- For the version in Plants vs. Zombies Heroes, see Super Brainz (PvZH).
Super Brainz is a new playable zombie class in Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2. He is the zombies' melee class. He can punch plants up close with his Heroic Fists, but can also change his weapon from melee to ranged by zooming in to aim, and can also shoot plants from afar with his Heroic Beam. Super Brainz is also capable of jumping very high without the use of abilities, as well as travel a fair distance with his Heroic Kick. Despite these facts, he is convinced that everything around him is a movie set.

Strategies
Tips & Tricks
- Try to use Heroic Beam more than Heroic Fist, as it will let you kill plants from a far distance.
- However, when fighting close-up, use the Heroic Fists.
- Turbo Twister is very useful when you use it against multiple plants or dealing with Super Bean.
- It is a very risky move to use Turbo Twister on a Chomper as you can still be burrowed and both spikeweed and goop will leave you vulnerable to being chomped. Only use Turbo Twister on a Chomper is you are certain that the player is low on health.
- Use Heroic Kick to close the gap between you and the plants to land free punches on them.
As
As Super Brainz your main objective is simple, get in and vanquish plants, with your fists.
Charging into battle, beware of Cacti, while short-work up close they are the most dangerous plants you can encounter from afar. Hide behind terrain to make them unable to shoot at you. Should you ever encounter Cacti or any plant at a distance, zoom and use your Heroic Beam to fight them back.
Your Heroic Kick ability will help you get places quickly, and start off punch combos. To move, simply jump into the air, angle your kick to the desired direction, and kick. You will fly in that direction with high speed. Do not move at all until you hit the ground, as by doing so you halt momentum from the kick.
As a combo move, either adjust your kick so you end the moment you damage the plant, or make a short hop, followed by a stomp kick close to the plant.. This shaves off enough HP of a plant to vanquish them in 1 to 2 combos.
You can follow a kick with a Turbo Twister to immobilized your target and slowly vanquish them. In this ability you also gain speed and defense boosts as well. Secondary you can use this ability as an escape and damage sheild when the battle gets too rough.
Finally, Super Ultra Ball. Super Ultra Ball is a weaker, inaccurate version of the ZPG. In turn it can be used very frequently and can be aimed in mid-air. Expect this weapon to splash plants rather than a direct hit. Should one land ready your beam to vanquish them.
Beware of Chompers and Rose. Both of them are capable of neutralizing most of Super Brainz's functions in many ways, as he remains powerless in melee or ranged encounters (respectively) to a skilled player. On sight try to ambush them before they to you.
