Mushroof (PvZH)

For the version in Plants vs. Zombies Lost World, see Mushroof.
Mushroof is an event card in Plants vs. Zombies Heroes, and a member of the  class. He costs 2 to play and has 6. He has the Team-Up trait, and his ability ensures that any damage that is dealt to him can only deal a maximum of 3 damage at a time.
== Origins ==
Mushroof is based on the plant with the same name in Plants vs. Zombies Lost World. His ability somewhat references how he can defend well against high-damaging smashes from a Gargantuar in the game he originates from. Mushroof's name is a portmanteau of the words ‘mushroom’ and ‘roof’.

=== Card description ===
It's not easy carrying a huge piece of metal on top of you that's four times the size of your stem.

=== With ===
Mushroof has the same function as Wall-nut and Water Chestnut, that being protect other plants or the Plant Hero from zombies. He is essentially a Wall-nut, but costing 1 more in exchange for the ability to reduce any damage dealt to it higher than 3​​ to just 3​​. This ability alone makes him really effective in tanking high damage attacks compared to most other cards like the aforementioned Wall-nut and other similar cards, since, no matter the damage output of a zombie in its lane or of a trick, Mushroof is guaranteed to survive the hit assuming his is not lower than 4 (on its own, it can survive two hits from a zombie with ​​ higher than 3 provided that it is unaffected by anything else). This makes Mushroof just as effective in the late-game as he is in the early-game, as the amount of damage that he would absorb from high zombies is similar to zombies whose is not as high.
Despite his ability, however, Mushroof is still just as vulnerable to instant-kills (e.g. Rolling Stone) as most other defensive plants, so the player will still need to be weary. If you're playing as Grass Knuckles, you can pair Umbrella Leaf with Mushroof to give him the Untrickable trait if you're not feeling confident, making him immune to instant-kill tricks.
Since Mushroof has no starting , he can be boosted by Spineapple, Three-Nut or Loco Coco so that Mushroof will have his own base to defend himself, or he can be paired with Pecanolith to utilize his high starting to deal heavy damage to zombies or the Zombie Hero.
Since Mushroof is a mushroom, he can also be utilized in mushroom decks with other mushrooms whose abilities depend on mushroom synergy (e.g. Punish-shroom), but only Spudow would be able to use him effectively.
=== Against ===
Unlike most other defensive plants, brute strength may not be the best strategy to dealing with Mushroof due to his ability. The minimum number of hits that Mushroof needs to take before he is defeated is two (provided no instant-kills are used), so using high-damage cards may not be the most efficient way to deal with Mushroof. This can make Mushroof an annoyance during the late game when your high-strength zombies might need to take a while getting rid of this plant.
Luckily, even with his ability, Mushroof is still vulnerable to instant-kills. heroes can use cards like Primordial Cheese Shover and Locust Swarm, and heroes can use cards like Celestial Custodian or Rolling Stone (provided Mushroof is not boosted).
 heroes can deal with Mushroof through other means. They can utilize Deadly zombies to instant-kill Mushroof, or use Strikethrough to bypass him. Bouncing Mushroof is also an option, although this means that his health, if he has taken any damage, will be reset.
 and heroes will have a harder time dealing with Mushroof out of the other classes, as they will have to rely on repetitive damage in order to take out Mushroof. heroes can use bonus attacks and heroes can repeatedly use their direct damage cards to eliminate Mushroof as quick as possible. The class can also use Overshoot zombies to damage the Plant Hero even if Mushroof is in the lane.
