Arcana Hazella

(Original Hero Idea by Mosserinooo)

« »

Ahh, the Rogue Flower, Hazella left L.E.A.F. long ago after her fight with Rose concerning her Wild Magic. Ever since then, she's now on her own fighting for what she thinks is right. She manipulates the battle to her favor and patiently waits to strike, but when she does, she strikes real hard.

—Dr. Zomboss

Arcana Hazella is a plant hero in Plants vs. Zombies Heroes. She leads the Smarty and Kabloom classes. Her signature superpower is Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Shroom!, which destroys a damaged Zombie then creates a 2/2 Puff-Shroom in the same lane, if the if it was in the Amphibious Lane, it makes a Sea-Shroom instead.

She is the Hero version of Witch Hazel.

Origin

Arcana Hazella is based on her non-hero counterpart, Witch Hazel which is based on the plant "witch-hazel". The word "Arcana" is based on the word Arcane, which means understood by few, or mysterious which implies that she is far more powerful than her non-hero counterpart.

Strategy

With

Leading the Smarty and Kabloom Classes, Hazella has the ability to rush down her opponents in the early-game or take control over the battlefield before ending the game with heavy-hitting Plants.

All of her superpowers are themed around controlling and manipulating the battlefield and striking hard when the time is right. Her Signature superpower can give you an immediate advantage over your enemy by killing off a Zombie and spawning a Plant afterward. Belittle and Wicked Willows are great disablers for potential threats the Zombies set up. These superpowers have the ability to completely negate stats and dangerous traits the zombies have. Along with Kabloom's damage-based removal cards and Smarty's unique ways to disable and remove Zombies with bounce and other strength reducing cards, Hazella has a pretty decent capability to run a control deck. Coupling this with powerful finishers to work along with her Wild Magic Superpower, she can basically end games in one turn on the later parts of the game.

But do take note that Kabloom and Smarty don't necessarily have the best plants stat-wise to run an effective control deck with, aggressive decks can easily mow down all the plants you have on the board. Hazella's superpowers can enable you to run control but it still won't be the most effective.

Speaking of aggressive decks, Hazella is also capable of committing to faster and more aggressive decks. Given her classes, she can run Cycle, Hyper-Aggro, and Hyperswarm, Wild Magic can be a good early aggression tool and Bibbidi-Bobiddi-Shroom! can get rid of damaged high-health Zombies that block your attacks and as well as give you another Plant to attack with. Using Wild Magic on a plant with no Zombie blocking it can easily translate to 5-9 damage.

Against

Pay attention to how Hazella spends her resources during the early game, her tools allow her to run different archetypes. Field clears are useful against her when she tries to flood the board with small units to rush your health down. If removal isn't available, try to keep up with her pace and play aggressively as well, or make value trades that can translate as threats against her.

Also, keep an eye on the Amphibious lane as she has very powerful ways to buff up single plants and turn unblocked lanes into instant threats.
