requires knowing the parent plants instantly.
What is Pulsar in Plants vs Zombies Fusion?
Pulsar is a Odyssey fusion plant created by combining two base plants in Plants vs Zombies Fusion. It is exclusive to Odyssey mode, where its enhanced performance matches the elevated difficulty of Odyssey encounters.
What does Pulsar cost?
Pulsar carries no standard sun cost because it is an Odyssey-exclusive fusion, unlocked through Odyssey mode progression rather than sun spending.
Which zombies does Pulsar target?
Pulsar focuses its attacks on all zombies. Use this knowledge to pre-assign it to whichever lane or row contains the highest concentration of those zombie types in each level.
How tough is Pulsar compared to other fusions?
Pulsar has 300 toughness, which places it in the mid-range of the fusion toughness scale. Pair it with a healing plant or defensive buffer to extend its operational lifespan across multiple consecutive waves.
