Appearances
Tutorial: Piñata Party

Strategy
Be careful when you see a Swashbuckler Zombie behind the docks. Put a Potato Mine behind the last spot where the Swashbuckler Zombie is about to land, but put it before he appears. Like the regular Zombie, it takes 10 hits to defeat. To make sure to keep it away from land, use a plant such as a Kernel-pult's butter to stun it and make it fall into the ocean or a Coconut Cannon to fire its projectile at the swinging zombie. However, the projectiles must be timed carefully.

Trivia

 * A Kernel-pult can make Swashbuckler Zombie fall into the ocean if it throws butter on it.
 * The Swashbuckler Zombie has a chance of not landing in the lawn, failing its attempt and automatically falling into the ocean (Insta-kill) however, this is pretty rare.
 * The Swashbuckler Zombie was one of the 3 zombies to get a new christmas look for the 5 Days of Festivus, along with the Pianist Zombie and the Poncho Zombie.
