Arbiter-X (仲裁者-X型; pinyin: zhòngcái zhě-X xíng) is the eleventh zombie encountered in Sky City in the Chinese version of Plants vs. Zombies 2. He takes up three lanes, makes zombies around it and all zombies in all lanes behind him semi-transparent, making them unable to be seen or hit by plants, but unlike Bandit Zombie, they can still be seen by the player. Upon reaching the player's ship, Arbiter-X rams it, causing the former to take massive damage while plants in the third row and itself are destroyed.

Origins

His name and ability bears a strong resemblance to Protoss Arbiter, a judicator-class support unit from Starcraft. The overall design resembles B-2 Spirit stealth bomber.

Strategies

Arbiter-X is in essence a much stronger Glitter Zombie. A Groundcherry will enable the hidden zombies to be visible to plants so they can attack them, but seed slots are usually too valuable for this and there are no area-of-effect aerial plants, so it would not help much. Additionally, the Arbiter-X can't conceal himself, making him still vulnerable to many attacks. Level 2 Kiwifruits can destroy him easily. Saucer Squash can stun this jet, buying time for others to enter the line of fire.

Take note that Caulipower's projectile will only damage him instead of hypnotizing him. Even then, Arbiter-X inflicts massive damage to illusion zombies as well as the hypnotized ones, so they wouldn't be too useful anyway.

Air Raid

An Arbiter-X will appear as the final boss of the Air Raid Brain Buster, and will be first accompanied by Buckethead Pilot Zombie and Conehead Pilot Zombie. Destroy them as fast as possible as they will make the fight more dangerous. While he seems easy at first, once he reaches half health, he will start to throw bullet patterns that have narrower gaps between them to escape through than your plane can fit. This will be virtually impossible if the player is low on health. If the player does not defeat him as fast as possible, he will cause the player to spend countless gems on continues or retry the entire level.
