Current VersionPre-2021 Version

Backup Dancer Zombie is a campground zombie in Plants vs. Zombies 3. He can appear by himself or be summoned in groups of four by Disco Zombie.

Origins

Backup Dancer is based on the zombie with the same name and appearance of the original game.

Strategies

Backup Dancers have a bit more health than Browncoat Zombies but are slightly slower than them. Almost any plant should be able to take care of them when they come by themselves but you should use plants that deal splash damage or pierce through zombies when they come in groups, especially if they're being summoned constantly by Disco Zombies.
