For other uses, see Cob Cannon (disambiguation).

Cob Cannon is a colossal legendary plant card in Plants vs. Zombies Heroes and a member of the PvZH Solar IconSolar class. He costs 6SunPvZH to play and has 6StrengthPvZH/6HeartPvZH.

He does not have any traits, and his ability gives zombies on his lane and the lanes adjacent to him -1StrengthPvZH/-1HeartPvZH when he is played, while his Team-Up Evolution ability instantly destroys a selected zombie. His closest zombie counterpart is Primordial Cheese Shover.

Origins[]

Cob Cannon1

He is based on the plant in Plants vs. Zombies with the same name and appearance. However, based on the fact that his front wheels are smaller than his rear wheels, and that his corn cob points upwards rather than laying flat when idle, he resembles Corn Mortar, a plant in Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare, more than the original Cob Cannon.

His Evolution ability references his status of upgrade plant in Plants vs. Zombies, where he was only plantable on top of two adjacent Kernel-pults on the same lane. It specifically requiring a Team-Up plant may be so because Kernel-Pult in this game also has Team-Up, the trait Cob Cannon can Evolve on. And finally, its ability to destroy a zombie is a reference to how the Cob Cannon itself is often used as an instant kill.

His description is a reference to the quote, "One team, one dream," which comes from the book One Team One Dream: The Story of the Greatest Team in History, a fact-based account of the 1997 Virginia baseball champions, the William Byrd Terriers. The full quote in the book is, "This group of individuals is going to come together as one team, with one dream. One team, one dream."

Strategies[]

With[]

Cob Cannon has average stats for his cost. However, both his abilities are very useful and make this plant worth it. Being in the same class and having the same sun cost, in both its additional abilities and raw stats, it is better than Smashing Pumpkin and rivals Three-Headed Chomper.

His normal ability allows you to weaken a group of zombies here and next door, or even destroy zombies with 1HeartPvZH, meaning he can be used to deal with the aquatic lane, especially for Solar Flare and Chompzilla, since they lack ways to deal with said lane effectively. The stat reduction also means he can be used alongside cards such as Whack-a-Zombie, Chomper, and Toadstool.

His Evolution ability allows you to expand your field control by destroying any zombie and leaving a 6StrengthPvZH/6HeartPvZH plant on the field. To activate his Evolution ability, you need a Team-Up plant, which should not be much of an issue as the Solar class has several Team-Up cards such as Sunflower, Solar Winds (which make Sunflowers), and Twin Sunflower, not to mention those from other classes such as Puff-Shroom, Torchwood, and Wall-Nut exclusive to certain heroes. Certain Team-Up plants can survive until you get to play Cob Cannon, but some others can allow you to Evolve Cob Cannon on turn 6 immediately as they are free.

If you are playing as Rose or Wall-Knight, you can take this one step further and actually get Cob Cannon on the aquatic lane by playing him on a Team-Up plant with Amphibious such as Laser Cattail, Admiral Navy Bean, and Water Chestnut, or give a Team-Up plant said trait via Lily Pad (although playing him on the aquatic lane is a bit of a waste of his normal ability under normal circumstances.)

His ability is also especially useful against zombies with UntrickableAltBigUntrickable, especially ones that may boast massive stats like Jurassic Fossilhead, as most instant-kill cards are tricks.

If you are playing as Rose, you can replay him with Rescue Radish and another team-up plant to reset his stats and reactivate his abilities. However, unless you want to reuse his stat reduction ability or need to eliminate another Untrickable target, it would be better to use Squash since it costs less and can be played immediately.

Against[]

His two abilities can't be completely prevented, but you can spread out your zombies across the field to reduce his normal ability's effectiveness and make all zombies equally threatening to put your opponent in a dilemma. You can also play Gravestone zombies to negate both of his abilities, but this strategy is risky to pull off against Wall-Knight as he has specialized anti-gravestone cards.

As for Cob Cannon himself, any powerhouse, instant-kill trick or Deadly zombies will do. However, remember that his normal ability weakens your zombies' strength, so Crazy heroes may suffer a bit more. Do not Bounce him if doing so won't win the game for you, as he can be replayed, allowing him to weaken your zombies once more and destroy another, if he gets evolved again.

Trivia[]

  • Prior to update 1.24.6, Cob Cannon's targeting message was bugged. Instead of displaying a proper short description, it instead displayed "!#Cob Cannon_Targeting#!".
  • Prior to update 1.24.6, he and Gatling Pea did not have the legendary shine effect.
  • He is the only Evolution card that requires a fighter with a specified trait in order to activate his Evolution ability. Other Evolution cards require either any fighter in general, or a fighter within a specified tribe.
  • There is currently a glitch which happens when Reincarnation transforms from Cob Cannon into any other plant. When it happens, Cob Cannon proceeds to launch butter at the newly transformed card, as if Reincarnation was an entity of her own.
