Tough Tuft

__NOWYSIWYG__

Tough Tuft is a plant in Plants VS Zombies: JOURNEY. It is the first plan obtained in Sunflower Fields. It is unlocked by beating Sunflower Fields - Day 1. It attacks by shooting a leaf in either the lane it's in, the lane above it, or the lane below it. It usually picks the lane with the most total health from the zombies. It may switch the lane it shoots in if it has defeated its target and another lane has more total health. The leaf does 1.5 damage. It costs 175 sun.

Origins
Tough Tuft is based on a tuft of grass. It is called Tough Tuft because the words "tough" and "tuft" sound similar.

Almanac Entry
Sun cost: 175

DAMAGE: Moderate

RANGE: Three Lanes

Tough Tuft shoots leaves into one of 3 lanes.

Tough Tuft is incredibly shy, so he is always hiding under his grass. Someone tried to look under his tuft before. Bad things happened to that person.

Plant Food
When given plant food, Tough Tuft will shoot 30 leaves in each of the 3 lanes it can shoot it, for a total of 45 damage per lane.

Strategy
Tough Tuft is not recommend for a main offensive plant, as it will focus on the most powerful row, leaving zombies in the other rows free from attacks. However, Tough Tuft can be very useful as a supporting offensive plant. If you have one in every lane, they will help take care of the strong rows, while your main offensive plants, such as Snapdragon or Bonk Choy should be able to take out the other lanes on their own.

Multiplayer
Tough Tuft can be quite useful, as it is cheap and can take on 3 plants or zombies while being cheap so you can plant one early on. However, it is only recommended earlier on, as plants and zombies with lots of health like Wall-nuts and Buckethead zombies will easily be able to overpower the Tough Tuft.
