The **Tomato** is a petal in florr.io. It can increase in size and damage. In other words, the bigger its size is, the more damage it does, but the health always stays the same no matter the size.

## Appearance

It looks like a tomato. Has a red round body with green calyx on top.

## Function

If applicable, include: *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.*

This petal that increases in size and damage after reloading, until it reaches its max size/dmg.

## Obtaining

*Things marked in an "X" cannot be dropped. Things marked with a "?" are unknown values.*

### 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

if you have enough Tomatoes, then it can be useful for surviving with them mimicking damage in an ascending order. Both the reload stats benefit from skills. It can be used to kill stronger mobs if you have weak petals and ultra-supers if used well with the right rotation speed. As the hitbox size increases with damage, it can be utilized to block petals/projectiles.

High tier tomatoes, unlike stinger, it can be used to multi-hit enemies, which can prove to be overpowered. Most tomato users already have a bone of the same level, which limits its potential. Still, it is a deadly force against fire ants and roaches.

Without the Reload skill, Tomato is stronger than Stinger if both break in the same amount of hits, but it will be outclassed as you upgrade the Reload skill due to the 3 second growing time being unaffected.

### Garden

* Tomatoes are useful in the garden because of the fact that they can be used to destroy missiles from Hornets.
* Use with healing petals. Even if you use sponge or cotton.

### Desert

* It's slightly useful here. to say the least. Beetles are very annoying to kill, so avoid them at all cost.

### Ocean

* Using Tomatoes in bulk can actually prove helpful in defeating Crabs and aggravated shells, mostly due to its hitbox increasing widely.

### Sewer

* This petal is useless at the lower-tier Sewer areas, even if you don't have one of them.
	+ Cockroaches might easily destroy them if you don't have them in higher tiers, but these can slightly slow them down.

### PvP

* The petal's owner can’t die if 10 ultra tomatoes are used.

#### Using

* It is rather useful at close range since it is less likely to be destroyed when it is weak, and it has more chances of hitting at maximum damage, being useful for both destroying projectiles and dealing damage. Its ideal tactic somewhat resembles iris with a factor of luck.

#### Against

* There are many options since tomato requires perfect timing and skill. Usually deathwheels, ranged petals and eggs should do. It leaves a short lasting weakness in the orbit's defense that can be exploited.
* Third eye, Dandelion machine gun and players with supers can take the user down.
* Also, just pearl the guy...

## Trivia

* Tomatoes used to destroy themselves upon reaching maximum size, but due to a recent unmentioned buff, the tomato doesn't "spoil" anymore.
* Rarities below Legendary used to not exist but now is obtainable after the release of the Jungle Biome.
* It has the Third largest damage potential per single petal (super Stinger is 5 stingers), only behind Claw and Dice (assuming that the Dice were to pose a critical hit, increasing it's base damage by 35 times)
* This is the only petal to change properties over time.
