Plants vs Zombies 2 - Plant Nursery - Dragon Bruit - December 2024

50 Dragon Bruit seeds are awarded for completing this event consisting of five (5) levels.

Plant of the Week - Dragon Bruit - was offered between December 14, 2024 through December 16, 2024.

Dragon Bruit is a member of the Conceal-Mint - A Shadow plant.
Dragon Bruit costs 200 Sun. (-50 Sun at level 6, -25 Sun at level 10.)
Dragon Bruit can lob projectiles in the lane above and below it.
These projectiles deal 100 damage. (+20 damage on levels 2-4. +30 damage on levels 5-10.)
When powered, these projectiles damage zombies in a 3x3 area and deal 90 damage. (+30 damage on levels 2-4; +50 damage on levels 5-9 and +60 damage on level 10.)
When powered, these projectiles also deal 40 splash damage. (+10 damage per level.)
When powered, these projectiles also poison zombies; dealing 40 damage for 3 seconds. (+5 damage on levels 2-4 and 6-8. +10 damage on levels 5, 9 and 10. +1 second on levels 5 and 9.)
If Dragon Bruit is defeated, they will split into three "Baby Bruit" plants in the lane they are planted in and the adjacent lanes above and below. Baby Bruits fire weaker projectiles down their lanes and are still able to be powered by shadow aura.

Commentary:
A shadow plant which has a zombie-like ability? We should take a closer look.

Bottom line:
Let's be honest - Dragon Bruit is Dusk Lobber with a reincarnation ability. Since Dusk Lobber is not a bad plant, Dragon Bruit could be considered an upgrade.
