Tier list for characters (OPINIONS)

In your opinion what is the current tier list for both sides?

Plants:

SS - Night Cap

S - Acorn, Sunflower

A - Peashooter, Chomper, Cactus

B - Citron, Corn, Rose

C - Snapdragon

Zombies

S - Enigneer, 80's Action hero

A - Super Brains, Scientist, Electric Slide, IMP

B -  Captain Deadbeard

C - Foot Solider, All Star, Space Cadet

Again, this is opinion and some of these characters I don't play and just putting them where I think they belong for seeing others in my game.

Also not sure if some of these characters get better at higher levels once more perks are unlocked.

  • S: Action Hero, Nightcap, Super Brainz.

    Nightcap is just broken, Action Hero doesn't have a direct counter, and S.Brainz counters all of the plant meta. A notable mention is Chomper, but Chomper has been reworked so much that nobody can play him like the S he can be because they are treating him like his old GW1/GW2 self.

    A: Chomper, Scientist, Engineer, Peashooter.

    Scientist has a potent shotgun and powerful heal abilities. Engineer has a strong turret and damaging primary, peashooter can deal massive burst damage. A notable mention is Deadbeard. A player good at maneuvering with his anchor and barrel can play him like an A.

    B: Deadbeard, Acorn, Snapdragon, E.Slide.

    The oak has massive power, but is a slow and big target. Snapdragon does good damage but he has ineffective range. E.Slide has good abilities, but lacks power in her primary weapon. B and C are pretty close in power. I considered all of them.

    C: Space Cadet, Sunflower, All-Star, Cactus.

    The space station is powerful if you stack, but the Cadet's reload makes her useless otherwise. Sunflower is an excellent healer, but she has no firepower. All-Star has excellent shielding, but also has low firepower. Cactus is powerful, but only if nobody aims for you. I considered Rose for her extraordinary utility, but she has somehow less firepower than Sunflower.

    D: Citron, Rose, Foot Soldier.

    Citron is another character with poor firepower. The only reason Citron made it out of F is because of his large shield. Foot Soldier can hold his own in a fight, but stands no chance if his enemy has allies.

    F: Imp, Corn. 

    Imp can't do damage. His primary fire sprays everywhere and never hits. His impkata does close to no damage. Gravity Grenade is tiny, and I won't even start on his mech, for anything it ever did was when it was in the exact right place in the exact right time. Corn is trash. His cob busters have all of the imp blaster's problems. Husk hop does nothing. Tactical butter does only recon, no other utility, not even damage. And shuck shot is impossible to hit, and only does 55 if you somehow land it.

    Those are my opinions. I can see shifts around B-D, but I have strong beliefs that the S-A and D-F characters all belong in their ranges.

  • @Gowron248 Chomper is definitely f tier, his goop does little damage and doesnt paralize people, spikeweed sucks, you cant eat people from behind, and burrow sucks now that people only have to sprint away from you
  • @marche567 Do you consider 35 low damage? That is what goop does to all zombies in the blast radius when the cloud appears. It also has a following effect similar to stink cloud, except it disables abilities.
  • @marche567 You forget that it does upwards to 20 poison damage, which equates a single corn shuck. And it has a massive area of effect. I should know. I main chomper and I have gotten large multivanquishes. Also spikeweed has a larger hitbox, making it easier to surprise and trap people with. Also, chomper's burrow is faster than any sprint. Burrow is based on your own sprint speed, and gains a percentage increase.

    @CRAAAZZYChomper I agree with what you said, as I also main Chomper and learned how to play him differently than how one would play him in GW2. Since burrow is his only escape, you have to think more and play more carefully and stealthily than nightcap which has two abilities of complete invisibility. I can burrow to the back lines and take out the zombie in the back that doesn’t see me and then goop and take out the other zombie
