Cuttercress

Cuttercress is a seedium plant in Plants vs. Zombies 2, introduced as part of the Big Beach Brawl Encore Thymed Event. He slices through all zombies 1 tile in front of him, dealing 40 damage.
Upon cutting, he'll also create a wave behind the zombies, which gets shot forwards like a pea and the like. This wave deals a base damage of 10, but also goes up by 10 for each and every zombie cut.
Like Guacodile, Electric Peel, and some others, Cuttercress is also amphibious, meaning he can be planted on both water and land.
==Origins==
Cuttercress is based on the , an aquatic flowering plant native to Europe and Asia in the family . Watercresses have hollow stems, which allow them to float on water, which is what Cuttercress' amphibious quality is based on.
His name is a portmanteau of "Cut", referring to how he attacks zombies by cutting them, and "Watercress" the plant he's based on.

==Strategies ==
Cuttercress is a rather unique melee plant, mainly due to his waves its properties. Because of his gimmick, and also virtue of the fact that his slashes have an area of effect, it's best to use Cuttercress against large, clumped up groups of zombies to fully maximize his potential as a lane sweeper. With that said, it's recommended to partner him up with plants such as Sweet Potato and Hot Date to crowd zombies into his range.
His amphibious nature makes him a good pick for Big Wave Beach, as he can be placed directly on the water and also cannot be drowned by Fisherman Zombie. Besides that, he's also pretty good in said world, mainly due to the numerous amounts of grid items and zombie density present.
Zombies with a good chunk of health - Buckethead Zombies, Robo-Cones, Pharaoh Zombies, you name it - are pretty good sources of wave damage, since they last quite a bit. In a similar sense, zombies that spawn other zombies like Arcade Zombies and Imp Porters can help crowd up Cuttercress' range.
With all the zombie group management going on, it's imperative to bring some form of defensive plant, preferably something tanky like Tall-nut or Primal Wall-nut, and if you really wanna seal the deal, bring Aloe as well to heal the walls.
As far as zombies you should be careful of, there's not a whole lot. Zombies that can disable your defense like Wizard Zombie and Octo Zombie may cause trouble, but simply play your cards right and you're good to go.
