Druid Rose

The zombies ate your brains!

This subject currently has no proper strategy associated with it. If you have figured out a good strategy, please add it or the zombies will eat your brains!

Druid Rose is the Super Rare toxic variant of Rose in Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2. She uses the Toxic Volley as her primary weapon. It can only fire up to 30 shots before reloading. She was first revealed in gameplay of Solo Ops, but was later showcased in a variant trailer on Facebook and Twitter on New Year's Eve, 2015, making her the last variant to be revealed in 2015.

Unlike other Toxic variants, Druid Rose does not have a Toxic aura. This is made up for by her fast rate of fire and huge clip size.

Abilities

Time Snare

Places a Time Snare on the ground which creates a large red cloud, and slows down all Zombies who are caught in it, leaving them slow and easy to take out for a few seconds.

Arcane Enigma

Turns Rose into pure energy, making her immune to damage and allows her to deal a small amount of damage to nearby zombies.

Goatify

Transforms any Zombies hit by it into Stinky Goats, which leaves them practically defenseless, possessing nothing but a unique ramming attack. If these Goatified zombies are hurt enough or a certain amount of time passes, they turn back to their original form. It is worth noting that the Rose can transform multiple zombies per spell if it hits more than one.

Arcane Lotus

An alternate ability to Arcane Enigma, Arcane Lotus turns Rose into pure, healing energy, which makes her immune to damage and heals nearby Plants for 4 HP rapidly and continuously. It can only be bought from Rux's Bazaar.

Psychedelic Goat

An alternate ability to Goatify, Psychedelic Goat turns Zombies into purple goats with headbands. Although Zombies hit by this do not stay a goat for as long, it is much harder for the Goatified Zombies to control their goat.

Primary weapon

The primary weapon of the Druid Rose is the Toxic Volley. Like the Magic Thistles of the default Rose, it is an automatic weapon that fires projectiles that travel slowly and home in on targets. Each shot deals 5 damage, as well as poisoning the zombie, dealing 2 damage once every second for five seconds, dealing up to 5 extra damage. The shots also have minor splash damage, which is effective for poisoning groups of zombies. The Toxic Volley has the highest rate of fire out of all Rose primary weapons, firing at roughly 8 shots per second. This Rose is actually quite different to others because of her slow projectile movement. It sacrifices damage in exchange of the poisoning effect, which is really useful when attacking a large group of zombies.
