Ability Breakdown

  • Affordable power spike

    At a little over one thousand cash, Strawberry gives you enough damage to delete rare brainrots without needing epic investments.

  • Reliable lane clear

    Its projectiles fan out slightly, softening multiple enemies in the same lane. Back it up with slows to get the most out of each volley.

  • Transition ready

    Because the cost is modest, you can afford to reroll Strawberry seeds for better mutations and still have funds to chase your first epic stock refresh.

Acquisition & Growth

  • Appears in the regular shop rotation—keep $1.25k ready before each refresh.
  • Prioritize copies with larger size rolls for improved projectile coverage.
  • Sell weaker rolls once you have a Gold or Diamond Strawberry anchored in your main lane.

Upgrade Checklist

  • Set Strawberry in the heaviest lane while your Cactus watches a secondary path.
  • Upgrade damage mutations before investing in cooldown increases; it already fires quickly.
  • By the time Pumpkin appears, move Strawberry behind tanks to keep stacking chip damage.

Team Synergy Ideas

  • Cactus and Pumpkin: Cactus softens targets, Pumpkin absorbs hits, and Strawberry finishes the wave.
  • Eggplant stuns: pin targets in place so every berry connects.
  • Sunflower economy: use the extra income to chase elite mutations without stalling growth.

If a lane keeps leaking while you wait for epics, double-stack Strawberries rather than overcommitting to an expensive plant.

Strawberry remains relevant in late-game farms as a mutation hunter—keep one Gold or Diamond copy benched for backup lanes.
