Plants vs Zombies Garden Warfare Guide › Boss Mode

How to Play Boss Mode

Boss Mode is about proper resource management. As Dr. Zomboss or Crazy Dave, you must gather resource points that fall down the map screen, Brainz or Sundrops respectively, and then put those points toward the powers that will best assist your team. The resources you need to collect will scroll across the screen, and you can use a controller, Kinect, or SmartGlass compatible device, in order to collect them. Each floating resource you collect gives you 25 of that resource to put toward your special abilities.

Both Bosses have four abilities that fall into the same categories: Spotting, Healing, Resurrect, and Airstrike.

A Boss Is Not Invincible!

This must be emphasized: you’re vulnerable to enemies when playing as the Boss! While the Zomboss Blimp and Crazy Dave’s RV do orbit high above the battlefield, they are huge targets. If a team wants to take down the enemy Boss, they can quickly do so with concentrated firepower, chewing through the 2,000 health a Boss starts with. Worse yet, the health doesn’t come back. It’s the duty of a team to not give the enemy free opportunities to shoot down their Boss! If a Boss is shot down, they’re not gone for good! After a short cooldown, you are able to play in Boss Mode again.
