PVZ 3 idea from a fan #1
an idea I had is for zombies to have an elite form and some zombies have a veteran form which gives zombie a little bit more health and new and/or improved abilities (mainly to balance out plants having abilities and for zombies to not have way too much health) but they can only spawn in later flags of the levels and really strong zombies only have an elite form
Elites spawn after the second flag strong elites and veterans can spawn after the fourth flag
examples
elite conehead zombie gains the ability to heal zombies in a 3x3 area for 3 seconds when his cone falls off and veteran conehead gives that ability for 6 seconds instead of 3
elite bowling zombie: can target plants in other lanes
veteran bowling zombie: throws 2 bowling balls instead of 1 when above 50% health
elite gargantuar gains the ability to crush plants in a 3x1 area but since gargs are a strong zombie it doesn't have a veteran form
I know this is very unlikely to happen but I enjoy goofy wacky mechanics like this instead of zombies have 20x more health
