Barrier Priestess Zombie

Barrier Priestess Zombie is the ??th zombie encountered in Sakura Gardens in Plants Vs. Zombies 2. It moves at the same speed as a Basic Zombie, but can also conjure a barrier that covers the collumn it is currently standing on. The barrier can block any non-piercing projectiles and negate any splash damage said projectile may cause.

Almanac entry
Barrier Priestess Zombie can conjure a barrier that blocks all plant attacks.

Special: conjures a barrier that blocks projectiles.

Sure, Barrier Priestess Zombie often beats up any plants that get in her way. But if you can survive a confrontation with her, she'll instead befriend you and invite you over for tea.

Overview
Barrier Priestess Zombie absorbs 14 normal damage shots. Its left arm detaches at 7 NDS before dying at 14 NDS with its head popping off.

The barrier it conjures covers the collumn that it is standing on when conjuring it. The barrier can absorb 30 NDS and does not degrade. The barrier can block anything fired at it, incluidng piercing attacks such as Fume-Shroom's fumes (Guacodile and Parsnip's rush attacks can still penetrate it, however), as well as negating splash damages such as Winter-Melon's melons.

If a Barrier Priestess Zombie conjures a barrier in a collumn that already has a barrier, it will replace the damaged barrier with a fresh one.

Strategies
The Barrier Priestess Zombie is a dangerous zombie, as the barrier it conjures can block ALL plant attacks including piercing ones such as Laser Bean and Fume-Shroom, protecting the zombies behind it.

You can consider using instant kill plants to take out the barrier instantly, along with any zombies or the Barrier Priestess Zombie itself that get caught in the blast radius. Jalapeno is especially useful since its flames will destroy the barrier instantly, then burns every zombie in the lane you planted it on. Note however that Squash will NOT respond to the barrier itself, so Squash is not recommended. Potato Mines and Primal Potato Mines can also be planted directly under the barrier itself, whichwill destroy it the moment the Mines are armed, though you should be careful that the Mines aren't eaten by zombies before then.

Hypnotized zombies such as a Gargantuar can destroy the barrier very quickly. If you are able to hypnotize the Barrier Priestess Zombie itself, it will conjure barriers for you that will slow down all zombies as well as blocking their projectiles for as long as it lasts.
