    Let me know if you guys liked this style of video, its definitely a bit different from what I normally do. What plant would you want to see the history of next if I make another video like this? (Or even make it a series...)
    I should also mention I would only cover the tower defense games, like in this video

    You're undermining Torchwood's usefulness in non-endless survival. Gatling Pea + Torchwood is a pretty easy way of beating Survival Hard and you can even use Split Pea in those setups to defend the backline better.

      True that. It's also useful in adventure 2 where you have it already unlocked, and it's pretty good in some of the minigames.

    One big balance change between 1 and 2 not mentioned is that in 1, fire peas did splash damage. If you had 10 zombies cramped in a single tiles all 10 zombies would get damaged (the main zombie to get hit got more damage and surrounding ones less but in waves it made a huge difference). In PvZ2 this was removed which made it easy to overwhelm with swarm.

    • @genio2509
      @genio2509 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +25

      To be exact: fire peas do 40 dmg, and the splash is 20 dmg in a 1*1 area behind the main target, the same as a regular pea. The splash is cancelled if it hits metal (door, ladder or zomboni).

    This video makes me wanna share my personal strat for arena. All you really need is Scaredy shroom, and tile turnip. I do recomend also getting a sun producer and a good defencive plant. For this strat to work, you need to make sure you have a consistant amount of plant food powerups, so if you can, use power lily with this set. All you do is set up 3 columns of scaredy shrooms in the first 3 rows, and save have a bit of sun left over to plant your tile turnips. you're gonna wanna plant 3 tile turnips on the 3 middle scaredy shrooms, and then apply a plant food powerup on the on directly in the middle, and then rinse and repeat. If you're in a zomboss fight, it about 25,000,000 points per round. Just make sure none of the scaredy shrooms on tile turnips don't get eaten, or the whole setup falls apart.

      yeah captain combustible and the card itself is SOOO unbalanced, gatling pea and torchwood is 8 damage with DOUBLE STRIKE for 8 sun, you can do that on turn 8. if its a chompzilla, combine that with the sun production and you could do gatling pea and torchwood on turn 5. and dont even get me started with captain combustible. people absolutely SPAM black-eyed peas making it impossible to play tricks (and im a professor brainstorm player so tricks are really effective for me), along with peashooter spam. that's only his mega-grow side. his kabloom side is just so unbalanced. poison oak, 6 sun, 4 strength, 5 health, and you wanna know one of the worst parts about poison oak? oh he has anti-hero FIVE, now usually for me, around turn 6 to late game, i run out of cards more often. so whenever i can only fill like 3 lanes, they put this down in the empty lane to deal NINE damage to my hero for SIX sun.. SIX?!?! but lets take a step back a bit, because what if you combine that with the 6 cost plant that damages the zombie hero for half their health. HALF. then they play a poison oak next turn and you can't do anything. then we've got cherry bomb, another 6 cost plant, except hes a trick that deals 4 damage, but its only in that lane right? wrong. ITS IN THE LANES BESIDE THE LANE IT WAS PLACED IN TOO. SPLASH DAMAGE EXISTS FOR A 4 DAMAGE TRICK?? and finally kernel corn, which might be one of the only balanced plant cards in the game, oh but there's two things about kernel corn, 8 cost plant, 6 strength, 6 health, but deals 4 damage to every zombie on the board. im just sick of how unbalanced this game is, whenever you're a zombie and you play something like a gargantuar and have this huge army, it just gets absolutely destroyed by the unbalanced plant cards. its like you almost have to pay for better zombie cards. and i dont wanna hear anyone replying with "zombies whine to much" "get good at the game" its not whining, its facts. get good at the game when you're playing unbalanced cards is crazy. oh speaking of that, im not gonna talk about him but my most hated plant in the game. MIRROR NUT. and yeah i spent like 30 minutes typing this whole thing out giving my opinions on a lot of unbalanced plant stuff in pvz heroes. thats about it.

    Great video! Just as an FYI;
    Certain zombies like excavator and jester do indeed counter appease mint strategies, but you can bring in other plants to counter these zombies. In particular, draftodil can stun jesters while they are spinning, allowing you to attack them. Of course, there are other plants you could use to just kill them before they would start reflecting projectiles

  • @Nhan6241
    @Nhan6241 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    This is a pet peeve of mine regarding torchwood in PvZ2 (and you somehow omitted it), that torchwood being premium plant felt so wrong was because that it was nerfed in 2. To be more specific, it was the splash ability (that you metioned) in PvZ1 that got removed in PvZ2, which made it purely a x2dmg multiplier for pea plants. I’d say giving pea shooters the ability to deal splash damage on top of the x2dmg is the reason why it is as good as it is in PvZ1, removing it is removing half of torchwood potential in PvZ2. Also, you did say that torchwood was perhaps weak against chicken wrangler, and well, I think maybe it wouldn’t be weak against that kind of zombie if torchwood also retains its splash ability.

    You didn't mentioned that before Mega Garling Pea and Pea Vine, he already has an OP combo with Peanut, Reinforce-mint and Blover as an option and for many it was the go to combo for Arena, Peanut at the back of Tourchwood might look silly but because its part of the Reinforcement family, its mint effect not just power up wallnuts, but also activate the plant food effect so they can have their armor, but because Peanut's gimmick is being a fusion of a Pea and a Nut, its plant food effect its shoot peas and grow a helmet, but a colume of them behind Tourchwood and it will clean the area when you plant the mint, and because Reinforce-mint push back zombies, you can use Blover to clean all the present zombies, even Gargantuars.
    So with this combo, you plant Blover, instantly plant Reinforcemint, the present Zombies get blown away, the Peanuts start shooting hundreds of peas powered by Tourchwood and all the upcoming Zombies will end up borning, use plant food to recharge Reinforcemint and no zombie will stand a chance.

  • @JoseViktor4099
    @JoseViktor4099 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    Torchwood is a sinergy plant, which imo its extremely interesting because on these last days its getting more rare to see this things, and its a shame, because it helps to introduce other plants more smoothly and adds complexity to a game without needing a plant that has 3 secondary abilities.
    Edit: A shame that It got buffed because acording to Modern PopCap a plant can't be good without having an only specific ability...

      It got buffed cause it sucked. Though after Pea Vine was introduced, it might not have needed the buff anymore.
