Water Chestnut is a premium uncommon plant card in Plants vs. Zombies Heroes and a member of the PvZH Guardian IconGuardian class. He costs 2SunPvZH to play and has 8HeartPvZH.

He has the Amphibious and Team-Up traits and does not have any abilities.

In the boss battle for the mission Disco Inferno!, the plant hero starts with a Water Chestnut on the third lane.

Origin[]

Chestnuts

He is based on the water chestnut, an edible corm produced by the grass-like sedge of the family Cyperaceae.

However, his design seems to be based more on a sweet chestnut (Castanea sativa), an edible nut produced from trees in the beech family Fagaceae.

His amphibious trait is based on his name, while his description refers to his high health.

Strategies[]

With[]

Water Chestnut functions as a Wall-Nut with more health and the Amphibious trait, but also with a slightly higher sun cost, so use this plant in the same manner as you do with Wall-Nut. This can also be a replacement for Wall-Nut.

Its main reason to use it compared to a regular Wall-Nut is the Amphibious trait; using this, you can protect your plants from powerful Amphibious zombies up to Deep Sea Gargantuar. Playing some decently powerful Amphibious plants behind it such as Cattail can make for a good strategy.

In addition, since it is a nut, it benefits from Smackadamia's boost of +2HeartPvZH, and since it has no strength, it benefits from Spineapple's boost of +2StrengthPvZH too. In addition, Mirror-Nut can benefit from it, since it does classify as a nut. If played with Starch-Lord on the field, he will also gain a small boost.

As Grass Knuckles, you can boost it with Fertilize to prevent Rolling Stone, Rocket Science, and Weed Spray from destroying it. However, there is still Knockout to worry about.

With its high health, Pecanolith can combo with this really well, turning it into a 8StrengthPvZH/8HeartPvZH plant, possibly on a water lane, for just 2 sun. However, it is still vulnerable to instant-kill cards due to having 0 technical strength, and as with all Pecanolith decks, it will lose strength as it takes damage, so it is best to keep everything topped up.

Against[]

Destroy this plant in the same manner as you do with a Wall-Nut, as it is only a slightly stronger Wall-Nut. Since your opponent will usually play it in the aquatic lane, your cards must be able to reach them. Rolling Stone and Weed Spray are able to destroy it easily because of its lack of strength.

If those aren't an option, resort to Amphibious zombies (preferably Deadly ones) or damaging tricks. However, if this is all by itself, it's not really a threat and you don't have to do anything to it. If there's a strong plant behind it, try to destroy that plant instead.

The only reason you'd want to destroy the Water Chestnut itself is if it gets a strength buff, either by Three-Nut or Spineapple, in which it is practical to destroy it due to its high health.
