Rock-Melon doesn't understand why it does less damage than a Melon-pult, yet it lobs cold, hard rocks. "It's very illogical and unfair," he says. "It's the dumbest thing I've heard ever since finding out Spikerocks destroy armor on a zombie's head."

Strategies
Rock-melons can be considered Repeaters with a significant health boost and an addition of splash damage. It is advised to plant them at the front lines, as they will protect plants behind them. You should not use them as your only offensive plant, because multiple zombies can bite the Rock-Melon all at once, which will make the high defense boost meaningless, and due to their reduced damage, will not be able to take them out. Using Cold Snapdragons, Snow Peas, and other snow-related plants will aid the Rock-Melon, and in return, the Rock-Melon has high health to protect the plant from being eaten.

Plant Food Effect
Obtains knight armor and fires a random amount of melons that fall from the sky.
