Wall-Knight

Template:Heropic

“	Heed me! Wall-Knight is simply nuts about leading his fellow nuts into battle. And when they get together, they're hard to crack. For Wall-Knight, the longer a fight goes, the better for him...but NOT for you.	”
—Dr. Zomboss

Wall-Knight is a plant hero in Plants vs. Zombies Heroes, and the leader of the Guardian and Solar classes. His signature superpower is Uncrackable, which makes him shielded for the turn it is played, and gives him a card.

He is the hero version of Template:PvZH Link.

Origins

Wall-Knight is based on the nut of a genus Juglans, commonly referred to as a walnut. He may also be based on Shining Knight (which may allude to his Solar class), a comic book superhero of the Detective Comics franchise. The way the armor of Wall-Knight puts on may be a reference to Isaac Clarke's armor from "Dead Space."

His name is a portmanteau of "Template:PvZH Link," the plant that he is based on, and "knight," referring to the armor he has.

Strategies

Wall-Knight uses Team-Up to build an invincible Nut fortress from which to lob bombs at unsuspecting Zombies.

With

Wall-Knight's two classes, Guardian and Solar, work very well with each other. Wall-Knight can protect his sun-producing plants like Template:PvZH Link behind tough Team-Up plants like Template:PvZH Link, allowing him to generate sun more safely. This means Wall-Knight can bring out powerful plants like Three-Headed Chomper or Soul Patch much earlier in the game, and with defensive plants guarding them, the opponent will have a hard time breaking through your setup and defending themselves at the same time. Wall-Knight can also guard aquatic lanes due to him having access to Amphibious plants, such as Water Chestnut and Template:PvZHLink.

Wall-Knight has many tricks from Guardian and Solar that can easily get rid of zombies while allowing plants with Bullseye or Strikethrough to safely hurt the zombie hero without getting hurt. Wall-Knight can get rid of gravestones with Template:PvZH Link and get rid of other zombies with Template:PvZH Link or Template:PvZH Link. Additionally, with Template:PvZH Link and Shamrocket, both of which destroy zombies that have 4 or more, and Template:PvZH Link and Template:PvZH Link, which can take care of zombies with 3 or less, Wall-Knight can instantly destroy any zombie regardless of strength.

In fact, there are some synergies only Guardian and Solar plants have with each other. As such, Wall-Knight has arguably the strongest synergy among both nuts and flowers. Spineapple does not only boost the typical defensive plants like Wall-Nut, but also boosts Sunflower, Template:PvZHLink and Template:PvZHLink in the process. Smackadamia can boost Mixed Nuts on top of the other nuts in the Guardian class. Speaking of Mixed Nuts, it can be placed behind defensive Guardian plants like Water Chestnut. And finally, Poppin' Poppies and Steel Magnolia benefit Briar Rose and Template:PvZHLink greatly by instantly making more flowers or generally allowing them to take more hits, on top of being flowers themselves.

Wall-Knight can also turn into a healing wall by using Geyser, 2nd-Best Taco of All Time and Venus Flytraplanet, as well as setting up Template:PvZHLink, Template:PvZHLink, Pepper M.D. and Heartichoke behind his defensive wall. He can also move plants around with Bubble Up or Gardening Gloves to move important plants out of the way of strong zombies. If Wall-Knight gets overwhelmed, Wall-Knight can use Uncrackable as his last straw.

Wall-Knight's flaw, however, is that he has no way of boosting his plants' strength, and his superpowers don't help cover it either, as they are all defensive. This means Hearty heroes can outlast Wall-Knight while breaking through his defensive wall with Rolling Stone and Weed Spray, leaving him and his plants vulnerable to any powerful zombie that may come out sooner or later. Fortunately though, Wall-Knight has access to cards like Squash, Lawnmower, Whack-a-Zombie, and Template:PvZH Link, allowing him to instantly remove any annoying zombie threat. Still, the two aforementioned tricks are huge threats to him. Rush decks are also hard to deal as Wall-Knight since he lacks cards that remove rush decks easily.

Against

When you are against Wall-Knight, be cautious of a single Sunflower or Wall-Nut he sends out, as it could allow him to easily set up and be unstoppable in the late-game. Since Wall-Knight can stall for very long, it is recommended that you finish him off as early as possible. Use sheer force, instant-kill cards, or Deadly zombies to break through his defensive wall and ruin his offensive line too, especially Weed Spray.

Wall-Knight is also specialized at instant removal, as he can remove any zombie he wants with cards such as Whack-a-Zombie, Chomper, Doom-Shroom, or Shamrocket. In addition, he also has access to Grave Buster, meaning even zombies with the Gravestone trait are not safe. Play your zombies carefully and make sure zombies have a guaranteed chance to hit.
