Welcome to the official page for zombie balance changes in Plants vs. Zombies 2: Supernova! This page will try to be as detailed as possible regarding all changes that have been made to the zombies. As I have next to no experience in balancing zombies, a lot of these changes are my first or second stab at changing the power level of the game. If you have any suggestions to improve the zombie balance, please message me on Discord (Ballistic#2386). These changes are relative to vanilla.
