In the game Plants vs Zombies, melancholy mushrooms and cattail are very practical plant props, but their characteristics and uses are slightly different.

Melancholy mushroom needs 200 sunshine and 25 seconds cooling time, and can attack all zombies in the first 4 squares with moderate damage. It sends out a sad light to attack all zombies in the front four squares and can penetrate obstacles. Moderate damage, fast firing frequency, 0.4 seconds/time, but only one shot at a time (up to three melancholy mushrooms in each row), lasting 300.

Typha is a faster way to attack, which can cause a lot of damage, but it needs a longer cooling time and cannot attack multiple enemies like a melancholy mushroom.

Therefore, in the early stage of the game, the attack and penetration ability of melancholy mushrooms can help players effectively resist the attack of zombies. In the later stage of the game, players can choose whether to buy cattail as needed to enhance their firepower.
