Buttercup

Template:Infobox Plant/GW2

**Buttercup** is a new playable plant class in Plants vs. Zombies & the Powerpuff Girls and the member of the Powerpuff Girls. She returned to Townsville from fighting throughout the planet during the battle for Suburbia, only to find that the zombies have conquered Townsville. Like the other girls, not much has changed her personality. Among the Powerpuff Girls, Buttercup is a happy-go-lucky tomboy and the most aggressive, usually having an angrier disposition in comparison to the other plants. However, she happens to be somewhat of a troublemaker. Then she decided to bring the fight to them.

## Strategies

### Tips & Tricks

* The Egg Shower is great at taking out groups of zombies.
* Dodge Leap can be used to deflect incoming shots and also to hop up onto rooftops or tactical areas.
	+ Pull the joystick/control key back to make Buttercup stay in one spot. You can hop over players and they usually do not notice you nor can they escape in time.
* Drill is great for taking out Z-Mechs and Royal-Robots as they are easy to hit.
* Try and throw the Egg Shower onto objectives.
* A good tactic for taking out Z-Mech or Royal-Robot is to use the Egg Shower, then Dodge Leap over Z-Mech or Royal-Robot, then fire your Drill at him or her when you land.
* Buttercup, along with Kernel Corn is very similar to Foot Soldier in many ways, so play it similarly.
* Drills don't have to be completely accurate. They give off small splash damage when they hit something.
* Dodge Leap can be used to quickly and easily get in and out of situations.
* Spamming the jump button immediately after using Dodge Leap propels you forward in a straight line until you either stop jumping or lose momentum.
	+ Only works if you don't touch any of the movement controls.
