Strategies
Be careful when you see a Swashbuckler Zombie behind the docks. Put a Potato Mine behind the last spot where the Swashbuckler Zombie is about to land, but put it before it appears. Like the regular Zombie, it takes ten hits to defeat. To make sure to keep it away from land, use a plant such as a Kernel-pult's butter to stun it and make it fall into the ocean or a Coconut Cannon to fire its projectile at the swinging zombie. However, the projectiles must be timed carefully. The Lightning Reed is also very effective, if you have many of them, as they can take it down very fast. But of all the best plants you could make use of to eliminate it instantly especially in large numbers is none other than to use Blovers. However, keep in mind that they are airborne only while swinging. Therefore, use the Blover only when they are swinging.
