Details
Sardine-shroom costs 150 Sun, holds 300 toughness, and fires every 1.5s with blast damage reaching range: 2.5 Tiles for 20×2 (initial)
against Water Zombies zombies. The explosive spread means each firing cycle potentially contacts multiple zombies simultaneously, making it highly efficient during dense wave moments.
In levels where zombies arrive in large clusters or flag waves, Sardine-shroom’s effective DPS per cycle significantly exceeds what a single-target shooter of similar cost would achieve.
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 — 20x2 (initial)
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 Sardine-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 Sardine-shroom fires.
3
In large maps, a single Sardine-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.
