Dummy Shield in game

Dummy Shield

Dummy Shield is an ability of the All-Star that creates a Dummy Shield. The dummy blocks plants' attacks and protects zombies from their fire, similar to the Tallnut Battlement. It can be destroyed by both plants and zombies. Its alternate abilities are the Shield Decoy and, in Garden Warfare 2 only, the Future Dummy. It takes 30 seconds to recharge one Dummy Shield.

Strategies

With

Dummy Shields do not exactly work like the Tallnut Battlement, as it higher than the Tallnut Battlement but is not as wide, allowing it to fully shield a zombie. This can be used to provide cover for fellow zombies during an attack, and you can also hide behind it yourself if needed. In Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2, keep in mind the Imps in and out their mechs, may still be vulnerable behind Dummy Shields, as they are not as protective at the bottom, and Mechs are larger than the Dummy Shields.

Similar to how Spawnable Zombies attack Tallnut Battlements, Weeds will attack Dummy Shields on sight, making them a good distraction if the player is getting swarmed by Weeds. Be aware though, attacking said Weeds will cause them to switch targets and go after you.

Trivia

  • It has duct tape on its hips, which is likely to keep it together, or to fix holes.
  • For some reason, Tallnut Battlement has more health, but both can be set out twice before recharging and four can be set out at a time.
  • Dummy Shields in real life are very durable.
  • In the Backyard Battleground in Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2, there is a Dummy Shield that is "recruiting soldiers". If the player talks to it while playing as the Foot Soldier, it will explode into some coins for the player to collect.
  • If an All-Star starts a match on the soccer field, they can jump onto the shield and make a tower. This can continue until the Soccer field's effects wear off.
