## Strategies

As the game suggests, E.M.Peach will find most of his utility in Far Future, where most of the threats encountered are mechanical by nature. Compared to other disabling plants, E.M.Peach is unique in that he can temporarily disable Shield Zombie's force field as well as force Gargantuar Prime out of its laser attack, whether Gargantuar Prime is charging or firing the laser beam.

These factors, combined with E.M.Peach's large area of effect and moderate recharge time, make this plant a powerful support weapon, particularly in Terror from Tomorrow, as he can stun almost every zombie on the field and save the player from potentially devastating attacks. Because he is cheap, he can be used even if the player's running low on sun. This can be useful as his 10-second stun effect will allow the sun-producing plants to generate more sun, which in turn allows more expensive plants to be planted (or gathering sun for the Magnifying Grass) while stalling the zombies. He also works well with Winter Melon, because it can heavily damage multiple zombies as well as chilling them, and it doubles the stun duration if the machine is chilled beforehand.

On the other hand, E.M.Peach does not have much use in other worlds. In Wild West, he can be used to temporarily disable Zombie Bull and Rodeo Legend Zombie. E.M.Peach can also be used in The Springscapade and Lawn of Doom, since they contain mechanical threats, namely Egg-o-Matic 2K21 and Webhead Zombie respectively. Otherwise, the player is strongly advised not to carry E.M.Peach outside these worlds, or levels containing mechanical zombies, due to the lack of mechanical threats appearing in these worlds.

The stun time can be compounded if one uses the Plant Food effect of Iceberg Lettuce from time to time, allowing zombies to be stunned indefinitely. Stalling plants such as Snow Pea, Kernel-pult, Stallia and Sap-fling can also help E.M.Peach, as the stun duration will be doubled if the victim is also affected by the slowing effect.

Using E.M.Peach with plants like Bonk Choy and Celery Stalker is a good choice as they will deal fast and high damage to the mechanical enemies while stunned, due to their rapid attack, especially Robo-Cone Zombies and Disco-tron 3000s, and it may sometimes be enough to defeat them. Spikeweeds and Spikerocks are also effective choices with E.M.Peach, especially if you stun the enemies when triggering these plants as the Spikeweed/Spikerock will continuously damage them and cannot affect them at all.
