Sadly in PvZ1 not only does 25 sun meta makes him hard to afford in the early portion of levels but if you're just trying to beat the game normally instead of being one of the few people that speedruns it, its spammability is not relevant because you simply don't need it at all, you have a lot of better options in the slower paced PvZ1. However, recently when I played a new PvZ1 difficulty mod that spammed a lot of Football Zombies and such I found myself actually relying on Chomper spam to win even though the plant hasn't been changed at all.
It's actually why it SHOULDN'T. Chomper can be a fun interesting plant with uses, but the video basically says that it is average mid-tier at best compared to all the OP plants like seediums and is overshadowed (as usual with most plants in this game). Contrary to popular (shyguymask's) belief, it just isn't nearly as garbage as people think it is. Just because it has a long-ass swallow-time does not mean it's bad, the fast recharge and low-cost makes up for that
Chomper need some kind of rework, that makes him eat only the high hp target so that he just bite the low hp target below his bite damage to make him stronger in crowd/waves of zombies
Chomper is exactly what a plant in PVZ should be. An effect that seems incredibly simple on paper, but its simplicity leads to a lot of room for nuance and interpretation by the player, as opposed to a lot of plants who do a whole lot of things in an attempt to make up for none of what they're doing being that useful.
Chomper is only terrible in the way it's intended to be used. Although the issue here is that using him effectively does require some creativity and an understanding of the mechanics, which asks for more than most plants.
IMO Chompers eating time should scale w HP that was the only thing i never liked how does munching a 1 armed browncoat take aslong as a Bucket head or all stars i believe could be eaten to If lets say Browncoats w 1 arm are 5 sec w full health 8 sec and then so on it would be fine But thats my take on it just so far gotta watch the vid till the end

Interesting take! Chomper has definitely suffered the treatment most free Vanilla PvZ 2 plants got, by getting to be easily replaced by more efficient premium alternatives. And while you mention the eating time buff as a pro of this plant, let's just not forget that this is partly done in order to make the plant fit with the faster pace of the game. Overall, I think it's quite tricky balancing Chomper without making it an absolute beast or just another Spring Bean.
tbh chomper was my favorite plant in the pvz franchise. this was mainly cause there was another childhood thing, The Land Before Time, that had a t-rex that was purple and also named Chomper. the coincidence was too much for my child brain, and so i loved both of them. Overall though, i wish chomper was able to be bought with gems or seed packets, because i want him badly
When I started modding pvz1, I thought chomper sucked and buffed him to (iirc) 75 sun 50 sec eating, and quickly I realized that I was using him completely wrong. It made me reconsider chomper and an insta that recharges itself, which is pretty solid. Since then, for the past 2 years I've been a solid chomper enjoyer. BTW, that mod ended up settling with a 100 sun 60 second eat time chomper I think. It worked out pretty good for pvz1.
Finally someone that thinks, Chomper is good did you know that if Chomper eats a chicken regular or a weasel hoarder they won’t spawn the chickens or weasels
This has nothing to do with the video, but I VERY much appreciate you putting the song list in the description. More folks need to do that. Love the content!
Man, i didn't expect you will make a video about realible way to use chomper. I am happy this plan get some appreciation after being bullied from 2009 till now.
When I first went through modern day, I didn’t know the all-star Usain Bolted his way across the lawn. I also didn’t think Chomper could take him out in time. But he did. This was also the first time I saw chomper’s buff. Happiest Pvz2 player that day.
Kinda crazy that this is coming out just as I’m starting a chomper-only playthrough of PvZ1 (“chomper-only” as in I only kill zombies with them. I can still use sun producers and stalling plants)
@@gammaf1365 It was a lot easier than I'd expected. Since I can use puffshroom and sunflower spam, I could easily get enough sun to start spamming chompers. Funnily enough, the only times I was in a bit of trouble in the first 2/3 of the game was in the first few levels, especially in 3-Wave levels. This is because tankier zombies like cone and bucket heads can't spawn, so the game instead spawns tons of basic zombies. This would cause me to lose a few rows of chompers from not being able to keep up with the influx of zombies even when spamming chompers off cooldown, but ultimately it was still not _that_ bad. Fog levels were somewhat interesting since Chompers can't chomp Balloon zombies. The Cactus plant needs to be used as a single-use plant and dug immediately after it pops the balloon. While technically you can argue that popping them over the pool counts as killing them, I'm not patient enough to brute force the RNG to get no balloons over the pool. While most conveyer-belt levels obviously don't count since they can't get chompers, I did try to beat 5-5 (the bungee zombie level) without using the cherry bombs and it ultimately proved too much for me. Would be cool to see someone else figure out if it's really possible tho. Roof levels started out being pretty easy since nothing really counters Chomper and they can oneshot basketball zombies, but eventually I ran into my first Gargantuar. Gargantuars are unkillable by Chompers. There's no way to beat a level with a Gargantuar in it if you only kill things with Chompers. The compromise I made to make the run completable was to allow mowers to kill them. After I made that compromise, the game was relatively easy.
@@kreeperkiller4423 In most challenges, the lawn mowers are a requirement so it's not big deal. And if you aren't RCCH, no need waste your life save scumming for rng
THE ONLY niche chomper has in pvz1 is on laddering ( a practice where it makes imps climb the pumpkins instead of fixing the pumpkins) on survival roof levels (especially the endless version, which is only in the limbo page of the more ways to play). You cant spikeweed there so chomper does it. Yes he eats that machine whole
I love Chomper, is my favorite plant, I've use it on almost all my decks on PVZ1 and unfortunatly never use him in 2 because I was offended that they made me pay for my boy, besides of, ofcourse, being a jobless kid at the time. Perhaps I'll start PVZ2 again and buy it to wreck havok with Chomper in that game.
In pvz1 I get twin sunflowers down then spam chompers and it works because you can replace chompers that are eating, but you can use eating chompers as small walls
i always just use the chomper as a single target mine, basically just drop it to kill specific zombie and pull out, since the thing recharge so fast, i can keep spamming it without oding the cringe chomper defense line like 99% other players did
chomper although is pretty soild, is still outclassed by a lot of plants in pvz2 so its not used a lot. as soon as i heard the melody at 8:36 i knew i have heard it before. it's my first time watching your videos and i can't belive you used insaniquarium deluxe soundtrack
This is what I use unpowered nightshade for aswell, it’s a lot less effective then chomper but it’s cheap free to play option that can nearly insta kill a garg with a plant food (with a staller it can kill the garg on its own) The example I always use is greatest hits where garg spam is going to happen at some point 15 seconds into a level, it’s very nice that I have a cheap option to deal a massive amount of damage with a plant food (and even without plant food it’s very solid damage for the cost)
I used Chomper a LOT in PvZ 1, And the most problematic specials were the dancer and the jumping zombies. The rest chomper could handle just as well as any other plant.
@@petrikhorr i mean, why won't i use it instead of Chomper? I love him, but Electric Blueberry basically better cuz it can oneshot many zombies without limits.
I had a dream where someone was playing a pvz2 knockoff where it was plants vs plants which was weird. there was a plant that was like a jack-o-lantern, but an onion and the candle inside of it was melted to a stump and unlit. Every 30 seconds or so it would grow a new lit candle on top of the stump, and that candle would then jump out of it's mouth and run along the lane until it hit the first enemy. That enemy would burn down into ash and have a fire for about 4 seconds before reviving as a wax candle 'zombie' that looked like a bell pepper with a scary face and a lit candle on top that would have a ton of hitpoints, but move at an absolute crawl and be taking a small amount of damage over time. However, during the 4 seconds there was a fire, the first 2 enemies that touched it would take some amount of fixed damage and get a wax candle growth on the back of their heads dealing a large amount of damage over time (any further enemies would just take the fixed damage). Anyways that was my weird dream, I was probably just thinking of an enemy I saw in a mod or another game or something that I've otherwise forgotten about.
For pv1 (I use mobile edition) chopper can be very op because of the shovel. You see in pv1 chomper has a good recharge time like you stated time compared to other plants (I think about as fast as a peashooter if I remember correctly) because of this if you have a lot of sun (which is what I have most of the time) you can place a chomper to instantly eat a zombie like a buckethead, then immediately shovel it, then immediately , place another one. It is extremely overpowered if you play it like that.
I feel like pvz2 torchwood is a better "perm insta" as its just a wallnut chilipepper, pair him with explodonut and you get the bomb wall bros, plus torchwood is also 150 sun aswell as 5 secomd recharge, along with the fact you get him instantly after logging in 7 days? Easy win
I just got to PvZ2 and I found out that Chomper is now free (unlockable, got a stockpile of seed packets of Pay-locked plants). I wondered if the eating speed improved and boy it did indeed.
The one thing I constantly ask myself is why is chomper so well hated yes pvz 2 has more big zombies that are too big for him to eat but still he can eat Three zombies and he's spammable
You know looking at samen's mods where zombies have doubled and tripled health i started seeing the value of OHKO plants He is kinda like cabbage-pult where others do his job better but he still has purpose I appreciate the olive pit in the thumbnail too
Ok, Electronic Arts. Nah, I'm joking xd But the problem is that there are just so much better options. Bonk Choy, for example. He is practically a Chomper without cooldown
Just curious but do you think spore-shroom would work as a expensive heavy melee plant that obviously "plants" another in front of it when it kills a zombie?
Cool video. Have you ever thought about doing a video about Hypno-Shroom? Popcap really did that plant dirty. Not only is he crazy overpriced, but the flow of PvZ2 completely breaks him- almost no zombies that eat are worth hypnotizing. He's so bad I keep thinking he costs his old value of 75 Sun instead of 125.
In my opinion, I just think they need to make "Prime Chomper"😂 Apprantly, all prime plants are better than the original plants, they just cost a little more
But in actuality people don't consider how chomper can be spammable sometimes unreliable yes gimmicky but also very fast recharging in PvZ 1 a fast recharge is 7.5 seconds meanwhile in PVZ2 it's 5 therefore you can spam chompers and stall the early game
I’d love a pvz2 mod that gives all the plants for free immediately and let’s me screw around in endless with them, that’s all I wanna do, I’m tired of arena but that’s the only way to get new plants anymore
Chomper was a great plant in pvz2 since it does 2 bite even though its very awful in the arena still Chomper save your lane if zombies are swarming around and also a good counter for octo zombies and medusa zombies just put tile turnips and you can clear waves of zombies
Sadly in PvZ1 not only does 25 sun meta makes him hard to afford in the early portion of levels but if you're just trying to beat the game normally instead of being one of the few people that speedruns it, its spammability is not relevant because you simply don't need it at all, you have a lot of better options in the slower paced PvZ1.

The one thing I constantly ask myself is why is chomper so well hated yes pvz 2 has more big zombies that are too big for him to eat but still he can eat Three zombies and he's spammable
Starting to think this guy is paid by EA to promote the premium plants
FINALLY SOMEONE who likes and understands chomper
You know looking at samen's mods where zombies have doubled and tripled health i started seeing the value of OHKO plants
He is kinda like cabbage-pult where others do his job better but he still has purpose
I appreciate the olive pit in the thumbnail too
the ability to ignore zombie hp or most of it helps the viability of some plants greatly
@@andrewgreeb916 lobbing does that too tho, it ignores directional obstacles and armor (screendoor, excavator)
I have barely any idea of PVZ meta, but I love chomper and I think it's cool
soon creeps will have done a video on every single plant i think is bad and convinced me that its actually crazy strong
you didn't put here's why in the title, no views for you
2:13 we not talkin about ae mowers
Ok, Electronic Arts. Nah, I'm joking xd
But the problem is that there are just so much better options. Bonk Choy, for example. He is practically a Chomper without cooldown
More chomper love !!
People seem to hate him a lot :
THE MUSIC
How did pirahna plant from smash bros. get his own video?
I am waiting here for the 1 dollar chomper deal
Yay Chomper is usable!
Wow, I use Chompers effectively!
Just curious but do you think spore-shroom would work as a expensive heavy melee plant that obviously "plants" another in front of it when it kills a zombie?
Honestly in late game pvz 1 I use chomper as an insta that serves qs a wall as well
I USE TORCHWOOD AS A HIGH-RECHARGE, SEMI-SPAMMABLE COST-EFFECTIVE PLANT (I had like 200 packets for him randomly so he is 125 for me)
Cool video. Have you ever thought about doing a video about Hypno-Shroom? Popcap really did that plant dirty. Not only is he crazy overpriced, but the flow of PvZ2 completely breaks him- almost no zombies that eat are worth hypnotizing. He's so bad I keep thinking he costs his old value of 75 Sun instead of 125.
The only zombie that could be good are all star and knight. Also bully and fossil head. The is also bull can bull or any of the echo be hypnotized.
In my opinion, I just think they need to make "Prime Chomper"😂 Apprantly, all prime plants are better than the original plants, they just cost a little more
I like to use chomper as a backup plant
Chompy boi is goated
I didn't even watch the video because I already know
AYO THE RAIN CODE OST THO
But in actuality people don't consider how chomper can be spammable sometimes unreliable yes gimmicky but also very fast recharging in PvZ 1 a fast recharge is 7.5 seconds meanwhile in PVZ2 it's 5 therefore you can spam chompers and stall the early game

I’d love a pvz2 mod that gives all the plants for free immediately and let’s me screw around in endless with them, that’s all I wanna do, I’m tired of arena but that’s the only way to get new plants anymore
What's your thoughts on Snap Pea?
when solar sage?
Tumbleweed… my favorite…
Maybe modern PVZ2 Chomper isn't all that bad but on release... yeah I still think it sucks.
Gonna be honest idk what’s happening but I’m very interested
Chomper was a great plant in pvz2 since it does 2 bite even though its very awful in the arena still Chomper save your lane if zombies are swarming around and also a good counter for octo zombies and medusa zombies just put tile turnips and you can clear waves of zombies
chomper is good because he's a silly little guy
Chomper was always a good plant if you knew how to use it. I always just liked chomper in pvz1 I just wasn't able to buy it yet in pvz2
My favorite plant ever since the first PvZ
Good job.
Finally some one who doesnt call chomper mid
