Torchlight Zombies with Excavator Zombies are a very dangerous combo as they both move very fast. However, if you plant Guacodile directly on his tile, the Guacodile's rush attack will trigger instantly, damaging the Torchlight Zombie. Note: Chard Guards, Chompers, Parsnips, and Guacodiles are useless, as Torchlight Zombie will destroy them before they even have the chance to attack. Ghost Pepper can't be burned and can get multiple hits in on the zombie, therefore is a viable option against it. Note, however, that they do not attack fast enough to land multiple hits on Torchlight Zombie, so they may not be the most ideal plants. You can use underground plants like Spikeweed, Spikerock, Celery Stalker, and Cactus, as they cannot be burned while underground. Other strategies that work against Explorer Zombies can also work against Torchlight Zombies. Just like the Explorer Zombie, the Torchlight Zombie cannot burn the Plant Food shields of Moonflower and Infi-nut, so they can be used to stall those zombies fairly effectively. However, it is still important to keep in mind that Sap-fling deals no damage, so you will need an offensive plant to actually kill him. Though not as powerful as the chilling or freezing plants, Sap-fling helps with speed and control, allowing you to handle them more easily. Hurrikale is also powerful against it due to its chill effect nullifying an entire lane, leaving a potential group of these zombies helpless. If Winter Melon and Pea Pod are at max level, you can use them together and the Torchlight Zombies will be outmatched easily. When you have extinguished the torch, Stallia and Primal Peashooter are an effective combo, as they can slow him down and knock him back at the same time. In a worst case scenario, you can use Power Snow as a last resort. Against groups of them, use Plant Food on an Iceberg Lettuce to extinguish all of their torches. Cold Snapdragon is also fantastic against them due to their ability to extinguish their torches, as well as being very cheap and easy to repeatedly plant. The best way to handle him is to use any plant with a freeze or chill effect, such as Winter Melon or Iceberg Lettuce.

The Torchlight Zombie burns plants just like an Explorer Zombie, but he is much faster and tougher than his basic counterpart, making him even more dangerous to your defenses.

That's not because he's always got a torch, however, but rather because as a zombie he has no capacity for fear in the first place.Īrena: Power Lily’s Garden Party Tournament Torchlight Zombie has no fear of the dark. Carries a torch that instantly destroys plants and scorches the earth.
