Template:Heropic

Frankentuar is an event zombie card in Plants vs. Zombies Heroes, and a member of the PvZH Crazy IconCrazy class. It costs 5BrainPvZH to play, and has 5StrengthPvZH/5HeartPvZH. It does not have any traits, and its ability gives it +1StrengthPvZH/+1HeartPvZH every time another zombie is destroyed.

It was introduced in update 1.18.13, along with Transfiguration, Go-Nuts, Witch Hazel, Haunted Pumpking, Ketchup Mechanic, Fraidy Cat, Sneezing Zombie, Exploding Fruitcake, and Unexpected Gifts.

Origins

It is based on Gargantuar's Lawn of Doom costume in Plants vs. Zombies 2.

Its name is a portmanteau of "Frankenstein," a novel written by Mary Shelley, referring to its appearance, and "Gargantuar," the type of zombie it is.

Its description is a reference to a famous quote by Victor Frankenstein, a young scientist who created Frankenstein (or Frankenstein's monster). But since Frankentuar is a zombie, it is undead.

Statistics

  • Class: Crazy
  • Tribes: Monster Gargantuar Zombie
  • Traits: None
  • Ability: This gets +1StrengthPvZH/+1HeartPvZH when a Zombie is destroyed.
  • Set: Event

Card description

IT'S ALIVE! IT'S ALI-I-I-IVE! Ok, strictly speaking, it's not alive.

Strategies

With

This zombie can be quite similar to Imp-Throwing Gargantuar as both of them have the same cost and same stats. However, its ability only activates if another zombie is destroyed by a plant just like Valkyrie, which gets a small boost of +1StrengthPvZH/+1HeartPvZH. But unlike Valkyrie, it must be on the field instead of your hand. Tricks like Final Mission to another zombie can help activate its ability. Imp-Throwing Gargantuar can generally pair well with this zombie as Imp-Throwing Gargantuar can create Swabbies in random lanes. Since Swabbies have low stats, they can be destroyed very easily and in turn, boost Frankentuar's stats. You can also play dancing zombies as they usually have low health. If the plant hero refuses to destroy your weak zombies, using Fireworks Zombie or Barrel of Deadbeards can help do this if Frankentuar has more than 1 health.

To utilize this zombie effectively, it is best to play on the 4th lane as zombies destroyed from the left of him will become stronger which can do additional damage and get more health in the same combat.

Each hero can use this zombie greatly:

  • Z-Mech can play this zombie as early as turn 3 when Gargologist is played on board. This can be useful as the Plant Hero may focus on destroying Gargologist which Frankentuar will get boosted.
  • Electric Boogaloo can use Smashing Gargantuar to give it PvZH Frenzy IconFrenzy which can destroy weak plants in front of it. He can also damage plants in front of him to prevent him from being destroyed.
  • Professor Brainstorm can play this with Wizard Gargantuar to give it PvZH Truestrike IconBullseye. He also have Rocket Science to destroy a high strength plant that can destroy this zombie.
  • Impfinity has swarms of weak Imps that can boost Frankentuar when destroyed.

Be very careful as plant tricks from PvZH Solar IconSolar or PvZH Guardian IconGuardian classes can destroy this zombie, especially Template:PvZHLink, Shamrocket, Lawnmower (if on the ground lane) or Template:PvZHLink. A strategy to avoid this is to play bigger threats, as they will either have to leave that alone, or give this a stat boost. Same goes for the PvZH Smarty IconSmarty class as it can bounce that zombie off of the field, or PvZH Frozen IconFreeze it.

Against

Statwise, this zombie is like an Imp-Throwing Gargantuar that does not create Swabbies. Instead, it gets buffed when another zombie gets destroyed. This can be dangerous when combined with swarms of zombies or Imp-Throwing Gargantuar. Try to avoid destroying any weak zombies if you cannot manage to destroy it as it can grow stronger. Other than that, you can easily destroy it using Shamrocket, Doom-Shroom, Squash, or any plant that has enough strength to destroy it.

Trivia

  • He is noticeably smaller than other zombies, especially other Gargantuars.
    • This is likely a visual bug.
