Strategies[]
With[]
All-Star Zombie can be quite a menace to your opponent both defensively and offensively. On top of his good stats for his cost, his Armored 1 trait allows him to withstand attacks more efficiently, while his Frenzy trait lets him plow through weak plants and deal damage to your opponent. His Untrickable trait makes him immune to tricks, further enhancing his durability.
Since he is in the sports tribe, Team Mascot can increase his stats to make him survive longer and hit harder, while Zombie Coach can make him immune to damage for a turn. Ancient Vimpire can boost him every time he destroys a plant, although this combo is limited to The Smash. Even then, All-Star Zombie is a very potent threat under all circumstances, so he shouldn't have much of a problem fitting into any deck.
Against[]
All-Star Zombie is a dangerous zombie, even on his own, and his Untrickable trait makes him immune to tricks, which drastically limits counterplay options. Certain cards such as Eyespore, Briar Rose or Toadstool if unboosted, are able to kill him directly. If those weren't options, fighting with fire would be your best bet, Plants such as Pecanolith or Aloesaurus, can help wear him down. Each plant hero must rely on their unique strategies and plant selection to effectively handle the All-Star Zombie.
In the old title screen, All-Star Zombie's helmet has the badge symbol that represents zombie heroes, but his helmet depicts a different-looking skull in-game.
Also, on the title screen, All-Star Zombie's shirt seems to be missing the skull he has in-game.
In the Plants vs. Zombies Heroes launch trailer, he had his Football Cannon from the Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare series, though he doesn't have it in-game.
He, Bobblehead, and Line-dancing-zombie are the only zombies to have their name changed in Plants vs. Zombies Heroes.
