## Strategies

Despite being weak in terms of health, MC Zom-B's ability to instantly kill non-defensive plants during the rap jam makes this zombie become very problematic. Since he reacts instantly when a plant approaches or is planted in his damage area, the player must kill him as fast as they can. Furthermore, he can be assisted in getting further into your defenses by Breakdancer Zombie, whose ability to kick zombies forward also activates during the rap jam.

* Straight-shooting and lobber plants have a long-range, which makes MC Zom-B easier to defeat.
* Stunion, Stallia, and Iceberg Lettuce are effective in combating this zombie, as they can also prevent him from moving or can slow him down. However, if the player plants them far away from the zombie, the plants can be killed.
* Spore-shrooms are also effective as the newly created Spore-shrooms will serve as an obstacle and cause MC Zom-B to pause and prioritize those created plants, making him easier to defeat.
* Piercing plants like Fume-shroom are useful for killing MC Zom-B when tougher zombies like Neon Bucketheads are in front of him.
* MC Zom-B will not attack ground plants such as Spikeweed, Spikerock, Potato Mine, etc. Because of this, these plants are a viable way to defeat this zombie. Planting one row of Spikerocks or two rows of Spikeweeds will defeat all MC Zom-B Zombies, provided they have not been sped up by jams. However, Celery Stalker should not be used, since MC Zom-B will kill it before the Celery Stalker has a chance to attack. Cactus will also fail to hide from MC Zom-Bs and get killed, especially ones on other lanes.
* Piercing plants are very effective for MC Zom-B when there are zombies close to him. Based on this information, Winter Melon and Melon-pult are strong against this zombie. However, both plants have high costs, so other strategies above are recommended.
