Bad Apple (Milesprower2)

''This page is for Milesprower2's Bad Apple. If you are looking for TheLimeGamer's version, see here. For Cyborg Ranger's version, see here.''

Bad Apple is a plant that rapidly shoots low-damage seeds at zombies. It has a short range, but deals damage incredibly fast due to its fire rate. Furthermore, if it is eaten by a zombie, the attacking zombie will instantly die from the rotten taste. However, it can only kill one zombie when eaten, making it ineffective against groups.

Plant Food
Shoots three apples forwards, each causing an instant-kill of damage to the zombie they hit. Potentially can kill an entire Gargantuar and heavily damage another one, or can kill an entire Undying Zombie, but is bad against groups.

Strategies
Bad Apple is a decent plant inside Pumpkins or right behind defenders. When you can hold off zombies within the attack range of this plant, then it is one of the most cost-effective attackers (3dps for 200 sun, and you can have up to two behind a defender, three if using Pumpkins). They also act as a kind of safety net if a defender goes down, as a zombie or two will die when they eat the Apples.

However, Bad Apples are not recommended for longer levels, as they lack area-of-effect capabilities, and can be overwhelmed by large crowds. In such a situation, Fume-shrooms, Laser Beans, Bloomerangs, or even Lightning Reeds or Snapdragons, are often better choices.
