Details
fires lasers with infinite piercing across the entire lane. Its damage decreases with distance, but increases based on the Lumos Level.
Each Lumos Level boosts its damage by 0.5×.
Damage is further modified by the distance between itself and the target: it is increased by 1.6 × (5 − the column difference), or by 0.8 × (10 − the column difference) when at Lumos Level 3 or higher.
Pros
- High area efficiency — Each attack cycle can hit several zombies, generating far more total damage than its base cost implies.
- Wave specialist — Peak performance during the high-density flag-wave moments when zombie clusters are largest.
- Burst damage — 10 x 1.6 x (5 - column distance to the target) x (1 + 0.5 x [[Effects burst clears weaker zombie types immediately on contact.
Cons
- Single-zombie waste — Area damage is overkill when targeting lone zombies in empty lanes.
- Moderate durability — 300 requires a wall plant in front to survive long enough for multiple attack cycles.
- Timing critical — Peak value requires timing placement around incoming dense waves, not pre-placed broadly.
1
Hold off placing Ray-shroom until you see a large flag wave incoming — peak enemy density maximizes each explosion's hit count.
2
Pair with a slow plant like a snow variety to push clustered zombies tightly together before Ray-shroom fires.
3
In large maps, a single Ray-shroom placed centrally can cover zombies approaching from multiple adjacent lanes simultaneously.
4
Protect it with two columns of plants in front so it fires at least four cycles before being threatened directly.
What is Ray-shroom in Plants vs Zombies Fusion?
Ray-shroom is a Common fusion plant created by combining two base plants in Plants vs Zombies Fusion. Common fusions like $name are accessible across most game modes and remain competitive throughout the game.
What does Ray-shroom cost?
Ray-shroom requires 175 Sun to plant. Building a strong sun economy early in a level — through sun-producing fusions or quick early waves — ensures you can place Ray-shroom when needed without resource pressure.
Which zombies does Ray-shroom target?
Ray-shroom focuses its attacks on Ground, Water Zombies 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 Ray-shroom compared to other fusions?
Ray-shroom 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.
