Gravitree is a galactic super-rare plant card in Plants vs. Zombies Heroes and a member of the PvZH Guardian IconGuardian class. It costs 6SunPvZH to play and has 7StrengthPvZH/7HeartPvZH.

It has the PvZH Armored IconArmored 1 trait, and its ability moves any zombie played on a different lane to the lane it is on unless its lane is already occupied by another zombie.

Origins[]

Il 794xN

It is based on a tree, specifically the apple tree (Malus domestica), a perennial plant that store carbon and absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and reproduces through the apples that it grows.

Its name is a portmanteau of "gravity," referring to its ability, and "tree," the real-life plant it is based on.

Its design of an apple tree and connection to gravity is a reference to the story of how Isaac Newton supposedly was inspired to create his law of universal gravitation after watching an apple fall from a tree.

Its description is a reference to an idiom "The apple doesn't fall far from the tree,"  representing its appearance and ability.

Strategies[]

With[]

Gravitree is a powerful plant good stats and abilities. It can take much punishment with its PvZH Armored IconArmored trait and hit hard in return. However, its ability is the core part of this plant. It will move any zombie played to its lane, assuming nothing is on its lane.

By turn 6, there will barely be any zombies that are able to survive, let alone destroy Gravitree, making it a really safe play on turn 6. It also forces your opponent to play an extra zombie in order to play a zombie on a desired lane, making them waste their brains as well. Gravitree is also a great counter to Hail-a-Copter, moving the Copter Commando made to Gravitree's lane unless there is already a zombie occupying the lane.

Gravitree can also be used to move zombies into unfavorable environments, such as Spikeweed Sector, Hot Lava, or Bog of Enlightenment. This will work similarly to a Black Hole for zombies, as they will get moved to the environment, then receive the effects.

You can also play Force Field on the lane Gravitree is on to protect it from damage, meaning not even PvZH Deadly IconDeadly zombies can destroy it; only instant-kills can. In fact, a good combo (if you're playing as Grass Knuckles) is to play it in Force Field, then play an Umbrella Leaf behind it. As long as your opponent doesn't get to the Umbrella Leaf or use cards that bypass its protection, they will be unable to deal with Gravitree at all.

However, Gravitree has a couple of weaknesses. As a plant with high strength and health, it is a prominent threat. As it is played as early as possible, the zombie hero may anticipate it and save up for a trick to destroy it immediately, even before you could come up with something against said tricks due to the relative difficulty of preparing the necessary setup cards. The ability can backfire as well, since it may effectively move your opponent's strong zombies into its lane and reduce its lifespan. Gravitree also does not have offensive abilities helping it to hit past the zombie blocking it, so your opponent can simply put something weak in its lane to deny its impact easily and strike from somewhere else, especially PvZH Deadly IconDeadly zombies which can destroy it effortlessly. Finally, you must note it will not move gravestones, and while it can move the zombie as it enters the field, your opponent could move it or the zombie, which allows them to bypass the ability anyway.

Against[]

Against Gravitree, try to play instant-kills like Rocket Science or Locust Swarm. To negate Gravitree's ability, you can play a cheap zombie first, then the zombie of your choice. That way, said zombie can be played without it being moved to Gravitree's lane.

Another way to counter Gravitree is by using moving cards like Sumo Wrestler, Terrify, and Smoke Bomb. This will effectively negate Gravitree's ability for the turn.

As a last resort, provided if it is able to take direct damage use PvZH Deadly IconDeadly zombies with 2 strength or more, or non-PvZH Deadly IconDeadly zombies with 8 strength or more to destroy it instantly. This ensures you can get rid of it without the plant causing too much trouble.
