Iron Reed

__NOWYSIWYG__

The Iron Reed is the 3rd plant found in Ancient Athens. It is a slightly weaker wall-nut that prevents the arrows from Artemis Zombie from hitting the plants behind it. However, the arrows still damage the Iron Reed. It is affected by Wall-nut first aid.

Overview
This plant is eaten at 60 Normal Damage Bites. It degrades at 20 and 40 normal damage bites, before being eaten at 60 normal damage bites. It's name is a mix of Iron (A type of metal) and reed.

Plant food
Iron Reed is completely healed, and it gains a golden suit of armor. The armor ads an additional 100 health. It degrades at 33 and 66 normal damage bites, before being destroyed at 100. After being destroyed, Iron Reed will take damage like normal.

Strategy
Iron reeds should be used similarly to other defensive plants, however, be sure to always plant it in front of the rest of your plants, in order to protect them. If there are no Artemis Zombies in the level, Iron Reed should not be used.

Suburban Almanac Entry
Iron Reed

Has elevated toughness and blocks arrows.

If iron reed was a ruler and he had hands, we would quite literally rule with an iron fist. The problem? He isn't a ruler and he doesn't have hands.
