Details
Sparkwood costs 300 Sun, carries 300 toughness, and fires at variable intervals within its attack range targeting all zombies for . Electric arc damage automatically chains to adjacent zombies within range, delivering simultaneous multi-target hits with each attack cycle.
The scaling nature of chain damage rewards lane setups that keep zombies moving slowly and bunched. A well-positioned Sparkwood in a lane with a slow plant in front becomes disproportionately more powerful as wave size increases.
Pros
- Multi-target chains — Each attack arc-chains to adjacent zombies at no additional sun cost.
- Instantaneous impact — No travel time ensures full damage lands even on fast-moving zombie types.
- Cluster reward — The more zombies in range, the higher the effective return per attack.
Cons
- Spread enemy weakness — Chain advantage disappears when enemies are spaced beyond arc range.
- Medium toughness — 300 requires defensive support to survive multi-wave encounters.
- Density dependency — Below-average in levels with consistently spread-out zombie arrival patterns.
1
Plant Sparkwood in the lane with the consistently densest zombie traffic to maximize arc chain frequency over the full run.
2
Use a slow or wall plant ahead of Sparkwood to keep enemies in tight formation within arc chain range.
3
Avoid deploying Sparkwood in lanes where zombies reliably arrive spaced out — in that configuration a simpler single-target shooter will outperform it.
4
Watching how zombies cluster in the first wave tells you which lane will give Sparkwood the highest chain hit rate for the rest of the level.
