- For the version in Plants vs. Zombies Online, see Cavalry Zombie (PvZO).
Cavalry Zombie (骑兵僵尸; pinyin: qíbīng jiāngshī) is a zombie encountered in Dark Ages in the Chinese version of Plants vs. Zombies 2. It is a Knight Zombie riding a horse and carrying a lance. It jousts towards the player's plants and launches its rider off its back once it approaches a plant, similarly to the Zombie Bull. The Knight Zombie will also leave its lance upon doing so and it will behave like a tombstone, which instantly kills the first plant in where it is placed, similar to the Surfer Zombie's surfboard. It is an environment modifier.
Description
The Knight Zombie wears a knight helm for protection against threats. Rather than wearing a full knight gear, it wears a standard peasant outfit instead. It holds a lance on its left hand and once it is launched by its horse, it will stab a certain plant while the Knight Zombie performs a unique jumping animation. Its horse is black, has blue-green colored hairs and a tail on it, and has pink banners on his rear and front legs with red linings. The rear one holds a brain logo on while on its front legs, three black circle spots exist on him.
Almanac entry
TOUGHNESS: Hardened
SPEED: Speedy
Can launch his zombie rider past most of your defenses.
Cavalry Zombie is one of the few zombies who have pride and glory in his mind, so he does not allow others to know why did he became a zombie. And the reason is....
A famous zombie philosopher said: "Those who drown are the ones than can swim..."
Overview
Cavalry Zombie absorbs 65 normal damage shots and it has no degrades when not separated. The Zombie Horse absorbs 65 normal damage shots and the Knight Zombie absorbs 90 normal damage shots.
Strategies
This is a very dangerous zombie. When it appears, plant a Puff-shroom to slow it down. You can also use freezing plants, such as Iceberg Lettuce, or a Kernel-pult. As its Knight Zombie gets launched, there will be a lance placed on your lanes, which cannot be planted on unless it is destroyed and can absorb hits just like Surfer Zombie's surfboard. Be sure to use a Magnet-shroom near a Tall-nut, because knight helmets are harder to destroy than buckets. If combined with Jester Zombies, Zombie Kings, Wizard Zombies, and Dark Ages Gargantuars, they can be very problematic across your defenses, causing massive destruction on your lawn. Its Zombie Horse can start eating your plants, much like the Zombie Bull in Wild West. You should have Fume-shrooms, Tall-nuts, Coconut Cannons, Snapdragons, Laser Beans, and Starfruits at your disposal to prevent massive destruction from happening.
If you have a very solid defense however, place a Puff-shroom at the 8th lane to make it launch its knight early.
Do not let this Zombie throw its Knight Zombie inside your defenses or you will lose very quickly, because the Knight Zombie is extremely difficult to destroy without instant kills especially if it gets thrown to the hindmost lanes, though it can also be countered with Hurrikale.
