[@sicklysweetdenouement]

To clarify on Fire Peashooter scaling well with leveling, it gains twice as much damage per level as Repeater. At level 3 alone, its already doing 80 per shot. It is honestly incredible for the f2p, considering how relatively strong it gets even at lower levels. also at level 5, it randomly deals 1.5x damage.

[@ganisimatupang]

​​@@wasabiflameIt's much easier to compare all plants at level 1 but when talking about the "best" gemium plants then all aspects should be discussed. Even if the leveling system makes all plants strong, there is always one plant that is better than the others, and in this case the max level Kiwibeast is the best because they are a permanent plant that is cheap, tough and can complete stages alone

Homing Thistle apparently for what I heard from Eclise and other modding experience, is an completely awful plant to balance.

About the firepeashooter levelling, yes, it is REALLY good. The first time you upgrade its cost already reduces from 175 to 150, making it much better at its role as "better repeater" and like all otehr attackers, it gets stronger and stronger with levelling, getting to a point where it unlock plasma peas

[@МаксимВарзарь-щ7п]

Pretty good tier list. Even in terms of leveling, penny pursuit and arena. But some plants from here my change places. Especially peanut and fire pea might go higher forst one because of arena synergies and second because of insane damage buff with splash on leveling , but kiwibeast , jalapeno and sapfling might go lower. First one because zombies have much higher bite damage in those mods so kiwi beast dies very fast, jalapeno is outclassed by almost all instas especially considering how insane chillie pepper is and sapfling will go lower because stalling isn't always that useful in those gamemods.

Side note regarding viability of Blover strategies in Arena: I think a couple of years ago, it was banned very often, but for the last year or so, it's been allowed in more tournaments so Blover strategies can work more often, and end up being the highest scoring strategy a good amount ot times. Most of the time, higher level Blover strategies just rely on Chardguard in C9 to fling zombies upward. However, there are also many zombies that would directly prevent such a Blover strategy from working, or certain mechanics (such as the current Bombegranate tournament, which has catapult zombie that crushes Chardguards, Torch Zombies that instantly burn them, and respawning graves that push Chardguards all over the place).

Fire pea definitely does have good leveling. Mine is level 3 and it already deals as much DPS as my level 5 repeater, so there's definitely a higher upgrade curve going on here.

14. Peanut: Bruh. 13. Fire peashooter: Just lame, outclassed by repeater+torchwood, only useful in frostbite caves. 12. Homing Thistle: The damage isn't great, and a lack of aoe and self-defense really hurts the plant. Using manual plants like banana and magni will give you way better results in targeting dangerous zombies. 11. Sweet Potato: has some nice synergy with other plants like currant. 10. Electric Currant: Really good plant food, strong at filtering out zombies, vulnerable to instakills. 9. My goat hypno-shroom. Bad most of the time, but can be really good against a few types of zombies, especially disco-trons. 8. Jalapeno: outclassed by cherry bomb 7. Lava Gauva. Pretty sure creeps just lied about lava gauva. Outclassed by primal potato mine, and is ugly too. 6. Squash. Outclasse by primal potato mine. 5. Sapfling. Super nice cheap staller, but suffers in long levels due to poor space efficiency, winter is better most of the time. 4. Ghost Pepper: Outclassed by primal potato mine, but still has some nice usage in big wave beach, plus a good plant food. 3. Huricale. Amazing unique staller that can permastall a whole lane, strong knockback and chill. 2.Kiwibeast. Godlike damage and aoe in its third form, absolutely shreds the zombies. 1. Shrinking Violet: Godlike. Cripples zombies by halving their health, making your plants tear them apart. Makes them super easy to stall too, underrated as an early game staller, especially when paired with nuts to stall many zombies at the same time. Basically neuters wild west by removing all the annoying chickens and imps. Plant food is easily top five in the game, using it with shadow-shroom and tile-turnip is basically a nuke.
