Strategies
If dealt with properly, Sturdy zombies can be dealt with quickly as their ability doesn't provide much difficulty against your defenses.

When in groups, as they normally appear in Deadlocked, simple choices like Grapeshot would not be a good choice as they'd always remain with 5 hp left no matter what regardless if they health is below or above it. Using two insta kill plants like a grapeshot then cherry bomb works aswell as it's sturdiness only works once.

Trivia
