Shield Zombie

Shield Zombie is a zombie appears in Far Future. It creates a Force Field to protect itself and other nearby zombies from incoming attacks. However, a Laser Bean's laser can penetrate through these shields.

Strategy
Laser Bean can penetrate the shield so you can attack the Shield Zombie directly. If you plant Magnifying Grass quickly enough, it can 1 hit kill the Shield Zombie. An E.M. Peach can disable the Shield Zombie, stopping shield production for a few seconds. A Lightning Reed's attack cannot bypass the shield on its own, but if the lightning bolt attacks another zombie, it can arc towards the Shield Zombie and cause damage. A Bloomerang can also damage and bypass the shield. Finally, enough hits disable the shield, making a Citron viable as it deals large damage on its own. A Spikerock can attack it from below and bypass his shield, making it a good idea to use it in Terror from Tomorrow. Note that the shield can block the butter from a Kernel-pult.
