Weed Whack


 * Not to be confused with Weed Whacker.

Weed Whack is a super-rare plant superpower trick card in Plants vs. Zombies Heroes, and a member of the class. It costs 1 to play, and its ability gives a selected zombie -2/-2.

Origins
Its name is a pun on a Weed Whacker, a device used to trim grass and weeds, and its flavor text makes a reference to it.

Statistics

 * Class: Solar
 * Tribes: Vine Superpower Trick
 * Ability: A Zombie gets -2/-2.
 * Rarity: Super-Rare

Card description
Good for weeding out Zombies.

Update 1.2.11

 * Restricted to Rose and Solar Flare.

With
If this is given as your starting superpower, you can use it to destroy an early threat like Tennis Champ, Mini-Ninja, or a 2-health zombie that costs 1 brain, like Dog Walker or Zombie Chicken. If this is given to you mid-game, you can use it to weaken a big threat, like Octo Zombie. However, if there are multiple zombies with low health, Scorched Earth may be a better alternative if your hero is Solar Flare.

Against
Getting -2 on both strength and health is actually pretty devastating in the early-game, as it either destroys that zombie or turns it into a useless wall. Fortunately, it can only affect one zombie per game, and its power diminishes in the late-game. Counter this trick as you would with Squash and Goatify: Having your team equally boosted.

Trivia

 * It resembles a Grave Buster as it appears in Plants vs. Zombies 2 without eyes and slightly more light green and translucent.
