Kernel Corn

**Kernel Corn** is a new playable plant class in Plants vs. Zombies & the Powerpuff Girls and the member of the Powerpuff Plants. He returned to Suburbia from fighting overseas during the events of the first garden warfare, only to find that the zombies have conquered Suburbia. Then he decided to bring the fight to them.

He can also fly the Butter Friend to scout ahead, fight zombies from other angles and call a Vanillasplsion dealing huge damage in a small area. However, Kernel Corns are ineffective at close combat range due to their rather low mobility and a lack of accuracy without scoping.

## Descriptions

### Website description

*Fighting overseas during the events of the first Garden Warfare, Kernel Corn is ready to take the fight to the Zombies. What he lacks in a sense of humor, he makes up for with attitude, and dual Cob Busters.*

### Stickerbook description

*Kernel Corn was stationed overseas for the events of the first Garden Warfare. Hearing about the conflict at home, he returned to a Suburbia transformed. Now he's ready to lead the Plants to victory, and tacos, but mostly victory.*

### In-game description

*Kernel Corn's dual Cob Busters, explosive Shuck Shot, Butter Barrage airstrike and greasy, but cute Butter Friend mean he's always on the front lines.*

Kernel Corn's primary weapon are the Cob Busters, a fully automatic weapon that deals 5-7 base damage and 7-9 critical damage depending on range.

## Strategies

### With

Kernel Corn's primary weapon functions similar to Foot Soldier except the fact that it has limited range but has more ammo. Kernel Corn can be very dangerous in a one-on-one fight. He has the Butter Friend which can be devastating due to its Vanillasplosion, which can vanquish quite a few zombies at a time and is useful for softening up the defenses around a tombstone for capture in Suburbination and Herbal Assault.

### Tips & Tricks

* The Butter Barrage is great at taking out groups of zombies.
* Husk Hop can be used to attack zombies and also to hop up onto rooftops or tactical areas.
	+ Pull the joystick/control key back to make Kernel Corn stay in one spot. It deals massive damage to zombies and players usually do not notice you nor can they escape in time.
* Shuck Shot is great for taking out Z-Mechs and Royal-Robots as they are easy to hit (or finishing them off with the Vanillasplosion).
* Kernel Corn has more firepower than Foot Soldier, making him a good front line assault class (larger ammo pool).
* Try and throw the Butter Barrage onto objectives.
* A good tactic for taking out Z-Mech or Royal-Robot is to use the Butter Barrage, then Husk Hop over Z-Mech or Royal-Robot, then fire your Shuck Shot at him or her when you land.
* Kernel Corn, along with Buttercup is very similar to Foot Soldier in many ways, so play it similarly.
* Shuck Shots don't have to be completely accurate. They give off small splash damage when they hit something.
* Husk Hop can be used to quickly and easily get in and out of situations.
* If they decide to use their Zombot Drone or Parrot Pal, it can be troubling, since Kernel Corn does not have good ideas to take it out.
	+ However, you can use Butter Friend to retaliate against it after you destroy it.
* Spamming the jump button immediately after using Husk Hop propels you forward in a straight line until you either stop jumping or lose momentum.
	+ Only works if you don't touch any of the movement controls.

## Trivia

* The names of his abilities are all alliterative.
* The fact that he fires projectiles from his "arms" seems to reference a concept idea from the original *Garden Warfare* that deceits plants attacking using their arms rather than their mouths and heads.
* He yells occasionally while firing his primary weapon or using the Shuck Shot.
* In the beta, the Cob Busters had 40 ammo instead of the 35 ammo in the finished game.
	+ This also applies to most of his variants.
* Kernel Corn is currently the only character in the game to be buffed in every character balancing update.
	+ He is also the only character out of all his variants to not have a hat without customization equipped.
* His Cob Busters visually lose kernels when the ammo from his primary weapon is used.
* He has the least elemental variants in the entire game, with only having BBQ Corn.
* According to the stickerbook, he was fighting overseas during the events of Garden Warfare*.*
