Abracadaver is a premium super-rare zombie card in Plants vs. Zombies Heroes and a member of the PvZH Crazy IconCrazy class. He costs 3BrainPvZH to play and has 3StrengthPvZH/2HeartPvZH. He has the Gravestone trait, and his ability does 3 damage to a random plant every time he does damage to the plant hero.

In the mini-boss battle for IMPfestation Ahead!, Impfinity starts with an Abracadaver on each ground lane.

Origins[]

King Magic

He is based on a magician, a person who practices and performs magic, one of the oldest performing arts in the world where the audiences are entertained by stage tricks or illusions.

His name is a portmanteau of "abracadabra," referring to the famous incantation, and "cadaver," meaning a dead body, which is referring to the zombie himself.

The rabbit on his top hat is a reference to the famous "pulling a rabbit out of a hat" magic trick.

His description references the phrase, "What's the magic word?" In this case, the magic word is "please." This could be a reference to the parenting trick used to teach young children to be polite.

Strategies[]

With[]

This zombie can potentially be very dangerous, hitting both your opponent and a random plant which could be essential to their strategy, and possibly destroy that plant before it has a chance to attack. But to do that, Abracadaver must damage your opponent. Due to his low health, it is recommended to destroy, move, or Bounce any plant that separates Abracadaver from any plants on the same lane, then watch him wreak havoc. Bungee Plumber, Cakesplosion, and The Chickening are all good candidates for removing plants.

Abracadaver is also a good candidate for Moon Base Z since he will have the Weird unused PvZH iconOvershoot trait, allowing his ability to activate immediately and possibly destroy the plant in front of him.

Each hero has their own way of using Abracadaver well with their other class:

A good zombie to bring along with Abracadaver would be Jester, since they function very differently from each other (with Jester needing to be hurt while Abracadaver being unable to afford to be hurt) and thus requiring different counters to take them out efficiently, resulting in some mind games; your opponent may play a weak plant that can damage Abracadaver to prevent their plants from taking 3 damage, only to find out it was Jester.

Against[]

Since this zombie comes from a gravestone, Grave Buster can be used. If he comes out, Sour Grapes, Kernel Corn, or any damaging plant or trick is also a great counter to this zombie. Whipvine or Sweet Potato can move Abracadaver onto a lane with a plant that can dispose of him. He is not that hard to defeat due to his incredibly low health, so he can easily be defeated by any card that can do damage.

However, what makes it difficult to defeat him is his Gravestone trait. Because of the many 3-brain Gravestone zombies in the game, it can be risky to use a plant against the gravestone because it could be something like Jester or Smelly Zombie instead. Making the wrong choice can result in key plants being taken out and hindering your strategy.

A way to negate Abracadaver's ability is to use either Peel Shield or have Soul Patch on the field.

You may also want to get rid of environments that activate his ability, such as Moon Base Z, Ice Moon, and Laser Base Alpha.

Trivia[]

  • He shoots the same projectiles as Sweet Potato, Seedling, Quasar Wizard, and Mirror-Nut.
  • He shares the same name as a zombie magician villain from the 1998 TV series, The Powerpuff Girls.
