User blog:Venera651/PvZH--Nutcase

Nutcase is a zombie hero in Plants vs. Zombies Heroes, and the leader of the Crazy and Guardian classes. His signature superpower is Roll Out, which deals 2 damage to all Plants (enemy units) in a lane and protects all Zombies (friendly units) in that lane from damage for that turn.

He is the hero version of Wall-Nut .

Origins

His design is based off of a video[1] from Dorkly that imagines a Wall-Nut being zombified after being bitten by a Buckethead Zombie.

His name is a pun on the term "nutcase", which refers to the fact that he is insane and a nut.

Strategies

Nutcase likes to swarm the field with Team-Up units to guard his heavy hitters. Fireworks Zombie puts Mirror-Nut to work, and Orchestra Conductor helps Spineapple give a boost to the defensive plants.

With

Nutcase's combination of defensive plants and hard-hitting but fragile cards makes for some interesting strategies. A wall of defensive plants like Wall-Nut and Potato Mine can protect dancing zombies while Aerobics Instructor buffs them. His amphibious cards can also guard the amphibious lane fairly well and even dish out damage with strength boosts.

Nutcase's cards tend to favor getting harmed; this fairs well, as Fireworks Zombie can activate these abilities, reliably dealing damage to the enemy and activating abilities for zombies like Newspaper Zombie and plants like Potato Mine and Prickly Pear. In addition, when plants like Hot Date, Guacodile, and Pear Cub get destroyed, Valkyrie benefits as well.

Nutcase's major disadvantages are a lack of card draw and reliable removal. He also doesn't have a good way to actually boost the health of his Crazy cards, so direct damage cards such as Berry Blast can easily wipe them out. Splash Damage can also break through his defenses, so try to remove Splash Damage cards such as Lightning Reed and Snapdragon. Doom-Shroom Doom-Shroom may also backfire as your Crazy cards may be destroyed as well. However, Nutcase can protect Zombies that are in the open with damage cards and even move them with Gardening Gloves.

Against

Nutcase is a tricky fellow to handle; with access to high health and high strength, he's a formidable foe that can swarm his field with tough zombies and protect them with Team-Up plants. Try to use Deadly and Strikethrough to get past his defenses. With normal plant heroes, damage cards such as Sour Grapes and Bluesberry can destroy his Crazy zombies; however, be careful with using the former against Nut decks. Weed Spray can also help with Grass Cannon or Spor N' Gor. Splash Damage cards are useful, as they can damage all Zombies in a lane, damaging as many as 6 targets.

A deck that focuses around Mirror-Nut, Newspaper Zombie, and other cards that benefit from damage is another story. In this case, hard removal will be needed. Whack-a-Zombie, Chomper, and stat-lowering cards such as Water Balloons are useful for dealing with Nutcase's defense while Doom-Shroom deals with anything else getting out of hand.
