Everyone is always saying how shocking it is how much damage I deal to Zombies. But, I honestly don't think so, Winter Melon honestly is more impressive than I am, he is able to slow down Zombies. I may not be able to slow them down, but I do what I do best.

Plant Food
When given Plant Food, the Static Melon launches electrified melons out from the top that deal twice as much damage of a normal melon to all zombies, deal splash damage and send out bolts of lightning.

Strategies
With the Static Melon being so expensive, you will want to plant several Sunflowers or Sun Shrooms to be able to afford them quickly.

These Plants are good for attacking zombies with shields as the melons will go over the shield and attack the zombie instead.

Static Melons can zap groups of Zombie Chickens quickly, however, since it has a firing rate of 1/2x, it is not the best choice because the chickens will most likely eat it before it can fire again.

Static Melons are able to kill Zombie Parrots in one shot because of the electricity, so if there are any in the Zombie lineup, make sure to take the Static Melon.

Trivia
