i really like the Acid Lemon, one of the rare plants of this game that could properly interact with the environments and zombies without being buggy

[@mixamasl]

It's was also one of the easiest legendary plant to obtain and max out, because it's seed packets were sold at pvp-mode shop for medals which were easy to farm. Why "was"? Because that pvp-mode got removed and replaced with 3-laned multiplayer one.

I think the reason why acidic citrus' projectiles affect fossilheads and imp eggs is due to the fact that some acids can burn fossils or bones since they have trace carbon in them just like calcite.

[@overlord3481]

No, it's because they are made of calcium carbonate. Acids react with calcium carbonate.

Fun fact: Rafflesia, along with Pomegranate, Snow Cotton, Pretty Little Plum, and Jackfruit, used to be know as the "worst 5" plants in pvz2c. Although I would argue that all the other four has a degree of usage, Rafflesia is certainly the worst of the five and still belongs in that spot today. Pomegranate has pretty good dps, just needs a lot of sun to function well Snow Cotton, as long as you maintain some defense or plant two columns, can have great crowd control and dps Pretty Little Plum is useful against a horde when spammed, and it has a good pf Jackfruit is a utility plant, not that great but does its job well (looks at flatshroom) Rafflesia has no redeeming qualities, even on high levels its not ever worth bringing.

Here would be my personal execution of Rafflesia Sun : 300 Health : 300 Attack Speed : 7s Recharge : 7s Ability : Rafflesias shoot spores down the lane which stun the zombies in the lane they pass by for 3 seconds, then explode on the second column furthest from home, dealing 450 damage in a 3×3 area. Plant food : Shoots 5 homing spores (1 spore for each zombie) at the 5 zombies closest to home, these spores are the exact same as the ones from the regular attack. If there is 4 or less zombies on the lawn, 2 or more of the spores will pick a random zombie to explode on. If there are no zombies on the lawn, the spores will pick random tiles to explode on.

When I play this game a few years back (I don't play it anymore since that phone is long gone), Acidic Citrus literally carried me, I got him to level 3 fast and he started demolishing stages. Along with Cryo-shroom those two are my favorite plants. Also I think Rafflesia shouldn't in Frostbite Caves but instead Lost City as that plant seemed out of place there, but I guess they need another plant for that world since Rotobaga is moved to Sky City.

[@djm334wog]

Cryo-shroom and Citrus are broken for sure. Cryo-shroom is especially useful in Kongfu World, since the Torch Monks exist.

[@halfway7690]

Does anyone remember a Chinese PVZ3? It was a card collecting tower defense sort of game. Like PVZ heros combined with the attacking and defense elements of Clash of Clans. You collected plant cards to set up a lawn defense and collected zombie cards to attack other players. All the cards were unique like you had singer and nurse sunflowers. One of the zombies was the bandit zombie. It would stay on the right of the screen and fire stones from a slingshot at plants. This was the way for zombies to get resources. The plants were also sleeping at the beginning of the level but would wake up over time/when a zombie is place down/when they get hit. Some plants had gimmicks that they're awake at the beginning of the level.

[@chaosjakeatron]

Dude I remember that game when I was young. I legit thought it was real in China and made drawings from those styles of plants.
