Chompzilla is a plant hero in Plants vs. Zombies Heroes and the leader of the PvZH Mega-Grow Icon.pngMega-Grow and PvZH Solar Icon.pngSolar classes. Her signature superpower is Devour, which instantly destroys one zombie with the lowest health on the field. If there are 2 or more zombies with the lowest health, Chompzilla can decide which zombie to destroy.

She is the hero version of Chomper.

Origins

Chomper1.png

Chompzilla is based on Chomper, a major recurring plant in the Plants vs. Zombies series, who in turn is based on the Venus flytrap (Dionaea muscipula), with her colorization being reminiscent of Chomper's appearance in the original game.

Chompzilla's name, massive size, and destructive attitude are all based on the Japanese kaiju character Godzilla. The inclusion of a Godzilla based character in a comic book based game may be a reference to Godzilla's officially licensed comics produced by Marvel Comics.

Chompzilla's tentacles may either be based on Naval Piranha from the Yoshi series, or Biollante, a plant/human/dinosaur hybrid monster featured in the movie Godzilla vs. Biollante who shares many characteristics with Chompzilla, such as gender, appearance, and powers.

The name of Chompzilla's first strategy deck is a pun on War and Peace, a novel written by the Russian author Leo Tolstoy.

Strategies

PvZHeroes.com strategy

Chompzilla is always hungry for more Zombies to destroy with her Solar Tricks. Healing effect helps her stay alive while the Zombies keep dying.

With

Chompzilla's Mega-Grow and Solar classes allow her to generate lots of sun early on, then boost plants to overwhelm the opponent, especially with plants like Sunflower and Twin Sunflower as it will put the zombie hero in a dilemma; if they keep them alive, Chompzilla will get more sun for expensive cards, and if they front the plant with a zombie, Chompzilla can play cards to destroy said zombies or use the opportunity to make another play.

Solar plants benefit greatly from playing Mega-Grow cards because many of them have useful traits and abilities, like PvZH Strikethrough Icon.pngStrikethrough, healing, and instant destruction. With Chompzilla boosting their stats and making them do bonus attacks, they become more devastating against the opponent as they can inflict extreme damage while unburdened by zombies blocking their way. On the other hand, Mega-Grow plants don't synergize with Solar cards very much, with the exception of healing cards like Geyser or 2nd-Best Taco of All Time, and are pretty independent of each other.

Chompzilla's advantage over other Solar heroes when using a healing deck is that she can make her Venus Flytraps generally much stronger by using Fertilize, or by using Plant Food to give them a smaller boost, but do damage and heal her instantly. She also has access to Geyser for some cheap mass-healing. Chompzilla can also use healing to boost Pepper M.D., which in turn can boost Potted Powerhouse. She can also put her strong plants in Venus Flytraplanet for greater effect.

Chompzilla, while not as powerful as Solar Flare in terms of aggro decks, is still powerful in her own right. Despite lacking soft removal cards like Berry Blast, Chompzilla can use moving cards such as Sweet Pea to get zombies out of water lanes. As previously stated, she can also buff up the Solar Class' PvZH Strikethrough Icon.pngStrikethrough Cards using tricks like Fertilize and Plant Food for extra destruction. She can also incorporate Magnifying Grass into her aggro decks, which can serve as an effective finisher if Chompzilla has generated enough sun.

Chompzilla is probably the best hero to use Onion Rings with, as the Solar class has a lot of plants with low stats that it can remedy, like Fume-Shroom , Morning Glory , Venus Flytrap and Sunflower. Lil' Buddy is notable for being a free plant that heals 2 with some other useful attributes, and when supported well, they can easily overwhelm her opponent.

Chompzilla's main weaknesses include her lack of Amphibious plants and direct damage cards, as well as her inability to counter gravestones. Aquatic threats are a bit harder to cover, so she has to resort to Whack-a-Zombie, Squash, Three-Headed Chomper, and Devour to destroy them immediately, or move them with Sweet Potato, Sweet Pea, Banana Peel, and Whipvine. Unfortunately, she has no answer to gravestones, and she can often falter against such opponents unless her plays manage to overwhelm them by luck or foresight.

Against

Chompzilla has a deadly arsenal of Mega-Grow plants that can take you down in a few hits and Solar plants that can be very annoying to handle which get worse with Mega-Grow tricks. Use Rocket Science, Cut Down to Size, or PvZH Deadly Icon.pngDeadly zombies to deal with her plants. Sending out threats in aquatic lanes is a good way to take a big chunk of Chompzilla's health and provide a distraction for a more powerful zombie somewhere else, as long as she can't get rid of them.

Try to swarm the field, as Chompzilla can easily pick zombies off if left alone. If you cannot swarm her, then try using high-damage cards to make Chompzilla's efforts to heal less effective.
