**Blockoli** is the world seedium of Big Wave Beach in *Alternate UniverZ*. He is a defensive plant who is also able to slam his floret shields in order to stun any nearby zombies. Once he slams his shields he will need to recharge before he is able to slam them again; while recharging, he will use his slammed florets to block off any oncoming zombies. Blockoli is also immune to the special abilities of the Fisherman Zombie.

Blockoli can be unlocked through its seed packets, which are obtained through completing world quests or purchasing directly from the store.

## Strategies

Blockoli can be used the same as a typical wall plants. While he may be more expensive and has lower health than Tall-nut, his ability allows him to make up for that. The 25% stun uptime in his ability allows him to have an effective toughness of 7500. While the effective health is lower than that of a Tall-nut, his stun will also give Blockoli a better defense against a group of zombies, giving other attackers a chances to weed out weak zombies before reaching him. Or against short-ranged insta-kill zombies like Explorer Zombie or Excavator Zombie, where Blockoli stun outranges them, giving himself a few seconds before getting killed.

Where Blockoli truly shines is in his ability to counter Fisherman Zombie, making him a viable option for levels of Big Wave Beach wheres the Fishermen possesses great pressure power. Blockoli in Beach Wave Beach however, can still be binded by Octo Zombie, which makes the Lily Pad carrying him vunerable and once the Lily Pad is eaten, Blockoli will be instantly drowned. Surfer Zombie also is a threat to him as he will either pass through Blockoli on water or threatening him with his surfboard on lawn. Though if unoccupied, Blockoli can still buy you some times to deal with Surfer Zombie with his short stun, either on water or on lawn.
