PVZ 2: Arcanist Zombie

Arcanist Zombies use a variety of spells to combat the player's plants. The spell cast is determined by the color of this zombie's hand

Fire (most common): Arcanist Zombie's hands turn orange, and a blast of fire is thrown that incinerates a random plant. Countered by any ice plant.

Lightning (2nd most common): Arcanist Zombie's hands turn yellow-green, then fires a lightning bolt which destroys one plant, and electricity ricochets around, hitting the plants around (similar to a Lightning Reed bolt arc, the arc does 100 dps). Can be countered with Lightning Reed, Electric Blueberry, Electric Peashooter, Electric Currant, Magnet-shroom (Those plants absorb the lightning bolt with no ill effect)

Wind (2nd least common): Arcanist Zombie's hands turn bluish white, and a gale of wind is blown that pushes a row's plants back by 2 columns. Any plants in the back are pushed out of the map. Countered by Blover and Hurrikale. (Their wind stops Arcanist's wind casting animation / cancel's out the gale of wind)

Earth (least common): Arcanist Zombie's hands turn brown, and stones from the ground are summoned to destroy an entire row of plants. (No true counter, you can either stun it or dispatch it as soon as possible)

Health: 840 DPS

Bite Damage: 100 DPS

Speed: Basic

Special: Casts a spell every 2 tiles it treads. (Each spell takes a different amount of time to be cast, with fire being 2 seconds, lightning being 4 seconds, wind being 6 seconds, and earth being 9 seconds)

Almanac Entry: Arcanist Zombie can read, write, make his own clothing from scratch, and make medicine out of almost anything. Of course he feels disrespected by not having honorable roles outside of battles. He didn't get his education just to light mere candles or clean off dust.
