Fireworks Zombie is a premiumsuper-rarezombiecard in Plants vs. Zombies Heroes and a member of the Crazy class. He costs 3 to play and has 3/4. He does not have any traits, and his ability does 1 damage to all plants and zombies on the field, including him, when he is played. His closest plant counterparts are Sour Grapes and Galacta-Cactus.
He is based on a pyrotechnician, a person in the entertainment industry who is responsible for the safe storage and use of pyrotechnics such as fireworks.
His description may be a reference to how many mushrooms in this game have 1 health, and thus, are able to be cleared with his ability. It also makes a pun on "fireworks," seperating the word to sound like a sentence.

Strategies
With
Fireworks Zombie can clear weak plants off the field, and also has decent stats. As his description says, this is a good method of clearing out mushrooms since they tend to have low health, examples being Shroom for Two, Poison Mushroom, and Mushroom Ringleader.
However, his ability also targets your other zombies on the field, slightly weakening them and reducing their chances of survival, or outright destroying them if they have low health. This drawback only has synergy with zombies that require themselves to be hurt in order for their ability to activate, such as Gas Giant, Newspaper Zombie and Jester.
Also, when using this against a field of mushrooms, beware of Punish-Shroom, since it will heavily damage your defenses. Also, be very careful if there are any plants with "When hurt" abilities such as Mirror-Nut, unless there are many nuts on the field, or Hibernating Beary, or worst case scenario, if Briar Rose, along with many other flowers and Transfiguration are on the field.
As Impfinity, Fireworks Zombie can see multiple uses. Mixed-Up Gravedigger and In-Crypted can re-activate his ability, allowing him to do more damage, whereas Graveyard is useful for surprising your opponent. You can also play him in Laser Base Alpha if the field is full of tough plants, as he will destroy all of them with the Deadly trait if he manages to hurt them. However, doing so will destroy all other zombies he hurts as well, and as such it's only useful for clearing the field of strong plants in preparation for a bigger play.
Fireworks Zombie can also find himself a spot in Z-Mech's professional deck with Zombie Middle Manager, as Zombie Middle Manager, should he survive, will be heavily boosted if there are enough professional zombies on the field.
Against
This zombie is a nuisance thanks to his ability, being able to weaken or destroy a lot of plants at once with the right combo. But after his ability activates, he is only a zombie with average stats. Cards like Whack-a-Zombie and Berry Blast can instantly destroy him, and if you can't play tricks to remove him, you can simply resort to playing a plant on his lane in order to deal with him. Certain plants like Mirror-Nut, Hibernating Beary, Punish-Shroom, Briar Rose, Transfiguration and Pear Cub can also discourage your opponent from playing him.
