Fireweed (World Tour)

Fireweed is a plant unlocked in Plants vs. Zombies: World Tour. She attacks by spitting small fireballs at the zombies that deal splash damage, but will grow into a more mature form like Sun-shroom to burn the ground beneath the zombies. As a fire plant, Fireweed is immune to freezing and can thaw out other plants; and as a weed plant she can be planted over stone tiles, train tracks and scorched tiles.
==Origins==
She is based on the plant in Plants vs. Zombies Heroes with the same name and appearance. Her ability when fully grown is similar to her ability to create Hot Lava from the card game.

== Strategies ==
Fireweed is a cheap and effective plant to use in early stages of the game. With a low sun cost and short range, it's easily comparable to plants such as Fume-shroom although their offensive capabilities are drastically different. Fireweed is much better as a frontline attacker, best suited sitting behind a defensive plant like Wall-nut, Bonk Choy or Chomper so she can warm them up while providing them with ample support from incoming zombies and freezing winds. Having multiple Fireweeds in a lane isn't a bad idea, although it's recommended to use additional offensive plants as they might not be able to destroy everything and cannot harm flying zombies when fully grown.
As a fire plant, Fireweed can deal 15% more damage to metal zombies and structures, as well as chilled and frozen zombies and other ice structures; but her fiery powers are not as effective against stone zombies and structures or zombies swimming in water or when it's raining. Maple Bomb and Sap-fling are best paired with this plant as their sap and maple syrup cause zombies to take even MORE damage from fire, and Fireweed's burning tiles can deal a lot of damage. As a weed plant, she has more use in countries with stone tiles such as China, Greece and Australia as she can be planted directly on top of them; and as a 75 cost plant she can be used quite frequently in night levels, almost serving as an alternative to Fume-shroom especially during the day.
