Unlocked	Beating Tutorial

“	Wall-nut's hard shell makes it an effective defense against zombie attacks. Plant them in front of other plants to protect them.	”
—Penny

Wall-nut is the first defensive plant obtained in Plants vs. Zombies 2 and the third unlocked overall. He acts as a shield for the player's other plants, as he has high durability. He is mainly used to stall or block zombies in order to buy time for the player to plant an offensive plant, or for offensive plants to take out zombies with high health.

Other variations

Explode-O-Nut

In Plants vs. Zombies 2, Explode-O-Nut returns as a premium plant. He now acts more like a Wall-nut, with less health but the additional effect of a damaging explosion similar to a Cherry Bomb when he is eaten.

Strategies

Wall-nut works exactly like he does in Plants vs. Zombies, and thus should be used the same here. The old strategies of Wall-nut with Spikeweed, Spikerock, and Chomper are still effective in this game, and with the addition of melee plants such as Bonk Choy, Bamboo Spartan, Phat Beet, Pyre Vine, Celery Spalker, and Snapdragon, Wall-nut has more options of plants to defend.

However, he is also easily outclassed, especially by his primal variation, Tall-nut and Pea-nut, the former can recharge quicker and survive insta-kill attacks, the middle has twice as much health and can block flying enemies, while the latter can attack and also defend himself at the same time. Wall-nut is cheaper than these three though, so he still has use in levels such as those where only a certain amount of sun can be used.
