Holly Knight

Holly Knight is a Plant of the Feastivus Event. It was introduced at Pvz 2: Unknown Eras DLC.

Origin
Holly Knight is based on a Holly (Ilex genus), a flowering plant in the family Aquifoliaceae, known for its use at Christmas Decorations.

The name was originally a scrapped name for Holly Barrier and is a pun on "Holy Knight", what references that this plant is also based on a Crusader, a knight that fought on a series of religious wars sanctioned by the Latin Church in the medieval period known as Crusades.

Effect


Holly Knight will deal diagonal cuts that start on the adjacent lane' s correspondent tile and ends 2 tiles away from it (can be fowards or backwards depending on where the Zombie is. This plant can only deal one cut at a time.

If a zombie reaches the tile in front of Holly Knight, the plant will "smite" it, dealing moderate damage and knocking it back 5 tiles. Smited Zombies will display a golden aura and will act as moving Holly Knights, copying the cutting movements of the smiter. Holly Knight can only smite a Zombie every 25 seconds.

Plant Food Effect
When fed with Plant Food, Holly Knight will deploy 5 Holly Orbs on random tiles. Holly Orbs explode on touch, damaging every zombie on a 3x3 area, except the one that triggered it. The one that causes a Holly Orb to explode will get "smited".
