Gloom-Shroom is a colossal legendary plant card in Plants vs. Zombies Heroes and a member of the PvZH Kabloom IconKabloom class. He costs 5SunPvZH to play and has 5StrengthPvZH/5HeartPvZH.

He has the PvZH Truestrike IconBullseye trait, and his Mushroom Evolution ability does 3 damage to zombies on his lane and the lanes adjacent to him.

Origin[]

Gloom-shroom1

He is based on the plant in Plants vs. Zombies with the same name and appearance.

His Evolution ability is a reference to him being an upgrade plant in Plants vs. Zombies from Fume-Shroom, as well as his ability to attack zombies around him.

His description references the sad-looking expression on his face as well as the word "gloom" in his name, and the fact that, in Plants vs. Zombies, he fires off spore clouds in multiple lanes.

Strategies[]

With[]

On top of his average stats and the PvZH Truestrike IconBullseye trait, Gloom-Shroom has a very useful and handy ability. Just play him on any mushroom and he will activate it, destroying all zombies with 3HeartPvZH or less on his lane and the lanes next to him, opening up an opportunity for your plants to hit your opponent. Therefore, Gloom-Shroom's ideal placement is in the middle of a cluster of threatening low-health zombies to punish them.

Probably the best plants to play him on are Puff-Shroom, Button Mushroom, and Sea-Shroom, each with its pros and cons.

Puff-Shroom is a 0-cost plant in the mushroom tribe, and has the Team-Up trait, allowing Gloom-Shroom to be played on it on any non-aquatic lane, on any area. However, doing so will result in losing a versatile Team-Up plant. But again, Puff-Shroom costs nothing, so one more can be played easily, and even then, you could have another plant in the same lane before Gloom-Shroom is played, as Evolution will not force it away.

Playing it on Button Mushroom actually costs sun, but unlike Puff-Shroom, which has strategical value, she is a 1StrengthPvZH/1HeartPvZH plant with no traits or abilities, so you will not miss out on much. However, keep in mind that you should never bring Button Mushrooms into your deck just for Gloom-Shroom's evolution ability, and relying on More Spore is a better way to get Button Mushrooms.

Sea-Shroom is another excellent choice to evolve Gloom-Shroom on, as it will allow you to play Gloom-Shroom in the aquatic lane, and if the opponent doesn't have any way to deal with the Gloom-Shroom, they will take huge PvZH Truestrike IconBullseye damage from the generally less-defended aquatic lane. However, Sea-Shroom cost 2 sun, meaning unless the unlikely event of Sea-Shroom surviving the earlier turns happen, most of the time the evolution can only happen from Turn 7, giving your opponent more time to set-up their own plays. Also, only Spudow can use this combo.

Against[]

Don't use zombies with 3HeartPvZH or less when you know your opponent has this since if they have another mushroom on the field, they can play this to destroy or weaken your zombies. Instead, destroy him with tricks or zombies with 5StrengthPvZH/4HeartPvZH or more. You can also use Teleportation Zombie or Teleport to play zombies without them getting hurt by Gloom-Shroom's ability. Tricks like Rocket Science and Locust Swarm can destroy him easily.

You can also use Zombie Coach if the field is full of sports zombies to negate his ability. You can also use Mixed-Up Gravedigger for a similar effect, but be careful, because your opponent may have Grave Buster or other anti-gravestone cards.

If you have 5 health or less against a Kabloom hero, always be careful of this as this can easily land a finishing blow if you have no way of countering this with tricks or other abilities. Surprise Gargantuar can be a good choice here as he can move to block Gloom-Shroom. Likewise, Rodeo Gargantuar can be an equally good choice, although he can be more easily stopped as the plant hero just has to keep swarming the field with plants, which the Kabloom class, the class Gloom-Shroom is in, is usually very good at.

Trivia[]

  • His attack and ability animations only play on the player's side, similar to Zombot Sharktronic Sub's attack animation. This is most likely a bug.
  • When attacking or activating his ability, the whites of his eyes vanish, leaving only his pupils. This is a glitch.
  • He has the highest strength of all plants with the PvZH Truestrike IconBullseye trait.
