## Strategies

Relic Hunter Zombie is much more dangerous than his predecessor, Swashbuckler Zombie, due to his increased health and ability to land farther on your lawn, despite the lower speed. One group of zombies in the fourth column, some Porter Gargantuars and Excavator Zombies are enough to cause serious problems to your defense.

A good weapon against Relic Hunter Zombie is Blover, which can also eliminate some Bug Zombies in the process. Tall-nut and Endurian can also be useful for protecting plants from them, but Pumpkin is especially strong in this regard with him not taking up space, creating more space for other plants as well. Strong plants such as Coconut Cannon and Winter Melon may be needed to kill a group of them, especially in Temple of Bloom where these zombies are common. Hurrikale may also be useful in regular levels in Lost City against this zombie and Lost Pilot Zombies.

Toadstool can be useful to protect the fourth column of these zombies in levels. It is advisable to have Cherry Bomb or Grapeshot if many of these zombies land on the fourth column, or when the situation becomes tense.

Backward-shooting plants like Split Pea, Starfruit or Rotobaga when in front of them can deal considerable damage to Relic Hunter Zombies. Keep in mind, however, that if you have weak plants at the back, they may be able to destroy some. Be sure to complement Split Peas with another offensive plant.
