Hedgehammer

Hedgehammer is an attacking Plant in the game Plants vs. Zombies: Suburbia Defenders. He is unlocked after Day 21 of Peaceless Park.

Hedgehammer attacks by slamming its head onto the ground, doing massive damage to Zombies on that tile. He attacks once every 5 seconds, and deals 7.5 nds of damage to all Zombies there.

Origin:
Hedgehammer is based on a sledgehammer, a tool with a large, heavy head attached to a long stick, and a hedge, a bush that is trimmed and used as a fence or boundary.

Overview:
Hedgehammer is a great offensive plant, with the ability to nearly one-shot normal Zombies. However, it's short range and slow attack speed can leave it vulnerable if not protected, so it is best used behind a Wall-nut or other defensive Plant.

Plant Food 1:
When option 1 is chosen and Hedgehammer uses a Plant Food, Hedgehammer will smash its head on the ground in front of him, dealing massive damage to everything on the tile. This is useful for dealing with large clumps of tougher Zombies, but option 2 will usually be better for helping your defense

Plant Food 2:
When option 2 is chosen and Hedgehammer uses a Plant Food, Hedgehammer will send a shockwave down the lane, dealing light damage to all Zombies and knocking them back. This is very useful if you need to stall so a defensive Plant can be replaced, or for dealing with Gargs, but isn't very useful otherwise.

Strategies:
Although Hedgehammer's high cost and slow attack rate might put players off, Hedgehammer is one of the best late-game Plants for taking out Zombie hordes. Because Hedgehammer's attack damages the entire tile of Zombies, it can shred through groups with ease and slowly chip away at tougher Zombies if given proper support. It is recommended to use Magnet-shroom along with Hedgehammer, as Hedgehammer is able to two-shot normal Zombies but may have trouble with larger units such as Bucketheads.
