Blossom

**Blossom** is a playable plant class in Plants vs. Zombies & the Powerpuff Girls and the leader of the Powerpuff Girls. Like the other girls, not much as changed to her personality, as she still appears to be the self-proclaimed leader like her original counterpart and appears to still be more intelligent than her sisters. She is very orderly, having all of her things organized in a specialized place.

## Descriptions

#### Website description

*Blossom is the commander and the leader… and also a smart one. Her one of a kind ability allows her to get into the action faster than any other Plant, then instantly attack for maximum effectiveness!*

#### Stickerbook description

*Blossom is a commander and a leader, who also happens to be smart. She's here to chew bubblegum and kick Royal-Robot butt, and she's all out of bubblegum.*

#### In-game description

*Use her slapping Hair Whip, deflectable Bow Shield and Zombie-freezing Ice Breath to get right into the action, laying waste to Zombies with her Yo-Yo!*

## AI Health

## Primary weapon

Blossom's primary weapon is called the Yo-Yo. It is controlled by her string, giving her full control of its movements and spin. She can also make emit pink energy blasts, has a multi-hit ability, and can catch Zombies (it overheats though). It deals 2 normal damage at long range but this ramps up to 9 regular damage at close range. The yo-yo also deals 2 blast damage to any target within a 0.5 meter radius. This blast damage stacks with the direct hit damage.

## Strategies

Blossom's primary weapon, the Yo-Yo, is most effective when consistently having the target zombie in the center of your crosshair. Keep in mind that in order to do proper damage to zombies with the Yo-Yo, you will need to go right up to them (the yo-yo does very low damage at long range).

### With

As Blossom, you need to play as aggressively as possible. Charge into a fight or objective. With 200hp, Blossom is able to sponge a lot of damage. She is also given an ability called "Bow Shield". Use that ability when you engage a Zombie player from frontal damage. If you feel that you are about to get vanquished, use the “Ice Breath” ability and get out of the area, and find Sunflower to restore your health. At full health again? Charge back into the fight.
Blossom excels at Herbal Assault, as she is able to quickly jump into an objective to start capturing.
Avoid attacking at long range if you aren't an accurate player. Missing your attacks gives away your position to Zombies. If you have good aim, definately shoot long range targets. It doesn't do much damage, but by the time they reach you they will have much less health (making it easier for you or your teammates to finish them off).

### Against

When fighting Blossom, try to make it as hard for Blossom to hit you as possible. Imps and Princess Morbuckses are great at dodging Blossom's Yo-Yo. Seeing Blossom isn't exactly a small target, it should be easy to hit her while she is in Assault Mode. As Foot Soldier, don't be afraid to rocket leap up to Blossom and shoot your ZPG at it. Just be careful, as some Blossom players can quickly hit the ZPG with their Bow Shields.

All Ice variants of Zombie characters are extremely effective against Blossom.

### Tips & Tricks

* The Hair Whip can be used to immobilize nearby regular zombies to help your teammates but its principal use is to act as a countermeasure against Princess Morbucks' mechs which will be hit for a longer period of time than other targets if hit, allowing you and your allies to inflict maximum damage to it without fear of retaliation.
* The Bow Shield will hit any damage dealt from the front but any other angle remains vulnerable. Do not give your enemies a chance to flank you.
* Ice Breath's best uses are to quickly freeze zombies and the zombies’ battlefield to reach a firing position, and to rapidly re-position yourself. The ability can also be used to escape from a bad situation.

## Trivia

* She appears to be the character from the 2016 reboot series of “The Powerpuff Girls” on Cartoon Network.
* Similar to Rose, she never walks when she moves, but rather, she hovers while floating slightly above the ground.
	+ Her description also says "Blossom is a commander and the leader, just like from the series of “The Powerpuff Girls”.
* Blossom and Bubbles, along with their variants and Citron and Rose, along with their variants, are the only plants to wield an actual weapon. Blossom is equipped with a pink laser blaster.
* The sentence, "She's here to chew bubblegum and kick Royal-Robot butt, and she's all out of bubblegum" is a reference to a scene from the 1988 dystopian sci-fi action movie *They Live*.
* In the January 2016 patch, Blossom's weapon now overheats faster. In addition, her Yo-Yo now absorbs 10 damage rather than 25.
* According to Kade Wood, Blossom and Citron are best friends and occasional bounty hunting rivals.
* In Assault Mode, she has the slowest movement speed out of all playable characters.
* She is one of the four classes to have two Legendary variants (Iron Blossom, Party Blossom), with the others being Fuzzy Lumpkins (Toxic Lumpkins, Party Party Lumpkins), Buttercup (Party Buttercup, Commando Buttercup), and Princess Morbucks (Princess Party, Princess Scallywag).
* Blossom, Torchwood and some variants of Chomper are so far the only plant classes that do not use clip-based weapons but instead use a weapon with infinite ammo that overheats.
* In trailers, she had 32 ammo, different ability icons and her weapon name was "Blossom String" instead of "Yo-Yo." This was later changed to infinite ammo with an overheating mechanism.
	+ Electro Blossom is the only variant that actually had 32 ammo in the final release. Though it was later reduced to 24 ammo.
