Party Thyme

Party Thyme is a premium plant Teammate in Plants vs. Zombies Heroes. It costs 2 sun, has 1 strength and 5 health when first planted. Its special ability is that, if a plant does a Bonus Attack while Party Thyme is on the field, the Plant Hero will gain an additional Teammate.

Origins
It is based on the genus Thymus, or thyme, an evergreen herb used for culinary and medical purposes. Its name is a portmanteau of the words "party time" and "thyme."

Card description
A real extrovert, this one.

Strategies
Is ability is a bit lackluster, because not much plants can get a bonus attack. However, what makes this a great plant to use is its high health for 2 sun, as well as 1 strength. Using this for the second turn is a great choice as it can be troubling for the zombie hero to dispose of. Using a plant like Re-Peat Moss is a great combo as the player can get a card back for activating Re-Peat Moss' bonus attack. Repeater however, if paired with this, would be a much stronger combo, as Repeater will always do a bonus attack every turn, and that's equal to an extra Teammate for every turn.

Counters
If the plant hero uses a plant that gets a bonus attack, try and target this. If this is placed early, try and wait a bit, because dealing 5 damage is difficult to do early on. Using tricks (bouncing tricks are preferred) is the best strategies to getting rid of this plant.

Trivia

 * This is the second plant that is based on thyme, with the first being Thyme Warp.
 * Despite the fact that both Thyme Warp and Party Thyme are based on the thyme plant, they look very unlike each other.
