The All-Star Zombie is a zombie in Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare. All-Star Zombie is a playable character on the zombie's side. All-Star Zombie is classified as a powerful tank in the zombie fraction. All-Star Zombies have higher health than any zombie or plant (200 health). Due to its health, it could tank on multiple hits making them resistance to most plant attacks. It even survive a direct hit from Potato Mines (only if its health is over 175). However, it is the slowest character in the team making them ineffective in chasing foes. All-Star Zombie is armed with an Imp Punt ability which can deal high splash damage to a group of plants. Sprint Tackle ability allows All star Zombie to tackle wounded opponents vanquishing them or knocking them out of the battle or used to escape threat from plants especially Chomper. Dummy Shield ability allows the All-Star Zombie to create temporary shield to itself and its team from plant attacks. Its plant rival is the Chomper.

Description
''All-Star Zombie is always the first one on the field, and the last to leave. He uses suppression fire to hold the Plants at bay, and his Tackle Dummies are the best offensive linemen around.''

Variants

Primary Weapon
The Football Cannon is the All-Star Zombie's primary weapon. It is armed with a high-powered Football Cannon capable to hurl footballs at high rate dealing a high amount of damage especially at close range and suppressing plants. It is extremely powerful since Football Cannon has unlimited ammo and never reloads but will overheat if used too long putting All-Star Zombie in a vulnerable state.

Imp Punt
The Imp goes forward and explodes after a short time.

Sprint Tackle
The All-Star Zombie rushes forward, serving as a short-ranged attack.

Dummy Shield
The All-Star Zombie summons a shield to protect itself.

Long Bomb
Variant of Imp Punt, the All-Star Zombie kicks it up very high, explodes when it touches something.

Ultra Tackle
Variant of Sprint Tackle, it does more damage but has a longer recharge time.

Shield Decoy
Variant of Dummy Shield, the player can have more of them but it is weaker.

Supercharged Football Coolant
The Supercharged Football Coolant (i.e. water) reduces the amount of heat each ball generates when shot.

Overheat Reduction
The weapon is almost guaranteed to not overheat, as long as this mod is installed.

Super Football Compression
By the compressing the footballs before firing them the weapon damage has increased.

Team Vanquish
The All-Star Zombie's high health makes it the toughest opponent to deal. Since other plants' health is less than the All-Star Zombie's, it has a high chance to win. Sprint Tackle is useful and serves as a finishing move; it can be used to finish off any wounded plants or used for escaping thread when things are not going well. An Imp Punt can be used to get rid of group of plants, getting a multiple Vanquish streak at once. However, its primary weakness is Chomper. Chomper can instant kill All-Star Zombie and it is not fast enough to escape. All-Star Zombie is slow and vulnerable when plants gang up on it.
