Lore

Archer Zombie shoots special arrows that transform plants or activate Basic Zombies. The arrowheads come from a rare meteorite. It is said that this stone can be used to make soup. Whether the soup tastes good is unknown.

When transforming a plant, it can only become a plant you are carrying, and its sun value can increase by at most 50. When activating a zombie, it only turns Basic Zombie into a zombie that has appeared in the battle, or into a stronger Silver Chariot.
