Saw-me-not

Fusible: yes Since V3.2

A rotating saw-blade plant that deals continuous contact damage to all zombies in its row while its blade spins, with damage increasing as more zombies are cut simultaneously.

Details

Deals 30 continuous damage per second to all zombies in its row. Damage increases by 10 DPS for each zombie present in the row simultaneously beyond the first. Maximum bonus is +50 DPS (6 simultaneous zombies = 80 total DPS). Scaling resets if the row empties between waves.

Saw-me-not operates on a scaling continuous damage mechanic: 30 base DPS increasing by 10 for each additional zombie present in its row simultaneously. With 5 zombies in the row, it deals 80 DPS total, which is exceptional sustained output for a 150 Sun plant. Place it in the middle row for maximum lane exposure. In Survival Mode, Saw-me-not in every other row creates a cutting field that scales damage with the density of zombie rushes - flag waves generate the highest damage multipliers. Pair with Garlic to funnel additional zombies into its row for higher simultaneous target counts and increased DPS. In Endless Mode, scaling DPS makes Saw-me-not increasingly powerful as zombie density climbs in later flags.

Saw-me-not is most effective against dense row formations where simultaneous zombie presence maximizes the DPS scaling. Flag wave rushes with 5-6 zombies advancing together trigger the maximum damage multiplier making it devastating against clustered advances.

✓ Strengths

Scaling DPS with zombie density makes it increasingly effective in dense rushes

Base 30 DPS scales to 80 with maximum zombie count

Continuous output means no gaps in damage unlike interval-based plants

150 Sun cost is moderate for a full-row scaling damage plant

Garlic funnel synergy maximizes simultaneous zombie count for peak DPS

✗ Weaknesses

Aerial zombies bypass the blade entirely

Single-zombie lanes only deliver base 30 DPS with no scaling benefit

Physical resistance zombies reduce effective continuous damage

800 toughness is moderate and can fall under sustained Gargantuar pressure

DPS scaling resets between waves requiring fresh zombie accumulation each flag

1 Pair with Garlic to funnel additional lanes into Saw-me-not's row for more simultaneous targets and higher DPS

2 In Endless Mode, the scaling mechanic becomes devastating at high flags where zombie density is extreme

3 Place in the middle row for full-lane cut coverage

4 Combine with Coldsnap Bean slow so zombies spend longer in the cutting zone for maximum damage accumulation

5 Protect with Pumpkin shell so it survives Gargantuar hits and continues scaling damage through heavy waves
