Zombie Abilities in PVZ Fusion
Each zombie type in PVZ Fusion comes with distinct abilities that require players to adapt their strategies:
Movement Types
Zombies can vary in speed from very fast (like the Streaker) to slow (like the Gargantuar Mutant). Understanding these speeds helps players anticipate threats.
Special Actions
Some zombies have unique interactions with plants:
- Stunning Abilities: The Streaker can temporarily disable plants, forcing players to rethink their defenses.
- Shielding Mechanisms: Armored Zombies absorb damage with their shields, requiring high-damage or armor-piercing plants to counter effectively.
Unique Traits
Flying Capability: The Flying Zombie bypasses ground defenses entirely, necessitating air-targeting plants.
Summoning Power: Bungee Zombies can introduce additional threats by dropping other zombies onto the lawn.
Strategic Implications
The introduction of these new zombie types significantly alters gameplay dynamics:
Classic Zombies
The game features many familiar faces from the original Plants vs. Zombies series. These classic zombies serve as the foundation of the zombie hordes, each bringing their own characteristics and challenges. Some of the notable classic zombies include:
Basic Zombie
The quintessential zombie, slow but persistent.
Conehead Zombie
A tougher variant that can absorb more damage.
Buckethead Zombie
Even more resilient, thanks to its protective bucket.
These classic zombies provide a nostalgic experience while still posing a threat to players.
