"I don't want to brag, but hanging out in a tub full of ice-cream all day ... not a bad gig if you can get it."

Banana Split is an event plant card in Plants vs. Zombies Heroes and a member of the Mega-Grow class. It costs 4 to play and has 4/4. It does not have any traits, and its ability makes a Half-Banana on each of the two lanes adjacent to it when it is destroyed, unless those lanes are either aquatic lanes, or occupied by a plant without the Team-Up trait. Its closest zombie counterpart is Template:PvZHLink.

It was added in update 1.14.13, along with Template:PvZHLink, Health-Nut, Secret Agent, High-Voltage Currant, Template:PvZHLink, Gargantuar-Throwing Imp, Imposter, and Zombie High Diver.

It was made available in the Weekly Event which ran from May 2, 2017 to May 9, 2017. It was made craftable in update 1.16.10.

Origins

It is based on the dessert in real life with the same name.

Its ability is a reference to how a banana split is made: by cutting the banana in half.

Card description

"I don't want to brag, but hanging out in a tub full of ice-cream all day ... not a bad gig if you can get it."

Update history

Update 1.14.13

Added to the game.

Update 1.16.10

Became craftable.

Update 1.24.6

Description change: Was originally "I don't want to brag, but hanging out in tub full of ice cream all day ... not a bad gig if you can get it."

Strategies

With

Banana Split has average stats for a 4 plant, with 4/4. However, its ability can be useful for blocking dangerous threats next door (minus the aquatic lane). If there are two strong zombies on adjacent lanes, you can play Banana Split in front of the first strong zombie and let it get destroyed. In general, you can treat it as Barrel Roller Zombie, but with better stats and the lack of any traits.

You can also use Banana Split's ability to boost Muscle Sprout, although it requires spacing. The Half-Bananas made when the Banana Split is destroyed count as playing plants, therefore playing a Banana Split and letting it be destroyed boosts Muscle Sprout three times. Captain Combustible can also use this plant to activate Astro-Shroom's ability three times in a similar fashion to Muscle Sprout, doing 3 damage to his opponent.

Against

While Banana Split has decent stats, it does not have the Deadly trait like Barrel Roller Zombie. Still, you need to be careful when your opponent plays this as it can block powerful attacks from up to three (one for Banana Split itself and two for the Half-Bananas next turn) of your strong zombies.

Trivia

Before update 1.16.10, it would only play the animation of itself splitting in half if there were no open adjacent lanes.

 ===Against===
-You can treat Banana Split as a stronger plant version of Barrel Roller Zombie as it makes Half-Bananas next door when destroyed. While both Banana Split and the Half-Bananas have strong stats, they do not have '''Amphibious''' or {{PvZH Icon|deadly}}'''[[Card#Deadly|Deadly]]''' like Barrel Roller Zombie. However, you need to be careful when your opponent plays this as it can block powerful attacks from your strong zombies on adjacent lanes, protecting your opponent for at least one turn.

+===Half-Banana===
-If you want to destroy it instantly, [[Cakesplosion]] or [[Rocket Science]] is enough to destroy Banana Split, although it will still make Half-Bananas next door.
+''See [[Half-Banana]].''
-To destroy the Half-Bananas, the easiest solutions are [[Weed Spray]] or [[The Chickening]]. However, it is best to do this as quickly as possible, as the opposing hero can easily boost them to render them less vulnerable to these solutions.
