Plants Vs. Zombies 2

I just set up a whole bunch of spikeweeds. The only thing that can get past two layers of spikeweeds is the seagull zombie, so if I've got a plant that can deal with them easily, or they aren't on the map, I can ignore those lanes completely.

I went for expansion. You end up with far more seedlings than you'll ever need, even with fully expanded garden. With reduced room, you might end up hitting the seedling cap.

Holy crap, I never realized Bowling Bulbs are this great. They are good at both dealing with Imp Cannons and crowd controlling, while less than half the price of plants like Winter Melon, Coconut Cannons, and Banana Launcher.

Also,its Plant Food power up can take out TWO entire lanes at once....even if those lanes are filled with Gargantuars!

They do better when there are lulls in the enemy forces, though. Only the weakest bulb will recharge if the lane isn't empty, and each bulb (excluding during a plant food boost) deals a differing amount of damage.

Bowling Bulb would be worth using if it can recharge its blue and orange bulbs even when attacking. As it is now, Laser Bean is better since it can potentially hit more enemies, and more reliable.

But yeah, BB's Plant Food is among the best effect in the game.

Anyway, JM has been leaked. Raptor is shown. It wanders back and forth for a while, but when it encounters a zombie it kicks them 3 squares forwards. Unlike Breakdancer it can only kick one at a time.

They really want to push BWB down from 5 jalapenos to 4 jalapenos, if what I remember about that era is correct.

-sighs- I miss Level 24 worlds.

I wish the next world has 20 levels.

So, next world. Can we talk about Primal Wall-nut's recharge real fast.

That's the stuff of legends there.

Man, that's some weak but insanely fast charging defense plant.

The best recharge for any defensive plant. That extra 25 sun is VERY worth the insane charging speed for a defensive plant.

And you thought Herbivores Are Friendly... Stegosaurus is a bigger pain than Raptor, throwing groups of zombies to random lanes on the fourth column. WHAT.

Perfume-Shroom is shown. It makes the dinos start instakilling the zombies when they reach the dinos, Raptor kicks them outta the lawn, Stegosaurus uses a tail smash to destroy them

Pteranodon is shown and it is a complete ass. Basically, it turns the right-most zombie into a Digger/Prospector zombie, by turning them around and carrying them away to the first square before dropping them so they eat your defences from behind. If hypnotized, it will grab the zombie closest to your house on that lane and carry them away, essentially killing them.

Okay, you just know that there will be a premium plant that can kill dinosaurs just waiting.

I don't think they'd release a premium plant that is usable only in one Era. Gem plant, maybe.

Good point.

Still, I know that I will have at least several moments where I would want to just kill those goddamn dinosaurs.

I like the soundtrack, by the way.

This is when one needs Imitater and Perfume-Shroom...

Don't kill the dinosaurs, make them fight for you instead! Pretty much all their perfumed abilities are OHKO as of now.

What do Perfume Shroom do again?

Also, man, this World calls for Chard Guard, Blover, and Hurrikale.

For 150 sun, Perfume-Shroom makes all dinosaurs in the lane you plant it in work against the zombies:

• Raptors will kick zombies they run into back off-screen for a one-hit kill.
• When zombies get snared in its tail, Stegosaurus will smash the ground. This one-shots all zombies it smashes and deals splash damage to others around it.
• Pterodactyl picks up the zombie furthest in on the lane and carries it away. Then it comes back to repeat the process~

Also of note, I've heard Blovers do nothing to stop Pterodactyls or the zombies it picks up. Your best bet there is probably Hurrikale, really.

Oh, and Grapeshot? The new premium plant? Let's see how broken it is, from what I'm gathering on GameFAQs:
150 sun instakill plant, launches bouncing projectiles in eight directions after blowing up, and thanks to the projectiles it one-shots Gargantuars.
It's probably going to be nerfed.

If the things you listed are all true, it basically has to be nerfed. As such it completely obsoletes Cherry Bomb.

It's not as if they'd care, the Cherry Bomb is already part of a package.

It might end up having a time delay like the Potato Mine, or need Plant Food to activate.

If nothing else, this Primitive Pea Shooter looks hella more useful.

Anyhow, I'm looking forward to a Jurassic Marsh.

I wonder if we will get any Pinata Party where we can use JM plants before the World becomes playable?

Grapeshot seemed that powerful from the Pinata Party.

Also really fun. It takes the fun part of the Bowling Bulb (the bouncing, ricocheting projectiles) and ditches the "this only does damage if it has time to charge" bit.

Seriously, what were they thinking with that? Its attack pattern is most useful against crowds, but if a level is crowded, it's so weak to be useless.

... lord, I hate BWB.

I absolutely abhor BWB Day 28 (or was it 29) where you have to survive while losing no more than two plants. This had ALL the Demonic Spiders, including gargantuars coming out during Low Tides.

HOLY FUCK.

I got so pissed off that I ended up bringing FIVE Boosted Plants and made the level a total bitch. THAT's how much I hated that level.

Holy shit, Grapeshot is mindlessly powerful.

When you put in right on a Gargantuar, you can one shot it.

No way this isn't going to get nerfed.
