Damage

Damage is used in every game of the main Plants vs. Zombies series to express the damage plants / zombies deal and the amount of health zombies / plants have.

Explanation

Damage is the basic measurement of damage in the Tower defense games. A pea deals 20 damage, while each bite from most zombies (the damage counted by each second the zombie attacks, except for Plants vs. Zombies 3) deals 100 damage.

Some projectiles from plants can do more than just 20 damage, and can do up to about 80 damage, such as Cabbage-pult, Melon-pult, and peas ignited by a Torchwood. The projectile with the most damage output is Gloom-shroom

Instant kills deal a heavy amount of damage, most dealing about 1800 damage except for Potato Mine, which deals 2400 damage. However, in ZomBotany 2, a full-health Tall-nut Zombie can be killed by a corn cob, Cherry Bomb, Jalapeno or Doom-shroom, even though Tall-nut Zombies have 2400 health. A single Potato Mine or Squash cannot kill a full-health Tall-nut Zombie, despite dealing the same damage as the aforementioned explosive plants. Chompers deal 40 damage (200 in the sequel) to any zombie it cannot devour. Likewise, Grimroses do 600 damage to any zombie they cannot kill.
