How to read the tables
- Toughness is the zombie’s body health. A number in brackets, such as “(+1,100)”, is extra armor on top.
- Armor type: Type 1 armor (helmets, buckets) sits on the head; Type 2 armor (screen doors, newspapers, books) is a held shield. Magnet-shroom and its fusions can pull off many metal armors.
- Counter comes from the wiki’s listed weakness and strategy notes.
Quick counters for common threats
| Threat | What the wiki recommends |
|---|---|
| Buckets, football helmets and other metal armor | Magnet-shroom and its fusions remove them; metal-shot plants such as Grey Pea and Bucket-shroom break buckets fast. |
| Gargantuars | Poison is listed as their weakness. Anti-crush plants take only 500 damage per smash instead of being instantly killed. |
| Zomboni | Jalapeno removes ice trails; Spikeweed variants, Obsidian Tall-nut and Cherrizilla are listed counters. |
| Bungee and air zombies | Umbrella Leaf and its fusions; some Umbrella Leaf ultimates can fling Imps out of the screen. |

 Balloon Zombie | 270 (+20) | 20 (Type 1) | Is able to fly over ground and water plants. | Weak to: Cactus, Blover, Cattail |
 Buckethead Zombie | 270 (+1100) | 1100 (Type 1) | Buckets can be removed by Magnet-shrooms. | Weak to: Magnet-shroom One of their weaknesses is the Magnet-shroom and some of its fusions, as it removes the bucket from his head and renders him as tough as normal zombies. |

Frequently Asked Questions
How many zombies are in PvZ Fusion?
The PvZ Fusion Wiki currently has pages for about 170 zombies. This guide lists the 168 that have health data on the wiki.
What is the hardest zombie in PvZ Fusion?
The Purgatory and Tier 3 Evolved zombies have the highest numbers. For example, the Abyssal Gargantuar has 32,000 toughness plus 32,000 armor and gives a damage reduction to all zombies on screen.
How do I deal with Buckethead and Football Zombies?
Use Magnet-shroom or its fusions to pull off their metal armor. The removed bucket can then be used to make metal fusions such as Buck-nut and Steel Pumpkin.
What beats Gargantuars?
The wiki lists poison as their weakness. Plants that cannot be crushed, such as Cherrizilla and Obsidian Tall-nut, help hold them, while high-damage plants from the S tier finish them off.
Where can I find the best plants to counter zombies?
See our PvZ Fusion tier list for the strongest plants, and the PvZ Fusion recipes list for how to make them.
