Blockbuster is a Rare Breaker Rear-Guard Dirt-Guard Multi-Direction plant in Plants vs. Zombies 3. She costs 3 sun and attacks zombies in front or behind her by attacking them with her vines.

If there are any obstacles in the lane she occupies, she will immediately stop attacking zombies to attack any obstacles in her lane until all obstacles are cleared from the lawn.

Origins

Blockbuster is based on the plant with the same name and appearance from Plants vs. Zombies Heroes.

Her ability of prioritizing and destroying zombie obstacles comes from her ability to destroy any gravestones in both her lane and any surrounding lanes, as gravestones make a reappearance as an obstacle.

Upgrades

Plant Food effect

Blockbuster's Plant Food ability is named Shatter Storm. When used, Blockbuster will deal an immense amount of damage to all obstacles on the lawn, but will not target or attack any zombies.

Tacobility

Blockbuster's Tacobility is Twin Vines, which allows Blockbuster to attack with two vines at once, hitting the two closest targets.

Strategies

Blockbuster is remarkably poor at being a plant used primarily to attack zombies, due to her low damage output when compared to other attacking plants like Peashooter and Cabbage-Pult, and as such should not be considered as a purely offensive plant.

Where Blockbuster shines however, is her ability to deal an immense amount of damage to any and all Obstacles in her path, making her a prime plant to choose when facing off against particularly annoying obstacle zombies such as Donut Roller, Firewall Zombie, and Gravedigger, as she can severely weaken their associated obstacles and allow your other offensive plants to quickly destroy them with relative ease.
