Snow Lotus

Fusible: yes Since V3.0
A delicate arctic flower that continuously generates a chilling aura slowing all zombies in its 3x3 area and periodically releasing ice petals that stack cryo points across the zone.

Details
Passively applies 20% movement slow to all zombies within its 3x3 aura continuously. Every 3 seconds, fires an ice petal burst dealing 10 damage and 1 cryo point to all zombies in the 3x3 zone. Cryo stacks with Coldsnap Bean and Pearmafrost effects for accelerated freezing.
Snow Lotus generates a constant 20% movement slow to all zombies in its 3x3 aura and fires petal bursts every 3 seconds dealing 10 damage and 1 cryo point to all targets in range. Its area coverage makes it superior to Coldsnap Bean in dense multi-zombie scenarios. In Survival Mode, a Snow Lotus in the center of a zombie cluster maintains a grid-wide slow while stacking cryo points across all adjacent lanes. Pair with Pearmafrost and Coldsnap Bean for a triple cryo stack that freezes zombies extremely rapidly. The 3x3 aura covers 9 tiles simultaneously, making it one of the best crowd-control plants for standard grid-width stages. At 125 Sun, it is an efficient cryo field generator that keeps zombie advance slow and cryo points building at all times.
Snow Lotus is most effective in the center of dense zombie clusters where the 3x3 aura slows and stacks cryo across maximum targets simultaneously. Gargantuar variants moving through the aura have their advance significantly slowed and accumulate cryo rapidly from the combined aura and petal sources.
Strengths
3x3 continuous slow aura covers 9 tiles simultaneously
Passive 20% slow immediately affects any zombie entering the zone
Petal bursts stack cryo across all targets in the area simultaneously
Cryo stacks with all other cryo sources for rapid freeze accumulation
125 Sun is efficient for a 9-tile crowd-control plant
Weaknesses
Cold-immune zombies negate both slow and cryo
Aerial zombies bypass all aura effects
10 damage per petal is low and cannot solo tough zombies
Requires other cryo plants to fully exploit the accumulated freeze potential
600 toughness is moderate - requires backup to survive in the center zone
1 Place in the absolute center of the grid to cover all 5 lanes with the 3x3 aura
2 Pair with Pearmafrost and Coldsnap Bean for triple cryo stacking that freezes any zombie in under 5 seconds
3 Back with Melon-pult to burst down fully frozen zombies with heavy arc damage
4 In Endless Mode, Snow Lotus plus cryo support creates a freeze-burst loop effective at any flag count
5 Protect with Pumpkin shell so the 3x3 aura remains active through heavy wave pressure
