PvZ2: new plant ideas (including chinese upgrades)
In PvZ, I am not new. I played since day one! I'd like to say thank you EA for your hard work and dedication for making a series of awesome games! (Even the chinese exclusive ones). As one of many ways of saying thanks, I'd like to share some plant ideas! Just incase it get's harder to come up with something original, yet balanced! And without further or due, let's begin!
returning plants:
gatling pea: gatling pea was my 3rd favorite plant (the first 2 being cob cannon and winter melon). Gatling pea was amazing, and favored by many... until pea pod showed up. There really was no use for gatling pea after he showed up... Unless his characteristics changed! Instead of him firing 4 peas at a time in one lane, I think he should fire 1 pea every .20 secconds at the strongest zombie on screen until vanquish! It doesn't matter where they are, they are still being attacked! His sun cost would be 450 (for firing fast and multi-lane) with a fast recharge rate. His plantfood ability allows him to instakill 5 of the highest health zombies with a barrage of peas! China upgrades: lvl2: crank it up!, fires 6 pea per seccond instead of 5. Health and damage is increased by 50%. Lvl3: full piston overclock, fires 8 peas per second instead of 6! Health and damage increased by 50%. Lvl4: ability awakened, has a chance to perform plantfood ability when placed! Health and damage increased by 50%. Costume: instakills 10 zombies instead of 5.
expresso bean (coffee bean): coffee bean made a return in china, but only cured plant from being paralyzed... That is why the name changed... Expresso bean makes a plant's attack rate doubled for the rest of the match! If it is a cooldown plant, the cooldown is halved! Very good on sunflowers, and gatling pea! Costs 250 sun (huge jump, but it needs to be balanced, right?) with a sluggish recharge rate. If a plant uses plantfood, the expresso effect wears off! There are really no upgrades, despite the fact it is an instant use plant. Costume: when a plant uses it's plantfood ability, the effect will not be removed!
new plants:
sabatoulip: the tulip who loves to mess with zombies! LOBBING out balls of pollen straight from the bulb! She targets the nearest special zombie, anywhere on the screen! Attack rate of a peashooter, damage of a snapdragon, she is quite deadly if used correctly! When I mean special zombies, I mean troglobite, wizard, jester, king, torch handlers, canons, ect. (Gargantraurs are NOT a priority!). When no special zombies are seen, she will attack the nearest zombie. She costs 300 sun and has a slow recharge rate. Her plantfood ability allows her to lob big balls of pollen to every special zombie with massive damage! China upgrades: lvl2: pure bred, ginetics allow her to fire 1.25x as fast! Health and damage increase by 50%. Lvl3: hardcore training, allows her to fire 1.5x as fast! Health and damage is increased by 50%. Lvl4: ability awakened, has a chance to perform plantfood ability when placed. Costume: overheated pollen balls lob out, instakilling all special zombies, regardless of level!!!
shadow flower: a flower who has the guts to fight zombies! She produces 50 sun (including china) as well as firing dark beams at zombies, same properties as a peashooter! She costs 175 sun, with a fast recharge rate. Her plantfood ability allows her to become a singularity flower, sucking in 10 of the nearest zombies (regardless of level), and converting each of them into 25 sun! Quite dark, isn't she? China Upgrades: lvl2: denser beams, her beams peirce through one zombie and attacks another! Health and damage is increased by 50%. Lvl3: even denser beams, her beams go through 2 zombies, to attack another (much like cactus), health and damage increased by 50%. Lvl4: ability awakened, has a chance of performing her plantfood ability once placed. Health and damage increased by 50%. Costume: while sucking in zombies, she stuns all zombies on screen!
Acidtrus: a lemon-head who knows how to dissolve armor! He has an attack very similar to snapdragon, but different in other ways. He sprays lemon extract at zombies, dealing massive damage to armor, but very light damage to the zombie itself. Very strong against machines from far future, and can be placed in water! He costs 200 sun, with a fast recharge rate! His plantfood allows him to spray a tidal wave of lemon extract in a 3 tile by end of screen, completely ripping zombies of their armor, and instakilling robots (dr zomboss will be stunned). China upgrades: lvl2: more pressure, the pressure of each spray allows the lemon extract to reach one tile farther! Health and damage is increased by 50%. Lvl3: lime conversion, the effectiveness against unarmored zombies is increased. Fires lime green spray. Health and damage is increased by 50%. Lvl4: ability awakened, has a chance to perform his plantfood ability upon placement. Health and damage is increased by 50%. Costume: electrifying lemon (or lime) extract tidal wave stuns any zombie still living after being hit.
So... What do you think?
