Cactus (PvZ: GW)

For the Cactus in other versions, see Cactus

The Cactus is a re-occuring plant in the Plants vs. Zombies series. It serves a playable purpose in Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare as a playable character on the Plants faction, and serves as the marksman of the faction.

As Cactus
Cactus should play far from normal combat, as it is very outclassed by the All-Star Zombie in closer encounterments. Finding vantage points and camping there will allow a Cactus to snipe off their opponents with ease, sometimes catching opponents off-guard. Cactus should also be weary of nearby Scientist Zombies, who may be able to teleport next to it and kill it instantly. Staying out of sight is suggested in that aspect.

Along with Cactus
When Cactus is placed strategically, it can provide helpful support to all nearby plants by wounding or killing nearby zombies. Keeping it protected is important too, as many of the zombies can easily take out Cactus if they manage to get near it.

Against Cactus
When up against a Cactus, it is important to keep behind cover. Making quick shots at the cactus by randomly popping out of cover can confuse it, and allow the zombies to deal more damage to it than it can to them. Scientist Zombies can teleport near them, allowing for an easy kill while the Cactus is attacking another zombie.
