Burdock Batter (牛蒡击球手; pinyin: Niú​bàng Jī​qiúshǒu) is melee plant in the Chinese version of Plants vs. Zombies 2 introduced in the v3.0.6 Arbor Day update. Burdock Batter can melee zombies with its leftmost head when they get into its melee range. Its melee attack knock back zombies by a small amount and can also attack backwards. When a pea passes by Burdock Batter, it has a chance to do either one of two hits; a straightball hit and a curveball hit.

When Burdock Batter hits a straightball, the pea hit will travel faster and deal more damage to the first zombie it hits. When Burdock Batter hits a curveball, the pea will be lobbed to the farthest zombie in the lane and stun upon impact. Burdock Batter's hits occur in intervals and not all peas that pass by it will effected, nor will it boost peas when using melee attacks.

Origins

Burdock Batter is based on the root of a burdock plant, plants in the Arctium genus of the family Asteraceae, a root with a long history of usage in cuisine and medicine in East Asia.

Trivia

• Burdock Batter is the second support plant that exclusively buffs pea shooting plants, with the first being Torchwood.
• If Burdock Batter encounters a pea coming from the left (Split Pea, Gatling Pea Zombie, etc.), it will still shoot the pea to the right.
• It reuses the sounds Hammer Flower uses.
• In the trailer it was revealed in, it uses Hot Date's audio but lower pitched.
