Re: HINTS AND TIPS

If using shine vine and you want a big burst of sun in arena wait 30 seconds before hitting 'let's rock', doing this gives me 10x big suns using 10x level 5 shine vines, hitting 'reload' then 'let's rock' straightaway gave me just 2x big suns.


Putting on turbo mode will reduce the time you have to wait before hitting let's rock (x1.5 speed).

    As it's escape root week I've been playing with it and i found that if you want it to arm quicker if you change an already armed escape root with the just planted escape root once they swap they will both be armed.

    I also found that if i tried swapping a vined plant then just the inside plant would move.

    I experimented with Vine plants released so far, and none of them seems to be swap-able by Escape Root. Not sure if it's a bug or intended by design. Escape Root treats them as if they don't exist 😢

    Anyway, I think someone has mentioned it before (maybe on reddit), but I find swiping/dragging the Escape Root to its targeted plant is easier than tapping ER and then the plant. I find the latter can possibly make the swapping somewhat buggy, and ER also has some animation timing that can mess with the tappings.

    I use the dragging method as I found out sometimes I manage to get it to swap back onto itself (may be it interpret my single tap as a double tap?).  

    I too have experienced it sometimes failed to transpose and stuck halfway causing the target plant to disappear and Escape Root remains at it place, when this happens, if I dig up ER, I do get the target plant back.  Be warned that if the target plant is an endangered plant you need to save, then you should only dig up ER if the target plant is free from danger or it will get eaten/destroyed when it re-appears. (Yep I have this happened to me a few times so I have now learnt to use it to my advantage, kind of cheating or 'chicken' by hiding the endanger plants away from harm 👿 )

    I think I am in a similar boat:

    @HenryThePear   Yes, this is what I (and possibly quite a few players) experienced as well.  

    It is buggy but since not many players are using it and making complaints so my guess is EA would not have it as high priority on their fixing list.
