Corchid
Mysterious Swamp's corner-grid plant, the substrate of swamp support.
Lore
Corchid must be planted on the corners of tiles. Once all four corners of a tile are filled, that tile becomes plantable and ignores swamp, liquid, and similar terrain restrictions.
Corchid is slight in build; a single grid point is enough planting space. The tile her four corners create is firm and steady, and the contrast between her calm temper and Opti-caltrop's loud one anchors the Mysterious Swamp's own swamp-support idea.
Mechanics
Role
Corner plant · Terrain rewrite · Swamp support
- Base data: 25 sun; 7.5s recharge; 400 HP.
- Can only be planted on tile vertices; the four tiles meeting that vertex must all be land.
- Four completed corners make that tile plantable, ignoring swamp, liquids, and some terrain restrictions.
- A plant standing on the resulting tile reads a swamp-support flag and resolves its own entry-specific bonus.
- Left-drag (with at least one Corchid already on the field and a fully recharged seed packet) plants in batches at 35 sun per new plant, with recharge accumulating with the new count.

In-game tooltip
Can only be planted on tile corners. Any tile covered by 4 Corchids becomes plantable, regardless of terrain. Swamp plants on those tiles are buffed. (Click and drag Corchid on the lawn to plant in batches.)
