Jester Zombie

The Jester Zombie is a zombie appearing in Dark Ages. It can deflect projectiles, like peas, Lobbed-shots, cannons, and others. To defeat it, it is recommended you need Fume-shroom or other Area of Effect plants, or by using instants.

Overview
The Jester Zombie absorbs 17 normal damage shots and its appearance change upon at 8,5 normal damage shots before being killed at 17 normal damage shots.

Appearances
Dark Ages: Night 5, 6, 9, 10

Strategies
The Jester Zombie will spin around and will send most projectiles back to the plants. It's main weakness is the Fume-shroom, but he can presumably be damaged via Area of Effect attacks like Lightning Reed, and Laser Bean. Lightning Reeds in unison are better because they don't have projectiles to throw at Jester Zombie, therefore it will greatly weaken the zombie. Two Spikerocks adjacent to your plants will also sterilize the Jester Zombie by luring it with Straight-Projectile firing Plants such as Peashooters. Bonk Choys can be useful but keep a Tall-nut adjacent to it or you will risk a 150 sun because of its minimum range. However, if the player decides to use a set of Snapdragons instead, the tactic would be better. A great way is to combine Fume-shrooms, Lightning Reeds, and Snapdragons. They will surely stop any Jester Zombies on screen.
