Cure-shroom

She was added along with Peaweed for a limited time on July 18th, 2023 as new premium plants that cost 100 s each. Soon after they would both be removed from the and were not made available until as exclusive seasonal plants.

==Strategy==
Cure-shroom has one of the most jarring abilities out of any plant, holding immense value with an initial shock. Although it is tempting to discard her due to the contradicting nature of her functions in comparison to the game's core premise, with patience and enough strategizing she can prove to be an insanely solid fighter. When the tide looks grueling to the attacking plants, she can deal the finishing blow in a quick timeframe.
One of Cure-shroom's most attractive features is her quick hypnotizing effect. Even though she needs a few seconds to fully heal a zombie, she will create a sturdy lane defender with extra health to fight off other threats with extra help. When zombies are piling up, and things are not looking optimistic, Cure-shroom comes into play by rapidly healing and hypnotizing a troublesome zombie to calm the hordes with an extra fighter for the plant side. From s to s, her ability has no boundaries as to what it can handle.
As intriguing as Cure-shroom gets, it is important to carry the proper plants for her to synergize properly with her allies and not cause disaster in the strategy that could set back the defense. Since she is a straight-shooting plant, try to avoid such a kind since it is easy to reach a halt between Cure-shroom's healing and the damage caused by said plants. The most optimal ways to attack other zombies without interfering with Cure-shroom's ability would be with , , or , all of which can damage zombies in a very specific range without directly affecting Cure-shroom's target and her hypnotizing.
