Cons
- No specialist peak — Cannot match the ceiling output of specialized fusions in their ideal matchup.
- Protection dependent — 300 needs at least one defensive plant in front for sustained multi-wave use.
- Endgame limitations — Specialist and premium fusions eventually outpace Torchflower in advanced content.
