Pvz3 Snow pea was actually buffed/nerfed?! It now fires slower but does more damage

[@jezierskioliwier2212]

Thats more like a nerf to me, since i thing snowpea's gig is being a peashooter that also slows down zombies And with inceasing damage and decreasing attack speed it makes the slows down zombies worse since less uptime

[@schmingbeefin4473]

Sounds like a nerf, actually, since you want more hits with snow pea, to impact the most amount of zombies in a line.

[@mnimeion]

it's more of a nerf since it decrease snow pea's slowing capabilities

[@TheRedRobber]

It's more of a nerf than a buff. The point of using snow pea is to slow down enemies, and slower fire rate will make it worse at slowing down enemies.

[@snappythesnapster1856]

This isn't a buff or a nerf. The slower speed but higher damage means it holds similar DPS as before while still being able to apply chill to a zombie regularly. Why was this change even made?

[@flameofthephoenix8395]

12:24 Snow pea doing half as much damage per second but slowing by 50% is still useful, if you have both a snowpea and a peashooter it will be like having three peashooters because the peashooter is double as effective, this sounds like a good change to me as it makes the snow peas by themselves no more than a regular peashooter but in concert with other plants is where they exceed, though I have not played the game so I can't know.

[@WillMAW2]

my thoughts exactly, it seems very dismissive to just say that pvz3 snow pea is weak sauce if the effective power is practically equivalent to a peashooter and slowing down zombies boosts the effective damage of other plants too

[@flameofthephoenix8395]

@@WillMAW2 Yes, however this does seem to imply there is a focus more on strategy for this game, in which case they've failed miserably. They need more unique functions for plants to do, niche ones that only apply when paired with other plants/zombies, like a Bonk choy being able to team up with a nut defensive plant by having an ability with a cooldown where it can raise the nut up then drop it back down to smash zombies, perhaps every 30 seconds a Bonk choy could do this. These are the kinds of things they need to add to make more strategy.

[@snappythesnapster1856]

​@flameofthephoenix8395 Plants already have strategies and synergies with each other, your suggestion is pointless.

[@zchicken3076]

My reaction aswell

[@miimiiandco]

Snow Pea still seems bad in PvZ3 simply due to how PvZ3 works. Zombies come insanely rapidly, usually swarming a single lane, and Snow Pea can only chill one Zombie at a time. It's better in that it's easier to get out in the insanely fast pace of PvZ3.

Snow pea is actually my favorite plant in PvZ 1, not because of it's usability, but because it always felt iconic to the first game. The winter melon takes a lot of time to set up as said in the video, so this makes the snow pea in some early levels the better option! I love snow pea, but of course there's better options in all the games!😁

[@377GhrHello]

New series idea: no projectile shotting plants. So no shooters, catipults or similar plants. Ground based plants like spikeweed and explosives like Cherry Bomb and Potato Mine are allowed. If a plant uses itself for a attack, like Guaodile are also allowed. It may not shoot any projectiles though. Basicly anything airborne might count as a projectile

I actually really like the PvZ3 rework, chaning Snow Pea into a cheap staller instead of a damage-staller hybrid. It basically multiplies the damage a single zombie receives by 2. A Snow Pea and Peashooter together are basically like 3 Peashooters. Unfortunately PvZ3's insanely fast pace, and tendancy to swarm a single lane make Snow Pea a lot worse, since it's peas only work on one Zombie at a time.

[@amethysttheotter5943]

in pvz1 snow pea is mvp plant in I zombie levels, they litterally debuff your zombie dramastically in a mode where you want to use as low sun as possible to deal with the lane, especially in endless, and snow pea at the back of the lane is something even football cant deal with at times

2:21 Not 75 sun, 250 sun and a seed slot. Is just the worst combo in the entire franchise and another reason snow pea is not good, because if you want to use peas on more difficult levels you need torchwood, otherwise you're just better using winter melonpults and gloomshroom.

Snow pea is fine in pvz 3. Snow pea only does slightly reduced damage to zombies for example: peashooter takes 5 peas to kill an imp while Snow pea takes 7. Same for normal zombies peashooter takes 10 while Snow pea takes 14. On top of the 50% speed reduction it's a good plant.

[@Myah_shee]

[@sonicmeerkat]

i mean snowpea dealing less damage while costing the same isn't the worst, even in the first game you'd deal more damage per tile using 1 snowpea and 2 peashooters for only 25 extra sun compared to buying 2 snows, you only really used it for the slowing effect so making it cheaper is actually a considerable buff. the issue is actually the lack of plant selection, there is no risk reward between using another slot to increase your general damage verses taking another insta to deal with higher health zombies. pvz3 is a strategy game with its biggest strategic element removed, it's why i hate the locked and loaded stages in pvz2, they only really work as tutorials for new plants because you're so limited in options but pvz1 already shown you just give the plant when you actually need it, like cactus is a forgettable plant but you don't forget to use it cause when you unlock it there's baloon zombies next stage.
