Cornucopia is a premium legendary plant card in Plants vs. Zombies Heroes, and a member of the Solar class. It costs 10 to play, and has 6/6.
It does not have any traits, and its ability makes a random plant from
the entire game, including another Cornucopia, on every lane excluding
the lane it is on.
Cornucopia is a decent plant
with an interesting ability. However, it is an extremely expensive plant
to play, and you will not get a chance to play it in most situations.
It is recommended to use a deck that generates lots of sun to play it
earlier.
It is best to play Cornucopia when almost all lanes are empty, as
it does not fill lanes with a plant already in them, unless they have
the
Team-Up trait, which in that case, Cornucopia will make them behind those plants. If you are playing as
Solar Flare, you can play
Pineclone
after you play Cornucopia to make the created plants stronger if they
are weaker than Pineclone. However, keep in mind that Cornucopia itself
will be transformed too, so only use it when the total strength of the
Pineclones are more than the total strength of your original plants. You
can also
Bounce Cornucopia to play it again as
Rose. Since every plant made by Cornucopia counts as playing a plant,
Muscle Sprout
benefits from it greatly. However, this also means that there is one
less lane for Cornucopia's ability to take place in, and only Chompzilla
can do it normally.
However, Cornucopia's ability is extremely luck-based. While it can make amazing plants like
Guacodile, or even legendary plants like
Kernel Corn or
Bananasaurus Rex, it can also make weak plants or even tokens like
Lil' Buddy or
Peashooter, or plants that do not synergize with your deck, such as
Admiral Navy Bean
in a non-bean-based deck. Either way, it is a good plant to block
damage in unprotected lanes, as well as filling out aquatic lanes which
is especially helpful for Solar Flare and
Chompzilla, as both lack
Amphibious plants.
Due to its ability, it can help bring you to back to the game if
Zombot 1000
destroys your defenses. Although it can not carry you by itself, it
makes other plants that can stall you for some time to make a comeback.
However,
Immorticia's
Teleport + Zombot 1000 combo renders this useless, unless it luckily makes a
Brainana.
On top of Cornucopia's stats being high, it can also make other
dangerous plants that can seriously threaten you. Make sure you have
tricks that do damage to multiple plants at once to get rid of all of
them really quickly. If you're lucky and your opponent only managed to
get low health plants or those with low strength, then dealing with the
Cornucopia itself and the plants shouldn't be a problem since
Weed Spray and
The Chickening can get rid of the plants while
Rocket Science and
Locust Swarm can deal with the Cornucopia. The Chickening combined with
Zombot Sharktronic Sub
is a deadly combo, and easily take out all the plants made by
Cornucopia, including itself. An alternative method is to play Zombot
1000, although this only can be used on the next turn unless you are
playing as Immorticia and play it with Teleport, or happen to get it
through
Gargantuars' Feast.
However, the best way is to finish the battle before your
opponent can play one. Removing sun-producing plants is a priority, as
they allow your opponent to play it earlier.
Deadly zombies are also useful, as they can destroy such plants in one hit only.
