Hey wolfy, if you're ever uncertain about what a zombie does initially, remember to look at the almanac to see it's abilities and weaknesses. Though I do think you need to have faced it atleast once to show up there

Stallia is one of the only plants that gains a new ability as it levels up. At level 5 (which you probably won't get) it knocks zombies back a tile in a 3x3 area. It's not that much but can be paired with Blover to instakill any zombies (even Gargantuars).

[@masterlitfam5768]

PVZ tip: one thing you can take into account when placing plants down is the time for their projectile to hit a zombie. Straight shooters like repeater can hit zombies faster with their projectile the closer they are to the target zombie. Vice versa the projectile will take longer to hit a zombie the further they are from the plant that shot it. This means that the best rows to put straight shooters down is around the middle so their projectiles can hit the zombies sooner while still giving room for ample protection. Projectiles from overhead plants like melon pult will always take the same amount of time to hit their target zombie, whether they're at the opposite end of the yard or right up close to their face. Because of this overhead plants prefer to be around the back of your setup, since distance doesn't effect the time for the projectile to hit the zombie and because the plants in front of them can stall until the projectile finally makes contact.

[@nd_kui1772]

Wait but peashooters shoot at a rate, what I mean is that if it takes the pea shooter 10 secs to shoot.(which I know it doesn’t take that long) If the projectile hits the zombie as soon as the pea shooter shoots. That doesn’t mean the peashooter will shoot again right away. It will still have to wait those 10 secs to shoot again. So no matter how close the zombie is to the pea shooter. It Will shoot at that same rate.

[@orandza023]

@@nd_kui1772 doesn't matter, zombie will still die slightly earlier because it gets hit earlier. Granted I've never personally cared about this and I don't think it changes much.

[@owenwagner2108]

For the remaining Gem plants…. Squash sure does that. It’s a good pick if you’re not looking for anything specific. Same with Jalapeño. Homing Thistle can tartet zombies in any lane, making it good when space is limited. Pea-nut is just outclassed in both of its qualities, and its DPS is halved when it hits half health. Just use a Repeater. Hypno-Shroom can be useful as is heals the zombie that it hypnotizes. It also turns it’s eater into a Gargantuar if its given plant food! Electric Currant is… weird. It’s unorthodox, as you need to have 2 in the same row/column but has really good DPS with plant food.

1:56 ayy Cam btw, this is where stunion would fill in the gap, because fire dmg doesn't affect his stun, so it's a good pair with lava guava who deals lots of dmg to zombies stepping on a single tile

Red stinger is slightly better than repeater normally but you can use torchwood on repeater
