Banana Peel

Banana Peel is a galactic rare plant trick card in Plants vs. Zombies Heroes and a member of the Mega-Grow class.

It costs 2 to play, and its ability moves a selected zombie to a selected lane and Conjures a fruit card. Its closest zombie counterpart is Terrify.

Origins

It is based on a banana peel, an outer covering of the banana fruit.

Its ability and description are references to the common gag of slipping on a banana peel.

Strategies

With

This is an excellent card to have in most decks. Moving a zombie out of the way of your powerful plants results in massive damage to your opponent, especially when they have a scheme with the placement of their zombies.

It is also very cheap, costing only 2. And not only that, it also Conjures a fruit, maintaining your card count. The banana card you can Conjure ranges from another Banana Peel to a Pear Pal, to a Brainana, to even a Dark Matter Dragonfruit. But in general most fruits would have their own uses.

You can also move zombies to environments that could negatively effect them (e.g., Bog of Enlightenment, Sappy Place, Spikeweed Sector, Hot Lava) or move them out of your environments so they can perform their intended functions (e.g., Solar Winds, Planet of the Grapes)

Take note that since it Conjures a card, Captain Cucumber can make the Conjured card cheaper while Dino-Roar plants will activate their Dino-Roar abilities. As a trick, it will cause Re-Peat Moss to do a bonus attack, while Fraidy Cat moves and gets boosted.

Against

You can't do much about your zombie being moved, but Sneaky heroes can pack a Smoke Bomb to move the affected zombie back into place, with +1 as a bonus. If you are playing as a Hearty hero, and you happen to have a Sumo Wrestler in a gravestone or a Terrify at the time, you can somewhat counter what they did if they moved that zombie away from a powerful plant, since you can move said plant back to that zombie's lane. Neptuna has both of these classes, so she may be the best counter for this.

Heroes like Chompzilla and Captain Combustible may be moving your Amphibious zombies because they are in the aquatic lane and unable to be taken care of without removal cards. In that case, a Beastly or Sneaky hero, preferably Brain Freeze, can swarm the aquatic lanes.

If you rely on tricks, beware of the possibility of Brainana being Conjured.
