Knightshade (Milesprower2)

The Knightshade is a flower-based plant that attacks nearby zombies with a sword. It has the same range as a Bonk Choy (although it is unable to attack backwards), and has a low chance to stab zombies, inflicting massive damage.

The base chance of stabbing is only 1% (1/100), however it is increased when the target zombie is lower on health. For every 5% health the target zombie loses (every 7.5nds for a Gargantuar), the stab chance increases by 1%. This means that if the target has 50% health remaining, Knightshade will have a 10% chance to stab (1/10). If the target has only 5% health remaining, Knightshade will stab 20% of the time.

After stabbing a zombie, regardless of its remaining health, Knightshade will not stab again for at least five seconds.

Strategies
Knightshade can be considered somewhat of an upgrade to Bonk Choy. The chance for massive damage results in it being extremely effective against zombies with lots of health, such as Diamondheads and potentially even Gargantuars, if you can stall them within its range for long enough. However, the basic DPS is slightly lower than a Bonk Choy, and it lacks the backwards attack capability, as well as costing twice as much.

Knightshades are overall a good supportive plant to put behind your defences or inside Pumpkins. Make sure to not rely entirely on Knightshades however, as they lack range and AoE, which coupled with their randomness, makes them unreliable alone.
