Coffee Zombie is a premiumsuper-rarezombiecard in Plants vs. Zombies Heroes and a member of the Hearty class. He costs 6 to play and has 4/3. He doesn't have any traits, and his ability gives all zombies on the field, including him, +1/+1 and the Frenzy trait when he is played.
His appearance seems to be inspired by a stereotypical hipster or at least shares some traits with one, both wear a plaid shirt, sport a beard, and don headphones and a pair of glasses.
His ability to give all zombies on the field the Frenzy trait is a reference to hyperactivity caused by a high intake of caffeine.

Strategies[]
With[]
By himself, he is a 5/4 zombie with Frenzy. While these stats are high, it doesn't bring enough tempo to justify the cost until you manage to have numerous zombies, as he gives them a small boost and the Frenzy trait. Just like Orchestra Conductor and Gadget Scientist, you need to have sufficient board control before he becomes effective. It is generally a good idea to play Coffee Zombie when there are strong zombies on the field such as Defensive End and Zombot Sharktronic Sub, so they can smash through plants and do massive damage to your opponent more easily.
Since he gives other zombies the Frenzy trait, The Smash can use him in tandem with Ancient Vimpire to give them constant stat boosts.
However, Coffee Zombie faces serious competition against Going Viral, a trick in the same class that does the same thing as Coffee Zombie, but is much cheaper, can't be completely depleted (as it shuffles 3 copies of itself into your deck when played) and draws a card. Unless you believe tricks are out of the equation, it would be better to instead use Going Viral.
Against[]
Prioritize on taking care of lanes with the strongest zombies. Instant-kills work best, but you can use your plants to make an exchange. (Note that they must be able to destroy the zombie in a single attack.) If there are too many threats to handle, play a mass removal card like Doom-Shroom, Tactical Cuke or Kernel Corn. Do not Bounce Coffee Zombie when there is a swarm of zombies on the field, as your opponent may choose to replay him.
