Ivy

"Deals single target poison dps."
―In-Game Description

Description

The Ivy is a unit spawned by the Biologist. The Biologist is able to spawn the Ivy starting from Level 1, as long as it selected in the unit queue. It spawns on ground within the Biologist's range. The Ivy's statistics are increased as the Biologist is upgraded.

The Ivy fires out a projectile at enemies which damages and poisons any damage hit. This projectile deals energy damage. Once poisoned, enemies will receive damage over time and will get slowed down. This slowdown gets stronger with Levels. Its poison effect cannot stack with poison from other sources, such as the Toxic Gunner. In case of both effects being applied, one of them will take priority over the other.

Appearance

The Ivy is a poisonous and closed flower which fires out toxic projectiles at enemies. It is purple and green.

Strategy

  • The Ivy can be pretty effective against hordes of enemies, as its explosion deals full damage to all enemies hit by it.
    • However, it does bypass defense, as its explosion deals energy damage rather than explosion damage.
    • While it can damage mulitple enemies at once, it has lower DPS and range than the other two plants, meaning it is far less effective against single targets.
  • Explosions from the Ivy apply poison to enemies, which deals damage over time and slows them down slightly.
    • This effect cannot stack with poison from other sources, such as the Toxic Gunner. If both are applied at the same time, one effect will take priority over the other.
  • Both its explosion and poison can damage Lead enemies, making the Ivy useful at clearing them out.
