Life Cap

Life Cap is the eighth plant obtained in Grove of Gloom in Plants vs. Zombies: Lost World, after beating Level 16A. Life Cap explodes in a 3×3 area when planted, healing all plants caught in the blast for 50% of their health. Life Cap also gives all mushrooms caught in the blast regenerative effects, each type of mushroom getting a unique effect, and instead of healing by 50%, they heal to full. The following is the list of regenerative effects that the different types of mushrooms gain:
*Puff-shroom - Regains 30 seconds of its lifespan.
*Sun-shroom - The next time it gives sun, the sun will have regenerative effects. This sun will affect your whole sun bank, and the regenerative effect lasts for 20 seconds, and any mushroom that is planted during the duration of the effect will gain regenerative effects.
*Fume-shroom - Any plants that get caught in Fume-shroom's spores get healed by 75 DPS (Fume-shroom now can still shoot out spores even when there are no zombies in his range). This effect wears off after 20 seconds.
*Magnet-shroom - Upon attracting a metal object, Magnet-shroom will eat up the object to slowly gain metal armour. Every object gives a total of 300 DPS of armour to Magnet-shroom. This effect wears off after absorbing the fourth metal object fully.
*Scaredy-shroom - When Scaredy-shroom comes out of hiding, it heals itself to full.
*Huff-shroom - Same as Fume-shroom, except the effect only applies for Huff-shroom's next attack, heals plants for 750 DPS, and can stack with other effects sucked up by Huff-shroom.
*Hypno-shroom - The zombie who eats it gains regenerative abilities, healing for (excluding armour) 200 DPS every time it defeats a zombie.
*Mushroof - If Mushroof's stem has not gained any damage for 15 seconds, Mushroof's stem heals for 750 DPS. If Mushroof's cap has not gained any damage for 15 seconds, Mushroof's cap heals for 2 Gargantuar hits.
*Dusk-shroom - Same as Sun-shroom, and Dusk-shroom's current 'growth' stage lasts 30 seconds longer.
*Gloom-shroom - Same as Fume-shroom.
*Ghost Fungus - Same as Hypno-shroom.
*Master Fung Shui - Master Fung Shui's energy spores can now heal any plants it passes by (Master Fung Shui now also shoots energy spores even when there are no zombies in his range). If Master Fung Shui isn't in an energy cluster, each energy spore heals plants by 75 DPS, 25 DPS if he's in a red energy cluster, and 125 DPS if he's in a white energy cluster. This regenerative effect will wear off after 15 seconds, or 25 seconds if he's in a white energy cluster.

==Strategies==
Life Cap has a self-explanatory use; being the only plant that can heal other plants in the game as of its release, she's mainly used for maintaining defenses that are near collapse, best used on defensive plants on the frontlines that defend other offensive plants behind them. Similarly to how Death Cap's poison works, Life Cap can also give mushrooms regenerative effects, each effect being beneficial in its own ways. One of the best situations in which she can be used is when you’re playing a level where the majority of the plants you choose are mushrooms, since Life Cap can alternatively be used to make your mushrooms more powerful (putting her in the middle of your defense can significantly upgrade your mushrooms in different ways).
