Sneezing Zombie

From Plants vs. Zombies Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

Sneezing Zombie is an event zombie card in Plants vs. Zombies Heroes and a member of the PvZH Beastly Icon.pngBeastly class. She costs 4BrainPvZH.png to play and has 2StrengthPvZH.png/4HeartPvZH.png. She does not have any traits, and her ability prevents all plants and the plant hero from being healed while she is on the field and gives all plants -1StrengthPvZH.png/-1HeartPvZH.png when she is played. This ability persists until all Sneezing Zombies are removed from the field.

She was introduced in update 1.18.13, along with Transfiguration, Go-Nuts, Witch Hazel, Haunted Pumpking, Ketchup Mechanic, Fraidy Cat, Exploding Fruitcake, Unexpected Gifts, and Frankentuar. She is now craftable as of update 1.24.6.

Strategies

With

This zombie has poor stats for a 4BrainPvZH.png zombie but has a powerful ability. Similar to Bonus Track Buckethead, she has an ability which can shut down a specialty of the plants side. In this case, she shuts down healing, which is the PvZH Solar Icon.pngSolar class' specialty, making her a good counter against all Solar heroes and their healing card synergies, especially Pepper M.D., Venus Flytraplanet, Heartichoke, Astro Vera, and Aloesaurus. As The Smash, if you are facing Grass Knuckles or Chompzilla, this can shut down both specialties if you use both Sneezing Zombie and Bonus Track Buckethead.

However, her ability is useless against non-Solar heroes as they do not have access to healing cards, with the exception of the PvZH Guardian Icon.pngGuardian class, which has Poppin' Poppies for healing. This means that you should not always rely on this zombie as your opponent may not be in either of those classes. Even if they are, their deck may not be focused on healing.

Fortunately, her second ability is quite strong, and allows you to make some use of her should her first ability turn out to be useless. Her ability to give all plants -1StrengthPvZH.png/-1HeartPvZH.png is really powerful against swarms like Puff-Shrooms and glass cannons, essentially acting like a more powerful Acid Rain which slowly clears the field. But as mentioned above, try to not rely on this zombie too much and use her as a supporter instead as she has poor stats for 4BrainPvZH.png.

Each Beastly hero has their own way of using her effectively:

  • Immorticia can use Teleport or Teleportation Zombie to play Sneezing Zombie in the Zombie Tricks phase as a surprise for the plants and can make sure it does not get destroyed, though your opponent can play healing cards before you can play her.
  • The Smash can play her earlier with Flag Zombie or play her with Weed Spray to wipe the field clear if it is filled with Pineclones or other 3-strength plants. Depending on the plants, he may choose to use Extinction Event or Weed Spray, the former against Pineclones, and the latter against a variety of diifferent plants. He can even combine her with Chum Champion's evolution ability on the next turn, allowing every plant with 4 or less strength to be destroyed instantly.
  • Electric Boogaloo can use PvZH Crazy Icon.pngCrazy cards to do more damage to your opponent until she is removed, and use her to remove 3-health plants that The Chickening cannot.
  • Brain Freeze can use Mixed-Up Gravedigger or Firefighter to reactivate her ability, though your opponent might take the opportunity to heal themselves.

Avoid playing her if there are no plants on the field, as her second ability will go to waste.

Against

If you are playing as any Solar or Guardian hero, especially Wall-Knight, be aware if you are going against any Beastly hero as they can play Sneezing Zombie to not only weaken all of your plants but also shut down your healing abilities. Once she is on the field, do not play any cards that has to do with healing like Heartichoke, Venus Flytrap, Pepper M.D., Astro Vera, or Venus Flytraplanet, or if you are a Guardian hero, Poppin' Poppies, as they won't activate their abilities.

You would also want to avoid playing a lot of weak plants on the board, especially if you are playing as a PvZH Kabloom Icon.pngKabloom hero, as they will get weaker or be destroyed when she is played.

Thankfully, she does have low stats, so you can play cards that can do 4 damage like Zapricot, two Banana Bombs, or use instant-kills like Whack-a-Zombie.

You could Bounce her so that you can heal yourself once again, but think carefully before doing so if you have many low-strength/health plants, as her second ability can be activated again.
