Ability Breakdown

  • Formation buffs

    Sunzio organizes nearby plants, granting them extra attack rhythm that keeps pressure on incoming waves.

  • Event-only tool

    Because it can’t be bought from the shop, Sunzio is a signature pick for players who cleared the event quest.

  • Scales with roster quality

    The more powerful your surrounding plants, the more value Sunzio’s formation boost delivers.

Acquisition & Growth

  • Complete Prison Event missions to unlock Sunzio—no cash purchase required.
  • If the event returns, prioritize the unlock early to add the buffer to your mid-game lineup.
  • Aim for large size rolls to extend the aura over multiple high-value plants.

Upgrade Checklist

  • Deploy Sunzio between your primary DPS plants to keep them firing in sync.
  • Upgrade aura potency and duration before boosting personal damage.
  • Swap Sunzio between lanes right before difficult waves so buffs always cover the heavy hitters.

Team Synergy Ideas

  • Sunflower & Cupuccino: income and attack-speed buffs stack on top of Sunzio’s formation bonus.
  • Strawberry & Pumpkin: use Sunzio to bring early squads into late-game viability.
  • Tomatrio & King Limone: amplifies already-lethal cooldown cycles for secret-tier plants.

Sunzio’s own damage mirrors Sunflower’s beam—treat it as a support DPS rather than a primary attacker.

Combine with Frozen control to keep enemies within buff-enhanced kill zones.
