Health
In Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare, Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2, and Plants vs. Zombies: Battle for Neighborville all characters have a certain amount of health present with them which dictates the survivability of each character. This can vary between classes, but is usually a number that is evenly divisible by 25.
When a character first spawns, their health is at 100% capacity. When their health reaches 0, the player is "Vanquished," or defeated, and their character's body will drop to the ground as a ragdoll. This is when the character is considered dead but they may be revived by other teammates.
Health per playable class
On average, Plant classes have more health and variation than Zombie classes but Zombie classes deal larger amounts of damage than Plant classes.

Losing health
- Getting hit by enemy weapons, attacks or abilities.
- Falling into a bottomless pit or into deep water (instant kill).
- Being hit by environmental hazards (instant kill in most cases).
- Going "out of bounds" (instant kill preceded by a five-three second countdown).
Vanquishment
When health falls down to 0 (or, if enough damage is dealt, it can become a negative number), the target is vanquished, meaning they are knocked down to the ground and will be rendered unable to attack on their own and can be considered dead. However, if an ally is nearby, the player can be revived by their ally (which will restore the vanquished player's health to 50%, however, in Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2, Sunflowers and Scientists can revive their allies back to full health), but doing so puts their ally at risk of being Vanquished as well. While being in this revive-able state, the player is put into the respawn cycle and can choose to respawn. Some attacks, namely Chomper's Chomp attack while executed from behind or while burrowing or Cozmic Brainz's primary weapon while at its third charge level, will (if successful) render the player unrevivable.
Vanquishment is directly the method of scoring in Team Vanquish (and indirectly in Vanquish Confirmed!). In Team Vanquish, the player must, as the name says, vanquish an enemy player to score a point for their team, but if the vanquished player is revived, it will subtract one point from the opposing team's point count. In Vanquish Confirmed!, Vanquishment is only indirectly the way of scoring, as while an enemy must be vanquished in order to gain points, the vanquish will only yield a point once the player (or an ally) collects the orb that the vanquished player drops.
Being vanquished in Gardens & Graveyards as a plant and not being revived means that the player will respawn a moderate distance from the garden. Zombies will respawn on one of multiple spawn points which are all located within in a predetermined spawn zone. If an Engineer or Engineer variant has built a teleporter , a purple door will appear, and zombies will be able to use this to get closer to the garden easier. In Herbal Assault, the respawn mechanism is reversed. Zombies now spawn a moderate distance away from the objective they defend while plants spawn within a specific spawn zone. The portal technique will return as well, except only Roses and Rose variants can build the teleporter and the appearing door is green.
