Bzzzzz...

The official name of this plant is Fanilla. However, a literal translation can be found in its infobox. The official name is to be used on all pages that refer to this plant.

Not to be confused with Vanilla.

Fanilla ( 吹风荚兰; pinyin: chuīfēng jiálán) is a plant from Steam Ages in the Chinese version of Plants vs. Zombies 2. He attacks zombies in his lane by blowing winds. After attacking several times, Fanilla will release a small tornado that can stun and damage zombies multiple times before disappearing. His tornado can be used to stop Gentleman Zombie while he is using his ability by blowing away his umbrella.

Origins

His name is a portmanteau of “fan” and “vanilla”.

Upgrades

Plant Food effect

Fanilla crates a tornado that moves diagonally to the front, changing directions when colliding with the top or bottom lanes. It can blow up to five zombies in its way. However it will be instantly destroyed when hitting a Gargantuar, mechanical zombie or boss's, instead dealing heavy damage.

Costumed

Now, he makes a cold tornado that chills Gargantuars and mechanical enemies.

Strategies

Main purpose of Fanilla is to counter flying Gentleman Zombie. However, he's outclassed by Blover due to faster recharge and lower sun cost. This plant needs upgrading for better firepower. Fanilla has a slow rate of fire and low damage but he can attack through multiple enemies and also he's cheap, so it's useful against Chicken Wrangler Zombie and Weasel Hoarder. Due to his slow recharge it is recommended to use Imitater. Small tornado that Fanilla summons every fifth attack should be used like Monkeyfruit's or Passionflower's attack which also stops zombies.
