Plants vs. Zombies Heroes Beginner's Guide for Getting Started
Plants vs. Zombies Heroes is a card-based strategy game and the latest game in the Plants vs. Zombies game series. This game is published by Electronic Arts and is available on both Android and iOS platforms. This time, the battle between the plants and the undead zombies won't require a battlefield. It will be done with the help of collectible cards from both Plants and Zombies Hero sides. You have to create your deck of cards and collect your favorite characters. These characters then will be used to fight the opponents, so you have to strategize their moves and use them effectively.

Apart from new gameplay, PvJ Heroes introduces new characters or "Heroes" and over 200 collectible cards. The game allows you to choose your hero – plant or zombie and then engage in PvP and campaign battles. Because this is a card-collecting and dueling game, the strength of your deck will affect your performance.
In this article, we will discuss the gameplay of PvZ heroes and the basic game mechanisms to help beginners get started with the game. Also, Plants vs. Zombies for PC can be downloaded using emulators such as BlueStacks. So, let's get started with the Beginner's Guide without further ado.
Gameplay
Plants vs. Zombies Heroes is a card-based tactical game with tower defense elements. You and your opponent get a hero who serves as your central character. The game's goal is to deplete your opponent's hit points before he depletes yours. To do so, you both use a diverse set of cards to attack the other. You both place cards in five lines to attack the other player's hero, but you must first get past the other player's set-up forces. So, to reach the hero, you must first defeat his minions.
PvZH allows you to choose between a Plant or Zombie Hero. If you choose a plant as your hero, your currency will be of Sun icon, else in the case of Zombie Hero; it will be brains. Each player will get either sun or brain coin for the first turn. With each successive turn, the number of coins is increased by 1.
Playing as Zombies
Zombies will get to place their cards first, but players must remember that Zombies can play tricks just after a plant fighter puts down his or her cards, so don't waste all your brains laying down cards if you have a tactic you would like to use later.
Zombie cards can be used to place a zombie in a lane, improve zombies' skills, and allow players to draw out more cards from the deck.
Playing as Plants
Plants make their move after the zombies have laid down their cards before they can perform any tricks. Choosing a Plant as the hero will allow you to use their powers and cards in the same move.
Plant cards could do things differently; obviously it depends on who the hero is. They have the ability to:
Place a plant in a lane.
Improve a plant's skills or stats.
Allow players to draw more cards.
Zombie Tricks and Plant Powers
After the Plant defender has dealt their cards, Zombie tricks can be played. Zombie tricks can do fun things like allowing you to move a zombie to some other lane or making him lethal, which means it kills any plant it affects when the round is over. Players must therefore keep track of which zombie tricks they have within their possession and strategize their moves meticulously so that they have brains to spend on tricks.
Plant Powers are similar to zombie tricks. Plants will get to play these first, before zombies. Powers involve:
Dealing immediate damage to the Zombie hero.
Improving a plant's abilities or overall stats.
Removing a zombie from the game.
Freezing a zombie for that round.
Heroes
Heroes are the primary playable characters in Plants vs. Zombies Heroes, and they must be defeated for the game to end. Each hero has a trademark superpower as well as three others. Their classes determine which cards they can play and any potential combos they can pull off. Green Shadow and Super Brainz are the unassailable starting heroes for each team. After a certain number of matches, the player must select up to two new starter heroes to access cards from other classes.
