Gravitree is a galactic super-rare plant card in Plants vs. Zombies Heroes and a member of the PvZH Guardian IconGuardian class. It costs 6SunPvZH to play and has 7StrengthPvZH/7HeartPvZH.

It has the PvZH Armored IconArmored 1 and UntrickableAltBigUntrickable traits, and its ability moves any zombie played on a different lane to the lane it is on unless its lane is already occupied by another zombie.

Origins[]

Il 794xN.548943240 hrr3

It is based on a tree, specifically the apple tree (Malus domestica), a perennial plant that store carbon and absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and reproduces through the apples that it grows.

Its name is a portmanteau of "gravity," referring to its ability, and "tree," the real-life plant it is based on.

Its design of an apple tree and connection to gravity is a reference to the story of how Isaac Newton supposedly was inspired to create his law of universal gravitation after watching an apple fall from a tree.

Its description is a reference to the idiom "The apple doesn't fall far from the tree," representing its appearance and ability.

Strategies[]

With[]

Gravitree is a powerful plant good stats and abilities. It can take much punishment with its PvZH Armored IconArmored trait and hit hard in return. It is especially powerful due to its UntrickableAltBigUntrickable trait, pairing well with its very high stats making it a very tough task to kill. However, its ability is the core part of this plant. It will move any zombie played to its lane, assuming nothing is on its lane. This is generally a complete upside, so it won't usually harm you, although beware of zombies like Deep Sea Gargantuar that can benefit from moving lanes.

By turn 6, there will barely be any zombies that are able to survive, let alone destroy Gravitree, making it a very safe play on turn 6. It also forces your opponent to play an extra zombie in order to play a zombie on a desired lane, making them waste their brains as well. Gravitree is also a great counter to Hail-a-Copter, moving the Copter Commando made to Gravitree's lane unless there is already a zombie occupying the lane.

Gravitree can also be used to move zombies into unfavorable environments, such as Spikeweed Sector, Hot Lava, or Bog of Enlightenment. This will work similarly to a Black Hole for zombies, as they will get moved to the environment, then receive the effects.

You can also play Force Field on the lane Gravitree is on to protect it from damage, meaning not even PvZH Deadly IconDeadly zombies can destroy it, albeit it's still susceptible to some cards that can directly kill plants such as Primordial Cheese Shover or Zombot-1000.

Since gravitree hits hard, and is extremely tanky, you can play it in a Coffee Grounds to make it do 7 damage to the opponent nearly all the time. However, the opponent can cover the environment, removing the Double-Strike effect.

However, Gravitree has a couple of weaknesses. His ability can backfire, since it may effectively move your opponent's strong zombies into its lane and reduce its lifespan, but your outlook should usually be that if they wanted to kill your Gravitree, they would've played that strong zombie there anyways. Gravitree also does not have offensive abilities helping it to hit past the zombie blocking it, so your opponent can simply put something weak in its lane to deny its impact easily and strike from somewhere else, especially PvZH Deadly IconDeadly zombies which can destroy it effortlessly, unless they have 1 strength, for example, Cosmic Imp. Finally, you must note it will not move gravestones, and while it can move the zombie as it enters the field, your opponent could move it or the zombie, which allows them to bypass the ability anyway.

Against[]

With having an UntrickableAltBigUntrickable trait, tricks no longer work on this plant and it becomes a major threat. Try to negate Gravitree's ability by playing a cheap zombie first, then the zombie of your choice. That way, said zombie can be played without it being moved to Gravitree's lane.

Another way to counter Gravitree is by using moving cards like Sumo Wrestler or Smoke Bomb. This will effectively negate Gravitree's ability for the turn.

As a last resort, provided if it is able to take direct damage use PvZH Deadly IconDeadly zombies with 2 strength or more, or non-PvZH Deadly IconDeadly zombies with 8 strength or more to destroy it instantly. This ensures you can get rid of it without the plant causing too much trouble. Several zombies that can instantly kill the plant such as Primordial Cheese Shover, Mondo Bronto, and Zombot Sharktronic Sub is also a good idea to counter Gravitree.

A great way to counter Gravitree is with Deep Sea Gargantuar in a different lane, as it will immediately become an 8/8, winning the trade. However, the opponent can react to it unless you have a Teleportation Zombie.
