### Special

Projectile, disables or reduces healing

*Not to be confused with the mob, Dandelion.*

The **Dandelion** is a petal in florr.io that was added on February 11, 2020. It shoots like a missile and reduces enemy healing by 20%. Using 5 of them in a quick succession stops all healing for a while.

*See also: Dandelion (Mob)*

## Appearance

Looks like a basic petal, but a black stick out of one side. This black part goes straight out ending in a semi circle. The black part always faces toward the flower when orbiting and face the opposite way the petal is moving when fired.

## Function

*Note: The "A + B" respawn format means that the petal takes A seconds to respawn and B seconds after respawning to do its special action/have its special action enabled.*

Shoots out like a missile upon attacking, moving in the same direction until either fading out or hitting something.

Upon hitting an enemy, they will be unable to heal for the indicated time. This time is reduced by 50% for flowers. The only mob this is effective against are Starfish and Leech. A flower under a dandelion's effect will turn pale yellow/almost white and be sad regardless of whether or not it's defending. Mythic Dandelion has 2 dandelions in one petal slot.

## Drops

### Purchasing

On certain days, the petal can be purchased in the Shop.

*Note: the price depends on how much money is spent. This table shows the prices assuming the lowest and highest amounts of money that can be spent. Also, the stars awarded per ad change depending on the player's highest rarity petal. The table shows the lowest per ad (1) and the highest per ad (3). For more information, go to this page: Stars*

## Strategy

Dandelions cripple opponents they hit by disabling their healing. For flowers, they are almost guaranteed to flee in fear. For Starfish, the only mob with health regen, it'll disable the rapid healing rate, allowing users to take it out more easily.

### Garden

* No mobs in garden are affected by the dandelion. It serves as a weaker Missile and thus should not be used.

### Ocean

* Starfish's healing can be powerful, especially at higher levels. Dandelion disables this, allowing lower DPS builds to finish the job. For legendary or mythic starfish, a dandelion is almost required, so make sure at least one player has them. It is vital for Ultra+ starfishes.
	+ A starfish under the influence of a dandelion does not retreat since they can't heal. Keep this in mind and be prepared for a lengthy pursuit.

### PvP

#### Using

* Dandelion is best paired with petals that can cause poison damage, especially Iris. Dandelion's ability to prevent healing, combined with poison damage, can potentially stress an enemy flower and reduce large amount of health.
* Dandelion is meant to be a support petal and does not do much damage on its own, thus, players should equip other petals that help to deal adequate damage.
* Dandelion can also be paired with Stinger, as the massive damage can't be healed instantly.
* This petal is the best counter to players who spam Roses or Leaves since it disables their main defense.
* It is not suggested to be used with any amount of Faster petals as this will make aiming much harder. However, it also brings the petal into the correct location more often, so skilled players can find use out of using it.

### Against

* Since it's a projectile, the petal can be dodged from far away.
* One can attempt to block an incoming dandelion, but its high health makes this hard.
* Don't underestimate this petal, it is very dangerous when it is in reach of being hit.
* Try to predict where the dandelion will go, moving in a straight line being chased by a skilled dandelion user is very dangerous as it makes landing the dandelion much easier. Try to move from side to side to decrease the chances of getting hit.
* If hit, retreat immediately.
