Baberries

<tabber>
Baberries is nineth plant unlocked in Riverside Kingdom in Plants vs. Zombies: Kingdom of Taco, they are unlocked in side path C, featuring Last Stand levels.
They are a lobber plant that deal low damage at first, however have splash damage in 1x1 tile, and if they hit more than 1 zombie, their damage will increase by 20, with the maximum damage being 10 zombies at once with 200 damage, enough to one-shot a Browncoat Zombie. As a lobber, their projectiles ignore obstacles and attack zombies first, can ignore certain type of shields such as Pillar Zombie, and can hit submerged Snorkel Zombie.
Jammed Jam is the Tacobility form of Baberries. It has no change on Baberries' main ability, but gain the additional ability to spawn jam tile after landing an attack, jam tile slow down zombies by 50% and stay for 4 seconds, allowing them to group zombies up without the need of other plants. Jam tile can be spawn on water, unlike other tiles, but will only stay for 2 seconds as a result. The tile can be covered by other type of tiles, such as Sap-Fling's sap tile.
== Origins ==
Baberries are based on berries, while the specific species of berry is unknown, it can be seen as either Cranberry or Cherry. The other thing they're based on is baby, a very young offspring of an animal, their personality of being hyperactive and playful is based on this.
Their ability to throw other berries to deal damage is based on Clique Peas from PvZH, as they're both a group of plants that can throw each other towards zombies to attack. Their ability to deal more damage with more zombies in the same range is based on their Strikes Back's 3rd Type Boost ability, where they gain the same ability when boosted.
Jammed Jam's ability to stall zombies comes from the word "Jammed", which can mean both jam as in food made from usually berries, or jammed as in being stuck somewhere. The ability can also be a reference to Baberries' Battle Evolve appearance, where one of their abilities is called "Baberry Jam". While it doesn't have much to do with stalling, it can be seen as a callback to the 3 games DMdarkmatter made before Kingdom of Taco.

== Strategies ==
Baberries work best in groups, not for themselves, but groups of zombies instead.
Baberries main power comes from their ability to deal more damage when attacking multiple zombies within a splash damage range. This allows them to deal with grouped zombies with high health easily, such as in Fortress Kingdom, where zombies can wear helmet by Blacksmith Zombie. Baberries can deal up to 200 damage per shot with each attack, enough to kill weaker zombies in one hit, and cripple a lot of high health zombies. This ability can help clear out grouped zombies, so you can defeat special levels where there's only certain type of zombie spawning more easily, as they have similar health and speed so they can be grouped up by stallers.
Speaking of Stallers, it is important to bring either a stalling plant or defensive plant to pair them with Baberries when you don't have too many Tacos. They can help group those zombies up before Baberries can clear them, while Snow Pea can do the job, them doing damage is actually a bad thing as you want Baberries to deal higher damage at once, and if some zombie died from Snow Pea, they will deal less damage to others at the same time, so other choices can be Tall-Nut, Daicier or Sap-Fling, as they deal no damage but can stall zombies for a while, allowing Baberries to take care of them. Though beware of Sap-Fling as their sap tile can override Jammed Jam's own tiles.
Jammed Jam offers an extra strategy when using Baberries. Having a Jammed Jam allows you to not have to worry about bringing another staller, as the jam tile can slow down zombies for other zombies to catch up, then allow Bebrries to destroy them. However you need a Taco in order to pull this off, so it is not always an option especially in some levels with only 1 or 2 Tacos. Jammed Jam can also be a support plant by stalling zombies, which is especially useful when you want to use fire attackers, since it is not chilling or freezing the zombies.
Baberries do have one glaring weakness, which is that they lack single-target damage, remember that Baberries' normal damage output is weaker than a Peashooter. In levels with General Zombies, Baberries is only useful for clearing out other zombies, so you have to bring other attackers to take out the General themselves. They also lack damage to zombies when they're separated, as well as instant-killing zombies as they can't be stalled by defensive plants, so zombies like Zomboni, Ostrich Gargantuar and more can be a problem. Their attack speed is also slow, same as other lobbers, so quicker zombies such as Fraidy Cats can eat Baberries before they can attack fast enough. They also suffer in the early game due to lacking grouped zombies.
