Patch Notes

Patch Notes 1.2.11

2,147,483,647 feet

This is a long section. Click show or hide at the right of this template to display or hide the text.

• Each Hero now automatically comes with 4 specific Superpowers locked to that Hero, instead of players collecting individual Superpowers.
• The Super-Block Meter has been streamlined. Now when a Hero is hurt, that Hero’s Super-Block Meter randomly fills 1, 2, or 3 sections. When all 10 sections of the Meter are full, the Hero Super-Blocks just like before. Any time the Hero is hurt, there’s also a 5% chance the Meter will “Insta-Block,” charging all 10 sections at once.
• “Peashooter” and “Zombie” are no longer generic 1/1 cards that can be played by any Hero. Instead, these have been replaced with different 1/1 cards with no abilities in each Class (like Mega-Grow or Kabloom). There is one for each of the ten major “tribes” in the game (like Pea or Mushroom). All players will receive 4 of each of these cards automatically. These cards don’t appear in packs. They are:
  • Small-Nut – Guardian: Nut
  • Button Mushroom – Kabloom: Mushroom
  • Peashooter – Mega-Grow: Pea
  • Weenie Beanie – Smarty: Bean
  • Bellflower – Solar: Flower
  • Skunk Punk – Beastly: Pet
  • Cardboard Robot Zombie – Brainy: Science
  • Backup Dancer – Crazy: Dancing
  • Baseball Zombie – Hearty: Sports
  • Imp – Sneaky: Imp (“Imp” is now 1-cost 1/1, down from 2/2. There is a new card “Hot Dog Imp,” described below, filling a similar role as the old “Imp”.)
• Several cards have moved from the Basic Set to the Premium Set and vice versa.
• Several cards have adjusted rarities.

Kabloom

• More Spore, the Superpower, now says "Make two 1/1 Button Mushrooms in random lanes." (Was “Make two 1/1 Puff-Shrooms with Team-Up in random lanes.”)
• Sergeant Strongberry is now cooler: 4, 4/3 “When another Berry does damage, do 2 extra damage.” This now powers up special ability damage from Berry cards like Berry Blast, Bluesberry, Cherry Bomb, Grapes of Wrath, and Sour Grapes. (Was 4, 2/3 “Berries have double Strength.”)

Brainy

• Shieldcrusher Viking, after a philosophical meditation on whether a Viking counts as a Pirate, is now a “Mustache Pirate Zombie” instead of a “History Mustache Zombie.” This means it now works with Zombie Pirate abilities like Swashbuckler and Zombot Plank Walker.

• Headstone Carver is now cheaper and smaller: 1, 2/1, still says "When a Gravestone Zombie is revealed, that Zombie gets +1/+1." (Down from 2, 2/3)

• Toadstool Takedown, Night Cap’s signature Superpower, is now named “Mush-Boom”.

Ranked Matches

Today I’m very excited to introduce a new feature to PvZ Heroes – Ranked Multiplayer! Ranked Multiplayer lets you take the competition to the next level with higher stakes and bigger rewards.

You’ll be able to use your skills against players from around the world while you rank up, and discover new strategies.

Redesigned Deck Builder

PvZ Heroes players that have been playing since our limited launch in March will also notice a few key changes, including a completely revamped deck builder designed to make it faster and easier for you to build custom teams.

Update 1.22.12 Patch Notes

This is a long section. Click show or hide at the right of this template to display or hide the text.

Colossal Fossils brings 50 powerful, new Evolution-themed cards in a new pack! Huge-Gigantacus has smashed Meteor Z deep into Earth's core, closely pursued by Beta-Carrotina and her crew. There they discover a hidden jungle paradise: 'Hollow Earth!' In this land of giant roaring dinosaurs, ancient Plants and Zombies have evolved in a savage new direction. Go to the store to buy Colossal Fossils packs now!

New Ability: Evolution

In Colossal Fossils, you'll find 15 different 'Evolution' cards, like Gloom-Shroom and Jurassic Fossilhead. You can play one in an empty lane as normal, or play it on top of a card already in play, 'evolving' it into a fierce new form with a special Evolution effect!

New Ability: Dino-Roar

You'll also find Legendary Dinosaur Plants like Tricarrotops and Dinosaur-riding Zombies like Tankylosaurus. Each unleashes a mighty 'Dino-Roar' ability whenever you draw a card, including when you Conjure a card or put a Super-Block in your hand. Use special abilities to draw extra cards and roar your way to the top!

New Ability: Untrickable

Untrickable Plants and Zombies can't be affected by your opponents' Tricks at all. But you can still power them up with your own Tricks!

Card Balance Updates

We made some new card updates to help keep the different Classes, Heroes, and strategies well-balanced, relying on game result data:

• Shieldcrusher Viking is now stronger: 5 6/5. (was 5/5)
• Zombot Drone Engineer is now healthier: 2 1/4. (was 1/3)
• Cryo-Brain is now Gourmet Science and works with Interdimensional Zombie.
• Toxic Waste Imp now makes Imp Tricks like Cakesplosion Deadly (plus Z-Mech's superpower Missile Madness will destroy every Plant on the board if you are able to Conjure it together with Toxic Waste Imp somehow).
• Haunting Ghost made by Haunting Zombie is more powerful and now an ownable card: a 2 2/1 that says 'Amphibious. When played: A Plant gets -1/-1.'
• Sugary Treat is now stronger: 2 +3/+1. (was 2 +2)
• Healthy Treat is now stronger: 1 +1/+3. (was 2 +2)
• Zom-Bats from Immorticia's superpower are now Amphibious. After all, they can fly!
• Clique Peas now grow in Sun cost as they grow in size. They say: 'Shuffle two Clique Peas into your deck. For the rest of the game, all Clique Peas get +1/+1 and cost +1.'
  • Starts with multiple Clique Peas were too fast and overpowering. Drawing multiple Clique Peas is still very powerful, just slightly slower. Clique Peas' Recycle value is raised to 2000 to match its Crafting cost for about a month.
• Venus Flytraplanet now needs Plants to survive combat there in order to cause healing. Venus Flytraplanet's Recycle value is raised to 50 to match its Crafting cost for about a month.
  • It has been too frustrating and difficult for Zombies to interact with the constant stream of healing from Venus Flytraplanet. Now it is more interactive, since a powerful Zombie there can take down the Plant to prevent the healing.
• Magnifying Grass now costs less Sun: 3 (was 4).

2018

• January 30 (1.24.6):
  • The Triassic Triumph update was released, adding 50 more cards. More tokens (Grizzly Pear, Leftovers) are changed to Triassic - Uncommon. Some cards also underwent balance changes.

Update 1.24.6 Patch Notes

2,147,483,647 feet

This is a long section. Click show or hide at the right of this template to display or hide the text.

All-New 50-Card Set

Triassic Triumph brings 50 triumphant new cards in a new pack! After Hollow Earth was discovered in Colossal Fossils, Neptuna did not leave paradise lost. Instead, she has flooded Hollow Earth with new oceans, attacking with a vast army of Zombie explorers, pirates, and barbers. Gigantic new Zombie and Plant dinosaurs crash together at the height of the conflict, pitting robotics against radishes. Plants and Zombies evolve into new forms to meet the threat, from a very grumpy pile of spinach to Zombies with dogs, whales, goats, and monkeys. Driving back the Plant Heroes, Neptuna's 'Triassic Invasion' seeks to find and align all the long-whispered Mustache Monuments...before time runs out! Go to the store to buy Triassic Triumph packs now!

New Ability: Fusion

In Triassic Triumph, you'll find 10 different 'Fusion' Plants and Zombies, like Pumpkin Shell and Killer Whale. You can play one in an empty lane and it will fight as normal. You can then play another Plant or Zombie on top of the Fusion card, 'fusing' them together to unleash special abilities! Just like you can play Evolution Plants on top of something else, you can play something else on top of a Fusion Plant. It's like Evolution flipped upside-down!

Dino-Roar, Evolution, and Untrickable

Triassic Triumph is the sequel to Colossal Fossils. So here you'll find 15 new cards bringing back Colossal Fossils' keyword abilities in new ways. There are 6 new Dinosaurs with Dino-Roar abilities, 7 new Evolution cards, and 2 new Untrickable cards.

Card Balance Updates

We believe the game is most fun when a large variety of creative strategies have great chances to win. We love having lots of powerful cards that do different things well. That said, when some cards are too powerful, those strategies can show up too often, be too hard to beat, and end up too annoying. Accordingly, based on card win rate data and player feedback, we've made some card balance updates to help keep the Classes, Heroes, and strategies varied and well-balanced. We've taken a bolder hand than usual this time, moving several cards' power levels up and down to get the Classes to the right place. Any cards that got weaker have their Recycle values temporarily increased to match their Crafting costs, so you can recycle a changed card for something else of the same rarity if you wish.

Beastly:

• (sic) Gargantuar-Throwing Imp is now stronger: it says 'When hurt: Make a random Gargantuar that costs 5 in a random lane.' instead of always making Smashing Gargantuars.
• Yeti Lunchbox, also made by Zombie Yeti, is now a Gourmet Pet Trick. (This means it triggers Zookeeper and Cat Lady.)
• Primordial Cheese Shover is now a Gourmet History Zombie. (Not just Gourmet)
• Goat, also made by Rose's Goatify Superpower, is now an ownable 0-cost 1/1 Pet and gained the ability 'This gets +1/+1 when any kind of Goat is hurt.'

Brainy:

• Zom-Blob no longer has Bullseye.
• Medulla Nebula, now gives 2 brains when you play Zombies there instead of 3.
• Leprechaun Imp now shuffles 1 Pot of Gold into your deck instead of 2.
• Gargantuar Mime is now stronger: 5-cost 5/7. (was 5/5)
• Neutron Imp is now overall stronger: 2-cost 2/3. (was 4-cost 4/4)
• Shieldcrusher Viking is now stronger: 5-cost 7/5. (was 6/5)
• Regifting Zombie is now a Party Pirate. (was just Party)

Crazy:

• Quickdraw Con Man is now smaller: 1-cost 1/3. (was 1/4)
• Abracadaver is now healthier: 3-cost 3/2. (was 3/1)

Hearty:

• Stompadon now costs more brains: 4-cost 2/4. (was 3-cost)
• Jurassic Fossilhead now gets +2/+2 when it evolves. (was +3/+3)
• Escape through Time now costs 2 brains instead of 1.
• Zombie King now does not re-knight existing Knights of the Living Dead.
• Leftovers, also made by Turkey Rider, is now a Gourmet Pet Trick. (This means it triggers Zookeeper and Cat Lady.)

Sneaky:

• Zombot Aerostatic Gondola We fixed a bug where its text had accidentally said 'When this does damage...' Now its text correctly says 'When this hurts the Plant Hero...', matching its game effect. (Sorry about that text bug!) Its Recycle value has been temporarily raised to match its Crafting cost.
• Cursed Gargolith is now stronger: 6-cost 7/6. (was 7/5)
• Tomb Raiser Zombie is now healthier: 4-cost 2/4. (was 2/3)

Guardian:

Kabloom:

Mega-Grow:

• Lily of the Valley has less Health: 2-cost 1/2. (was 1/3)
• Half-Banana, also made by Banana Split, is now an ownable 1-cost 2/2 with the ability 'When destroyed: All Bananas in your hand get +1 Strength.'
• Gatling Pea is now overall stronger: 5-cost 5/4. (was 4/5)

Smarty:

• Jelly Bean now has less Health: 4-cost 4/3. (was 4/4)
• Sow Magic Beans no longer draws a card when you play it.
• Snapdragon is healthier: 4-cost 3/3. (was 3/2)

Solar:

• Sunflower Seed now has less Health: 3-cost 3/1. (was 3/2)
• Twin Sunflower is now healthier: 2-cost 0/2. (was 0/1)

Other Bug Fixes:

• Untrickable now consistently makes a card unaffected by all your opponent's tricks. For example, Untrickable cards are now correctly undamaged by your opponent's Cherry Bomb, Lava Guava's initial damage, Precision Blast, Power Pummel, and Wall-Nut Bowling.
• Witch's Familiar, Immorticia's signature superpower, can now correctly be played on the Water as well as the land.
• It's now physically easier to play Evolution Plants on Team-Up Plants without the Plant moving out of the way.
• We also fixed a lot of smaller bugs. Thanks for your patience with those bugs!

Visual Updates:

• An Evolution card played on another card now shows a special Evolution glow.
• Several keyword ability icons on cards (like 'Armored') now show a special animation on those icons when that card is played.
• Thanks for all your support and enjoy TRIASSIC TRIUMPH!

May 18 (1.26.3)

Welcome to the spring update! Hi Heroes! We're excited to see all the cool new combos players are finding with the TRIASSIC TRIUMPH set. On with the update!

Card Balance Changes We love having a variety of powerful cards and dynamic strategies. When some win rates get too high or low, we sometimes make balance changes to help different strategies stay strong.

In recent seasons, we've seen Valkyrie combo decks and Disco-Naut fast attack decks creep up in win rates. Accordingly, we're making some cards a little weaker there. We considered adjusting Valkyrie herself, but for now only adjusting some surrounding support cards. Changing these support cards now can also head off some other potentially problematic interactions. Any cards that got weaker have their Recycle values temporarily increased to match their crafting costs, so you can recycle a weakened card for something else off the same rarity if you wish. We're also making several other cards stronger, where there is room to grow those strategies.

BEASTLY

• Mustache Monument now uses more brains: 3-cost 1/5. (was 2-cost)

'Random Battle' Updates

We've greatly expanded the variety of decks you can fight with the 'Random Battle' button. ( The one inside the 'Plants Missions/Zombie Missions' screens). Now you might fight any of the 5 strategy decks of any hero: 1-star, 2-star, 3-star, Space-themed, or Dinosaur-themed. you might also fight a variety of decks that aren't Strategy Decks at all. There are more than 150 decks to conquer!

New 'Surprise Battles'

• When you tap the 'Random Battle' button, you now have about a 1 in 8 chance to play a special 'Surprise Battles' with a crazy setup!

Bug Fixes

• We've added labels like 'Conjured by Primal Wall-Nut' to anything created by many cards with Conjure abilities that didn't already have those labels.
• We've also fixed a variety of other bugs.

Calling all Heroes! We've done an exciting wave of card balance updates. Our goal is to have a wide variety of powerful cards and fun strategies in every Class. To achieve this, we study win rates and use rates for cards, Heroes, and Classes at different levels of play. We also monitor player feedback. This time, we first weakened a few strategies that have gotten too strong. Then we made lots of other cards stronger that could help bring out some cool, new deck types. Try them out and have fun exploring!

Any cards that got weaker have had their Recycle values temporarily increased to match their crafting costs, so you can recycle a weakened card for something else of the same rarity if you wish.

BEASTLY

• Deep Sea Gargantuar is now healthier: 6-cost 7/8 (was 7/7)
• Overstuffed Zombie is now overall better: 4-cost 4/4 (was 3/5)

BRAINY

• Mad Chemist is now healthier: 4-cost 3/5 (was 3/4)
• Trick or Treater is now better: Gained the Gravestone ability.
• Duckstache is now stronger: 3-cost 3/2 (was 2/2)
• Neutron Imp is now overall better: 1-cost 2/2 (was 2-cost 2/3)
• Interdimensional Zombie is now overall better: 1-cost 2/2 (was 1/3)

Brainy gains some aggressive options with a new pair of 2-Strength Zombies for1 cost, especially since they are both Science cards. Although Interdimensional Zombie is less resilient, he now hits twice as hard before he transforms.

CRAZY

• Frankentuar is now healthier: 5-cost 5/7 (was 5/5)
• Gargantuar-Throwing Imp is now stronger: 5-cost 2/2 (was 1/2)
• Hippity Hop Gargantuar is now healthier: 5-cost 6/5 (was 6/4)
• Disco-Naut now says 'Zombies with 2 Strength or less have Bullseye.' (was 3 Strength)
• Valkyrie now uses more Brains: 4-cost 0/6 (was 3-cost)

Disco-Naut had been dancing up a storm of high win rates. In particular, Disco-Naut was giving Flamenco Zombie and/or Binary Stars too much unstoppable damage. This change makes Disco-Naut a little more challenging to build around. Valkyrie has been one of the best one-turn-win combo cards in the game for a long time. It has also been undercosted for its stats when played as a normal attacker. Now it still sings impressive arias in both roles, just not quite as quickly.

HEARTY

• Chum Champion is now stronger: 5-cost 4/4 (was 3/4)
• Turquoise Skull Zombie is now healthier: 4-cost 2/6 (was 2/5)

SNEAKY

• Cryo-Yeti is now better: Gained the Gravestone ability and freezes a Plant when revealed.
• Unthawed Viking is now healthier: 4-cost 4/4 (was 4/3)
• Captain Flameface is now better: Gained the Gravestone ability.
• Tomb Raiser Zombie is now stronger: 4-cost 3/4 (was 2/4)
• Barrel of Barrels now uses 2 Brains (was 1), but it can now also conjure Rocket Science and Final Mission, which have become Science Barrel Tricks.

Barrel of Barrels has been uncorking a nasty Deadly effect, while costing just 1 and giving you a card back. This has too often barreled over high-Sun-cost Plants who rely on high Health to survive. Now Barrel of Barrels can conjure new Tricks that are more expensive than a barrel of monkeys, but it is less efficient overall.

GUARDIAN

• Marine Bean is now different and overall better: 3-cost 3/2 'Amphibious. When played: This gets +1/+1 for each other Amphibious Plant.'
• Mirror-Nut is now healthier: 4-cost 0/8 (was 0/7)

KABLOOM

• Transfiguration is now stronger: 4-cost 4/7 (was 3/7)
• Atomic Bombegranate is now stronger: 5-cost 5/2 (was 4/2)
• Strawberrian now has less Health: 3-cost 3/2 (was 3/3) and his ability now hits only next door lanes and does not hit his own lane.
• Seargant Strongberry now has less Health: 4-cost 4/3 (was 4/4)
• Shelf Mushroom now has less Health: 2-cost 2/2 (was 2/3)
• Fireweed now has less Health: 2-cost 3/2 (was 3/3)

Strawberrian has been berry powerful, especially since his ability defended his own lane, keeping itself alive. These changes reduce Berries' Health to balance their explosive offense. Fireweed's raw power and flexibility have sprouted too high a win rate, leading to this Health reduction. Lowering these Health values can also help certain Zombie decks that found it hard to survive fast Kabloom attacks.

MEGA-GROW

• Typical Beanstalk is now different and overall better: 3-cost 3/3 'When played next to a Leafy Plant: Conjure a Leafy card.'

SMARTY

• Bog of Enlightenment now uses less Sun: 2-cost (was 3-cost)
• Planet of the Grapes now uses more Sun: 3-cost (was 2-cost)

Planet of the Grapes has a lot of fun applications, but it could be frustratingly fast to draw lots of cards with Astro-Shroom and Admiral Navy Bean. This change brings those combos a bit back to planet Earth.

SOLAR

• Laser Bean is now stronger and healthier: 6-cost 5/7 (was 4/6)
• Briar Rose now uses more Sun: 5-cost (was 4-cost)
• Solar Winds now uses more Sun: 3-cost (was 2-cost)
• Sunflower Seed is now overall weaker: 3-cost 2/2 (was 3/1)

Briar Rose has blossomed into one of the most feared Plants in the game, ever since her cost dropped from 6 to 4. After many seasons of dominance, it's time for the bloom to come off the rose, making her and the strongest Flower enablers a bit slower. These enablers have also been very powerful in decks that ramp up their Sun to make high-Sun-cost plays early on. These cards are still quite strong - just slightly slower. This will also help some Zombie strategies that had an especially thorny time with this Rose.
