Event Card Analysis: Sun Shroom

Sun-Shroom is an event plant card in Plants vs. Zombies Heroes, and a member of the Solar class. It costs 2 to play, and has 2. It has the Team-Up trait, and its ability gives the plant hero +1 at the start of the next turn and transforms it into a Sunnier-Shroom.  


Sun-Shroom can be treated as Sunflower that costs 1 sun more, but has 1 extra health. But in addition, it turns into a Sunnier-Shroom if it survives onto the next turn which becomes a better version of Twin Sunflower with 3 health instead of 2. Due to Sun-Shroom having 2 health and transforming into another plant the next turn, it can withstand a zombie with 1 strength or less, then transform into a bulkier plant at full health.

Chompzilla can use Sun-Shroom in succession with Muscle Sprout as when it transforms into Sunnier-Shroom, Muscle Sprout will activate its ability again. She can also boost it with cards like Fertilize and Plant Food to help keep it alive. Finally, she can use Black-Eyed Pea to discourage the zombie hero from using tricks to destroy it.

Solar Flare can use it as an alternative for Sunflower in mushroom decks, as being in the mushroom tribe, it can benefit from Buff-Shroom and Punish-Shroom. However, do not play Buff-Shroom until it turns into Sunnier-Shroom, as its stat boosts will be erased when it transforms.

Wall-Knight is able to increase its strength with Spineapple, allowing it to attack back. He can also increase Sunnier-Shroom's health to make it survive longer and produce more sun and can also use tough plants like Wall-Nut to protect Sunnier-Shroom and tricks such as Gardening Gloves, Bubble Up and Root Wall to move or protect it. He can also use Steel Magnolia to increase its health, or 2nd-Best Taco of All Time to heal it.

Rose does not have many uses or synergies with this, but she can use Shellery and other Team-Up plants to protect Sun-Shroom, and freeze, bounce, or destroy zombies that may damage it.

Sun-Shroom has no strength and 2 health, so you can easily destroy it with Rolling Stone or Bungee Plumber. However, it you manage to leave it, be careful as Sunnier-Shroom has 1 extra health and produces 2 sun each turn like Twin Sunflower for a cost of 2 sun. So if possible, aim on destroying Sun-Shroom or Sunnier-Shroom to prevent the plant hero from gaining a sun advantage for a cheap cost. Sunnier-Shroom can be destroyed by Zombot's Wrath, Rolling Stone, Electrobolt, or Stayin' Alive.
