Wraps the same tile, then turns damage into speed.

Lore

Enzymei does not push a plant behind a wall. It plants itself as a same-tile shell: incoming damage reaches the shell first, and the catalysis time left by that damage makes the inner plant update faster afterward.

Its name points to amylase, and the tea note keeps the enzyme joke intact: warm water is fine, too much heat makes it inactive. The mechanic is not chemistry simulation; Mechanical Snowfield simply commits to the pun with unusual discipline.

Mechanics

Role

Same-tile protection · Update catalysis

  • Base data: 125 sun; 30s recharge; 3000 HP.
  • Can be planted alone, or over most normal plants; the inner plant remains on the same tile, and incoming damage spends shell HP first.
  • Each 1 HP actually removed from the shell stores 0.04s of damage catalysis; while C > 0, the inner plant runs at 2× update speed.
  • If any corner touches powered Wiremoss with W > 0, Enzymei gains 1.5× active catalysis; it stacks additively with damage catalysis up to 2.5×.
  • Catalysis applies to the inner plant's update flow; projectiles, lasers, or field objects managed by their own objects are not guaranteed to keep accelerating.

Interactions & counters

  • WiremossPowered corner W > 0 supplies +0.5× active catalysis, stacking with damage catalysis C > 0 up to 2.5×.
  • Wheel ZombieAs a hard plant, converts the wheel's current speed into shell HP loss.
  • Lantern ImpThe shell can take the about-200 HP landing impact first while the inner plant keeps running.

In-game tooltip

Protects the plant inside. Once damaged, catalyzes that plant and temporarily boosts it. Can catalyze proactively if activated by Wiremoss.
