Lore
Starcone Master was once an ordinary zombie. Years ago, his Starcones were lost in Maple Lake, and he sank into despair. Hurriclover saw a heart as clear as Maple Lake and granted him stronger Starcones. Then he taught Starcone techniques among zombies and used them widely against plants, which was not exactly what Hurriclover intended.
He still stays in the cave at the lower end of Maple Lake, praying. When the plant group arrives, he believes they have interrupted a sacred place. It is called prayer, but in the end the answer is still a flying, expanding Starcone. Starcone faith is simple and direct.
Mechanics
Role
Area miniboss · Starcone summons and orbiting shield
- Summons Starcone Zombies; when too many are on the field, he stops summoning more.
- Floats between different field regions; explosions can knock him rapidly in the opposite direction.
- During the orbiting shield move, the Starcone radius expands outward and returns. This is a good pea-output window and a stable time for Cherry Bomb to deal double damage.
- At several health thresholds, he gains additional Starcones. Starcones deal continuous damage when touching plants, but Wall-nut takes reduced damage.
