Deck-building strategies
On this page can be found various customized decks for each hero. Check them out in case you need new strategies to destroy your single player bosses or multiplayer foes!

Gameplay
The main objective of this game is to defeat the opposing side's Hero by reducing his/her health to 0 (or by letting your opponent run out of cards to draw). That is done via the cards played on the field. There are two types of cards: Fighters (Plants/Zombies) and Tricks. In the battle phase, each one attacks. The strength of the fighter is the damage they deal to the enemy, and the health points is how much damage they can take before being destroyed. If there are no opposing cards on the same lane, the enemy Hero is attacked. Each hero has 20 points of health plus a Super-Block Meter. When damage is suffered, the Super-Block Meter will fill up randomly 1-3 blocks where a shield consists of 8 blocks. When the Mega-Block charger becomes full, the Hero will block the attack, and receive a superpower that can be saved or deployed immediately for free. Each Hero can block attacks a total of 3 times per game. Each time the Hero blocks, one shield icon below the meter will disappear.
 * Fighters are cards that stay on the field until destroyed. They all have three stats: Strength ; Health and Cost (/), plus some have special abilities that can't be ignored and makes each one unique. The player must know how to use those in their favor in order to win against tougher opponents.
 * Tricks are cards that directly affect the game by damaging or healing Fighters or Heroes, summoning or destroying Fighters, adding or removing strength or health, etc. If on the zombies side, they can only be played on the third phase of the turn. If on the plants side, they can be deployed during their phase. The only attribute associated with them is their Cost (/).
 * Superpowers are a powerful tribe of trick cards that cost 1 brain/sun each. One is given at the start of each game and you can only gain more by getting a Super-Block. There are four Superpowers in a deck: 3 regular ones that are each shared by two heroes, and 1 Signature Superpower, an exceptionally powerful move that is exclusive to the Hero.

During a game, each turn has four phases.

At the start of each turn, the total amount of sun/brains received from the last turn plus one is given, allowing that the more powerful cards are only played later on the game, so the player must not only rely on them otherwise they have nothing to play on the first turns. Each deck needs to have exactly 40 cards shared between tricks and plants/zombies. Additionally each hero has Superpowers which can't be changed and doesn't count towards the limit. It is allowed to have up to 4 copies of each card, and they are separated in basic and premium, followed by their rarity. Only 10 cards can be in your hand at once, if you already have ten cards in your hand, you cannot draw more. However, it is possible to have more than ten cards in your hand through the Bounce effect. Basic cards are purchased at the using coins that are earned after battle (15 after winning in a mission, 10 for winning a casual match, 20 for winning a ranked match, 100 after winning a boss battle, 5 after failure and zero for friendly match.). Premium cards are only obtained at the store though Premium Packs or a free pack by losing a battle multiple times (normally 4), and their rarity means the chances of obtaining them via packs is low unless there is a limited time offer that offers specific cards.
 * The first one is the Zombies Play phase, where the Zombie Hero can summon zombie Fighters;
 * The second one is the Plants Play phase, where the Plant Hero can plant both Plant Tricks and Fighters;
 * The third one is the Zombie Tricks phase, where the Zombie Hero can only play Zombie Tricks;
 * And the last one is the battle phase, where each card played battle from left to the right, so Fighters on the leftmost lane attack first and the Fighters on the rightmost lane attack last.

Heroes
Heroes are the main playable characters in Plants vs. Zombies: Heroes, and the ones required to be defeated so the game can end. Heroes have unique Superpowers, Tricks, Classes and cards who they can lead, making each one different from the others. At the end of each mission there is a Boss Battle against one of the Heroes. That hero always appears in the corner of a mission's screen. These battles have a special gimmick (like a change on the number of cards given, increased or decreased health or pre-summoned Fighters) that can have a powerful effect on the required playstyle. Starting from Mission 21 from each side, the third battle or Crisis Battle will also have a special gimmick.

Each mission consists of five stages, the Encounter Battle, a regular battle against the main opposing hero, the Teammate Battle 1, against a different hero, the Mini-Boss Battle, which has a gimmick in the later missions, the Teammate Battle 2, against yet another different hero, and finally, the Boss Battle, which has a strong gimmick against the main opposing hero.

Trivia

 * It appears that the art style for this game was originally meant to be the one in Plants vs. Zombies Adventures, as shown on a beta gameplay photo, but ultimately took on a more toonish art style resembling the one from Plants vs. Zombies 2.
 * The icon of the 1.0.11 update marks the first time where a plant (Green Shadow) is featured on the game's icon instead of a zombie.
 * As noted by the official website and game description game wise, this is the third mobile game and mode where you can play as both the plants and zombies after Plants vs. Zombies and the Chinese version of Plants vs. Zombies 2.
 * Plants vs. Zombies Heroes is the only mobile Plants vs. Zombies game to be played vertically.
 * Whenever a legendary fighter is placed on the field, the opposing Hero will have a shocked or surprised animation different from their hurt or worried animation.
 * All the new playable characters on Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2 appear on this game as heroes, with the exception of Kernel Corn and Captain Deadbeard, who are legendary fighters.
 * When your Hero is low on health, the current theme changes to a suspenseful, drastic one, still keeping the same melody.
 * Similarly, when the battle progresses, as well as when one hero takes some damage, the music will slightly change, usually becoming more suspenseful as the match goes on.
 * When it comes to the cards, most of the plants will be facing right and all of the zombies will be facing left. This makes sense as plants would look right to shoot at zombies coming in from the right in many of their games.
 * Interestingly enough, in the main menu the plant heroes are facing left and the zombie heroes are facing right.
