Cannonball Swabbie

Cannonball Swabbie is an Event Zombie in Plants vs. Zombies Heroes and a member of the Crazy class. He costs 4 to play and has 3 and 3 . His Pirate Evolution ability deals 2 damage to the Plant Hero for each Pirate on the field. 
One copy of Cannonball Swabbie was awarded to the player when they starting playing the new Set 5 Update. The event week "Cannonball Mayhem" allowed players to get more copies. 
==Origins and Story==
They are based of stereotypical cartoon cannons on Pirate Ships. 
It appears as a normal Swabbie, holding onto two tiny wooden control sticks. A slab of wood acts as it's chairback, while a lighted fuse hangs behind. The cannon is supported by two lilac wheels. 
In Set 5 - Refreshing Return, many Swabbies felt the wrath of Salmonella's Invasion Force, and stayed loyal to Neptuna. Neptuna was grateful for the help, promising that the Swabbies would get paid finely after the war, and provided equipment to increase their fighting power. Several high ranking Swabbies in particular got a powerful cannon, whose power increased for each Pirate on the field. 
In battle, Imp Commander is seen leading Cannonball Swabbies to battle Salmonella's forces. Their power comes in numbers, thus the battlefield is full of Neptuna's Pirate allies. During the final battle against the True Pirate Queen, Cannonball Swabbies were part of the decoy force, firing their cannon shots and creating rubble to distract her allied forces. When the war ended, they celebrated by firing confetti from their cannons into the sky.

===Card description===
They finally figured that having an Imp fire a cannon was more effective than shooting an imp out of a cannon.
==Strategies==
===With===
This zombie can be a solid addition to aggressive Pirate Decks. Use your Quickdraw Con Men, Monkey Smugglers and Captain Flameface to pack a punch, before dealing extra damage with this card. Cannonball Swabbie is very effective on Turn 5 with cards such as Barrel Roller Zombie or Parrot Commander played the turn before to fill the field with Pirates. Barrel of Barrels can conjure this card, so it might be helpful for Pirate decks to pick off big plants while punching back with this. He works well with Imp Commander, who will immediately draw a card when played. 
===Against===
Try and clear as many Pirates off the field, to limit the effect of this card. Stat wise, this card has low stats for a 4 drop zombie, and relies on a Pirate for it's effect. 
==Trivia==
*Cannonball Swabbies are seen as the bulk muscle of Neptuna's Pirate Imp army group, in the comic strip.
*The Imp's legs are hidden in a small cockpit under the cannon, just inches above the loaded cannonballs !
*Neptuna used a magical scroll to enchant the cannonball Swabbie fires based on the number of Pirate allies on the field.
* A curse on the scroll meant that a Pirate had to be sacrificed in order to fire the magical cannonball.
* In the cartoon, Sergeant Sweepster's Mech was seen running over the burning remnants of cannons belonging to Cannonball Swabbies, as Salmonella's forces scored a major victory in battle against Neptuna.
*Cannonball Swabbies Overshoot Animation fires a giant spiked ball at the Plant Hero.
*When destroyed, the cannon explodes as the Swabbie sits in a pile of ash.
