Buckethead Zombie



The Buckethead Zombie is a normal zombie that wears a bucket on its head, greatly increasing its toughness. Fortunately, though, the bucket does not weaken any plant effects.

Overview
Absorbs 65 normal damage shots. Appearance changes upon absorption of 19, 37, 55, and 60 normal damage shots.

Suburban Almanac Entry
 Buckethead Zombie  His bucket hat makes him extremely resistant to damage. Toughness: high. Weakness: magnet-shroom. Buckethead Zombie always wore a bucket. Part of it was to assert his uniqueness in an uncaring world. Mostly he just forgot it was there in the first place.

Strategy
The Suburban Almanac advises the use of a Magnet-shroom, reducing the maximum absorption to 10 normal damage shots. This is not needed, as two Peashooters in conjunction with a Snow Pea are more than enough. These zombies are annoying in large numbers, especially on the Roof where Snow Peas are not options, so you may want to use Instant Kills. These zombies make up the majority of the offense in Survival: Endless.

Vasebreaker: Endless
Whenever one appears, refrain from breaking more vases within the same lane. A Potato Mine can be used if given enough time, and a Squash or Wall-nut if not. Otherwise, a Snow Pea paired with either a peashooter, Repeater, or Threepeater can work, although it is not as efficient.

A single Repeater is sufficient if the zombie is far enough back.

I, Zombie: Endless
Avoid use around nearby Magnet-shrooms, a Squash in the same lane, or a Chomper that is not recharging. Otherwise, deploy when large (but not massive) amounts of damage need to be absorbed. A Snow Pea plus one or two other plants defending a lane may result in the Buckethead Zombie's death, so be careful there. These are the most useful weapons in your arsenal, being relatively cheap while being able to absorb a large amount of damage.
