Scientist

The **Scientist** is a playable zombie class in Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare and serves as the healer class for the zombie faction. He uses his Goo Blaster as his primary weapon and has 100 health. He is mainly used for close-range combat, as he cannot shoot very far at long-distance. He can use his Warp to enter and exit a fight and to move around quicker, he can heal zombies with his Zombie Heal Station, and can also blow up plants with his Sticky Explody Balls.
