Daikon

Daikon is the seventh plant in Neon Mixtape Tour and a Contain-mint family plant, introduced in 11.7.1 update for the Neon Mixtape Tour DLC Part 3 event alongside with Pine Rapple and Arave. He's the first plant to be unlocked in the DLC.
Daixon unleashes a barrage of powerful sound waves designed to neutralize Hair Metal Gargantuar's destructive sonic attacks. These waves travel through the ranks of zombies, delivering damage to all in their path. The zombies closest to Daixon bear the brunt of the impact, suffering significant damage, while those farther away experience a gradual reduction in harm. This strategic dispersion of sound waves ensures that Daixon effectively diminishes the threat posed by Gargantuar and his horde, protecting the lawn from imminent destruction.
== Origins ==
Daikon is based on a Daikon radish or a mooli radish (Raphanus sativus), a mild-flavored winter radish usually characterized by fast-growing leaves and a long, white, napiform root. Originally native to continental East Asia - mostly Northern China

== Upgrades ==
=== Plant Food Effect ===
Upon given a plant food, sends out powerful sound waves that erupt from random tiles on the lawn. These waves stun and damage the zombies caught in their path. 
In addition to the physical damage, the resonating frequencies can cause certain zombies to lose their musical abilities, disorienting them and reducing their effectiveness in battle. This dynamic attack ensures that Daixon not only weakens the zombie horde but also disrupts their coordination, giving plants a strategic advantage.
=== Contain-mint Effect ===
When boosted by Contain-mint, can send out multiple waves at once and also knockback zombies. Reload time will be reduced by 0.5 seconds.
=== Costumed ===
Sends out sound waves underground from the tiles in it's lane. (Similiar to it's plant food effect)
=== Mastery Upgrades ===
* Has a guaranteed chance to stun all zombies damaged by it.
* Has a slight chance to turn weak zombies into Impunks.
== Strategies ==
Frontline offense, place Daikon near the front lines where his sound waves can immediately hit and neutralize Gargantuar’s sonic attacks. His proximity to the zombies ensures maximum damage to the frontline enemies, creating an initial barrier and giving other plants more time to act. 
Area denial, utilize Daikon in combination with plants that control zombie movement, such as Spikeweeds or Potato Mines. His sound waves can soften up zombies before they reach these traps, ensuring that even the toughest foes are vulnerable by the time they encounter these additional defenses.
Support and syngergy, pair Daikon with other plants that benefit from the stuns and confusion he causes. For instance, plants like Cherry Bombs and Jalapenos can be used in conjunction with Daikon’s stun effect to maximize damage while zombies are immobilized. Additionally, defensive plants like Wall-nuts can be placed in front of Daikon to protect him while he deals consistent damage from behind.
Wave control, position Daikon in the middle of your defenses to utilize his diminishing sound wave damage effectively. This placement allows him to weaken zombies as they advance, ensuring that by the time they reach the frontline defenses, they are already significantly damaged and easier to eliminate.
