Coal Imp

*Coal Imp blocks damage and slowly burns your plants.*

Attempting to slack off on the job in a place where no one can find you seemed like the perfect crime, until it got to where you should hide. The worst part? He's STILL on the job. He's still thinking about his contingency plan, because where ever those wheelbarrows were taking him, it's nowhere good.

**Coal Imp** is an Imp zombie encountered in Steam Ages. In most levels, he never appears by himself and will only appear if Coal Miner Zombie's wheelbarrow is destroyed.

Coal Imps act as stationary meat shields that slowly deal damage to your plants over time. They cannot be knocked back nor can they be inflicted with most status effects such as poison or hypnosis.

**The Cherry Bomb Brothers attempted to start their own band. "We tried to figure out what the sound would be, but we kept explodonating speakers, stages, fans, and of course, zombies. Look for our LP next year."**

**Cherry Bomb** is a plant in *Plants vs. Zombies 2: Reflourished* and the eighth plant obtained in Pirate Seas. They are unlocked after beating Pirate Seas - Day 24.

When planted, Cherry Bomb explodes violently in a 3x3 area, dealing 1800 armor-piercing damage to any zombies that are caught in the blast. The explosion also counts as fire damage, causing previously chilled and frozen zombies to lose the respective debuffs, as well as being useless against Imp Dragon Zombies.

## Almanac entry

**Cherry Bomb**

Cherry Bombs can blow up all zombies in an area. They have a short fuse so plant them near zombies.

Usage: single use, instant

The Cherry Bomb Brothers attempted to start their own band. "We tried to figure out what the sound would be, but we kept explodonating speakers, stages, fans, and of course, zombies. Look for our LP next year."

## Strategies

Asides from a slower recharge, Cherry Bomb is unchanged from their Vanilla counterpart; as such, vanilla tactics largely apply. Remember that the explosion pierces through armor and counts as fire damage, meaning Brickhead Zombie can be destroyed while Imp Dragon Zombie will take no damage, and any surviving zombies will be defrosted from freeze and chilling effects.

Cherry Bomb has a few alternatives for instantly destroying large hordes. Bombegranate and Grapeshot are the closest comparisons, trading costliness and explosive power for bonus damage in the form of leftover seeds or bouncing grapes. Explode-O-Nut also has reduced explosive power, in return for containing the additional properties of a defensive wall. Primal Potato Mine is cheap and has an even more powerful explosion than Cherry Bomb, but first requires minding an initial arm time. Which of these plants to use will depend on the needs of the level, but Cherry Bomb remains the simplest and most consistent out of their alternatives.

The crowd loved him. He was quite the star for a while there. Sure, those days are behind him. But if you watch carefully, when Chard Guard is fighting zombies, you'll see him use the wrestling move he made famous. The ol' Knock 'Em Dead maneuver - it gets 'em every time.**
