Cozmic Brainz is a Super Rare variant of Super Brainz in Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2. He was previewed in the Multiplayer Beta trailer, whilst revealed in a screenshot on Gary Clay's Twitter page.[1]

Descriptions[]

Stickerbook description[]

"More than just a strange Zombie in a spandex body suit, with the help of his galactic bracelets, Cozmic Brainz wields powers unknown."

In-game description[]

Hold down fire to charge his fists. Foes vanquished by a level 3 charge are banished and left unrevivable!

AI health[]

  • Easy: 120
  • Normal: 160
  • Hard: 200
  • CRAAAAZY: 240

Weapons[]

His "special" is that he can charge up punches. An uncharged punch deals 20 damage (22 with Damage Upgrade), and a half-charged punch will deal 45 damage (49.5 with Damage Upgrade). If he charges up a punch to level 3, it deals 70 damage (77 with Damage Upgrade), and, if the enemy is defeated by the punch, cause a wormhole to momentarily appear behind the defeated enemy which the enemy then flies into before disappearing, making them unrevivable.

His ranged attack is not a laser beam like other Super Brainz variants. It is actually a multi-projectile attack that deals 1.1 to 9.6 damage per shot (1.2 to 10.5 with Damage Upgrade), depending on the range.

Strategies[]

With[]

Cozmic Brainz is extremely useful as he can make plants unrevivable with his attacks, delaying their return to the front line. He is also useful for stopping Plant teleporters being built as he can make the Roses that are building it unrevivable. This character's ability makes him great for game modes like Team Vanquish. Only attack with fully charged punches if you time it right, as it takes a while for them to charge (meaning that enemies can shoot you with little punishment).

To fully utilize your ability to "erase" plants from the map, try to inflict at least some damage to a plant before you try to vanquish them with a fully charged punch. If you get the flank on the enemy, let your first attack be a fully charged punch, then finish them off with normal punches (note that they can still be revived though).

It is also possible to use some of his abilities to perform this combo: using Cozmic Fists level III to attack the victim in front of him, a Heroic Kick to launch them, and finally, if possible, unleash the Super Ultra Ball at them as long as you aim perfectly.

Thanks to his buffs in the 2nd July 2018 patch, his 2nd level charge punch only has a charge time of 0.4 seconds. This makes his utilizing his 2nd charge his strongest form of damage, dealing 49.5 at a fairly high rate of fire. He can further utilize this by hitting a plant with a 3rd charge punch, and then hitting them with a 2nd charge punch for an extremely quick kill (assuming they have 125 or less health).

Against[]

Cozmic Brainz is currently considered to be one of more dangerous SB, due to his fists and his somewhat powerful beam up close. You should not drop your guard if you're on low health while near him, as he may have a punch charged up and send you straight to the death-cam while leaving unable to be revived.

This trait of his level III Punch is very dangerous in Team Vanquish if you are badly injured, as his level III Punch, although uncommon to be pulled off, will give the zombies a guaranteed point. When fighting him, try to keep your distance as he is less effective when he is not near you. He is a big target and (for most players) should be easy to hit. For how to counter him up close, Chompers can very easily vanquish him as they can hide in Borrow to avoid his deadly Fully Charged Punch.

Trivia[]

  • He is the very first zombie overall to have an attack that can be charged and is currently the only zombie that can render a player unrevivable by himself.
  • He was the only Super Brainz variant to be unlockable in the beta.
  • His chest decoration appears to be a constellation.
  • His sticker card appears to show him doing Usain Bolt's Lightning Bolt pose.
    • This applies to the other Super Brainz variants.
  • He, Chomper and its variants are the only characters capable of rendering a player unrevivable.
    • Out of these characters, Cozmic Brainz is the only zombie to do this and is the only character that requires a charge-up before he can do that.
  • According to a tip, he sends plants into a black hole.
  • He is able to send Potted Plants through the wormhole if they are vanquished by his charged up punch.
  • According to his stickerbook description, Cozmic Brainz gets his powers from two golden bracelets he wears on his wrists.
  • Cozmic Brainz and Breakfast Brainz are the only Super Brainz variants to shoot individual projectiles instead of a continuous laser beam. Also, they're the only two who can move when summoning a Super Ultra Ball (This could be done whilst charging as Cozmic Brainz or whilst firing your Break-Fists as Breakfast Brainz).
  • If the player looks closely, then they can see he is wearing a green alien slipper on his left foot.
  • In one of the Super Duper Brainz missions, Cozmic Brainz says he builds his muscles from lifting actual planets.
  • In the multiplayer beta trailer, the narrator nicknames him "Purple Guy", which could reference the antagonist of the same name from the Five Nights at Freddy's franchise.
  • In promotional material, he is often called "Cosmic Brainz" with an "s" in "Cosmic", instead of with a "z" as it is spelled in-game.
  • In the Garden Warfare 2 trailer he is referred to as "Purple Dude" and was fighting "Goth Blossom" which is a Vampire Flower.
