Its name and appearance are both references to the Zombot in the original Plants vs. Zombies, where one of Dr. Zomboss' attacks is by launching a fireball that rolls down the lane. Its description is a reference to the fact that in both Plants vs. Zombies and Plants vs. Zombies 2, Dr. Zomboss will always use a Zombot to combat the player in each world's final level (as well as in other modes and quests).

Strategies[]
With[]
Normally, Zombot's Wrath is a more expensive and less cost-effective version of Bungee Plumber, or as a more expensive substitute for Electrobolt. Their uses are relatively similar; you can use it to destroy bothersome plants like Sunflower, or potentially threatening plants like Pea Pod and Doubled Mint, or use it to deliver the finishing blow or bait out your opponent's Super-Block Meter block. Its effectiveness hinges on how many zombies are on the field, so its usefulness can vary wildly depending on the situation.
If you are playing as Z-Mech, it is wise to combine Zombot's Wrath with Gargologist as it's a Gargantuar trick and its cost will reduce to 0. This effectively makes Zombot's Wrath a direct upgrade to Bungee Plumber as long as a Gargologist stays on the field and enough zombies are on the field to increase Zombot's Wrath's damage. Due to it also being a science card, Professor Brainstorm can use this to transform Interdimensional Zombie earlier on, or use Wizard Gargantuar to give it Bullseye. This can also occur if Conjured by Cosmic Scientist, but should not be relied on.
While Zombot's Wrath can theoretically deal up to 5 damage, very high for a 2-cost card, this is hindered by the sheer difficulty of playing and maintaining zombies on every lane (this is not helped by the fact that the Crazy class lacks Amphibious zombies). Only Electric Boogaloo and Impfinity have reliable access to Amphibious zombies, while Professor Brainstorm and Z-Mech have to rely on Imp-Throwing Gargantuar and Gargantuars' Feast (and Eureka in case of the former). Therefore, it should be assumed that this maximum damage threshold will rarely come into effect.
Impfinity can utilise this card most effectively; not only does his signature superpower, Triple Threat, allow for potential zombies filling the aquatic lane early on, but he also has an abundant supply of cheap Sneaky zombies that could allow him to swarm the field quickly and maximise this card's damage. Additionally, Swabbie is free and has Amphibious, so it can allow you to play this as a free addition to Zombot's Wrath's damage, provided it is not removed by your opponent.
Against[]
Like Bungee Plumber, this card will be used to either remove a plant, weaken a tough plant, or potentially land the finishing blow on you. Hence, any strategy that is against Bungee Plumber would also apply to Zombot's Wrath. Keep in mind the number of zombies on the board at the moment determines the power of this card, and be especially wary against swarm decks.
