“	Plant Headbutter Lettuce to bash and butter zombies.	”
—Penny

Headbutter Lettuce is a plant in Plants vs. Zombies 2 introduced in the 8.5.1 update. He deals heavy close ranged damage to zombies both in front and behind him in a similar manner to Bonk Choy. He also has a 10% chance to occasionally butter the zombies he attacks in a similar manner to Kernel-pult.

Headbutter Lettuce requires 250 seed packets to unlock. The player can earn them through store offers or playing Piñata Parties in 2020 Fall Food Fight event.

Origins

Headbutter Lettuce is based on the butter lettuce, a cultivar of lettuce known for its loose formation of leaves, sweet taste, and tender flavor.

His name is a portmanteau of the words "head" as he is a head of lettuce, "butter lettuce" from the plant he is based on, "butter," which references his ability to butter zombies, and "headbutt," referring to his method of attack.

Strategies

Headbutter Lettuce is a very powerful plant and a quick attacker that can easily take down many zombies. Not only does he do a bunch of damage at a fast pace, but he can also efficiently stall the bigger threats with his butter and high health. If used appropriately, he can deal with entire zombie waves on his own, as both his recharge and sun cost make him affordable in many scenarios.

However, his short range renders him very vulnerable on some occasions, so using support plants like Kernel-pult is useful as he cannot handle too many zombies at once. If the player wants to choose a plant for close-range attacks, Pokra is a better choice as she can attack multiple zombies at once as well as slows them down and has a DPS that is comparable to that of Headbutter Lettuce.

In certain worlds, you might want to refrain from using him in favor of other plants, these mainly being Lost City and Dark Ages, where you can encounter Parasol Zombie and Jester Zombie respectively, as both of these zombies are immune to his butter and can even use it against your strategy, so beware, as other plants may be better for getting rid of these zombies. However, this should not be much of a problem, as Headbutter Lettuce has such a high health that those said projectiles cannot pose a major threat to him.

When boosted by Enforce-mint, his damage is greatly improved, making it easy for him to deal with some very tough zombies such as Gargantuars. Given the medium duration of Enforce-mint, Headbutter Lettuce can attack many times before it disappears. But please note that the Power Mint will not increase his stun duration, pay more attention to his damage instead.

Headbutter Lettuce can be considered a straight upgrade of Bonk Choy, if one does not take his Plant Food power into account. Although he can stun some random zombies, he deals much less damage than that of a Bonk Choy. However, his high power output can compensate for this problem, so Headbutter Lettuce can replace Bonk Choy in many scenarios.
