PvZ Fusion Items Guide: Tools, Drops & Item Fusions
Items in PvZ Fusion are tools you use during a level, drops you take from zombies, and Zen Garden gear. Many zombie drops can also be fused onto plants to make metal fusions. This guide lists each item, how to get it and what it does. For game basics, see how to play PvZ Fusion. For modes like Vasebreaker and Garden Defense, see our PvZ Fusion game modes guide.
