Some ideas for rescuing plants

 

Based on what we already know about future content, how can there be inconsistent formulas that result in specific plants? This is a genuine question, among many that have come to mind in recent months, since it seemed more reasonable that there would be some kind of base plant inspired by something closer to those iconic plants from the classic series so that things like this would happen more naturally! But most are okay, they seem to follow a kind of logic... I guess. 🥀

 

Since then, I've considered several replacement options in the comments I've posted, and I confess that some of them may not be so good, since not everything seems replaceable by something that already exists. But just as you persevered until you got it right, I intend to continue suggesting my ideas. 👀

 

 

 • 🌿🍉🍎🍐 Splash Damage 🍐🍎🍉🌿

📂📌 What comes to mind most when I think about this ability are fruits like watermelon, jackfruit and even something like a tomato; a base plant inspired by them could cause splash damage that would leave a sticky residue. 

 

• ☁️🍃💨🏵️ Gas Cloud 🏵️💨🍃☁️

📂📌 Stallia would be the best option; perhaps it could gain an extra layer of ability in its higher tiers, such as creating clouds that take a long time to dissipate, like a Noctarine.

 

• 🌿🍄🧅 Bouncing Projectiles 🧅🍄🌿

📂📌 So, I see that the best base for this type of ability would be to create a new plant inspired by Frizzle Sizzle, which would work very well as a base because it has natural leaf characteristics that resemble springs and also a bulb. This seems quite interesting, since it resembles two plants that exist in PvZ 2, Bowling Bulb and Spring Bean, which share similar abilities, something that could be used in fusions that would inherit abilities that can make projectiles be deflected and bounced in other directions.

 

• 🎉🫟🪅 Zone Controller 🪅🫟🎉

📂📌 Projectile dispersal isn't a very explored ability in PvZ, at least I see it more frequently in some mods where certain plants don't follow a linear firing/throwing pattern. But, for me, that's one of the things that differentiates it in terms of ability; it would be cool to see more of that in PvZ 3, using Pomegranate as a base, considering that one of the best examples we have of it is one of the plants from the Chinese version that fires projectiles in a cone-shaped area, dealing more damage when a target is nearby, like Pam does in Brawl Stars.

📂📌 The base plant's abilities could be similar to those of Bombegranate, but focused exclusively on dispersing the projectile when it falls.

 

I'll continue with the second part soon. 😶‍🌫️

     🌿🌺🔥🐉 Dragons 🐉🔥🌺🌿

     

    Snapdragon should have a replacement that doesn't involve an element. That doesn't mean it should be completely forgotten! I just think it would be good to have at least a basic option so that there's consistency for dragon variants like those that exist throughout the franchise!

     

    📌📂 A second option would be to seek inspiration from something similar to the Dark Matter Dragon Fruit from PvZ Heroes, as it perfectly matches the dragon theme, both in appearance and references.

     

    📌📂 Snapdragon attacks zombies by spitting flames in a 3x2 area, normally, most variants have that area of effect. But I think he needs something more in his skill set, maybe flying? Dragons do that, so that sounds good to me.

     

    📌📂 Alternatively, you could fuse a tier 1 Cattail and a Chomper until they formed something that reasonably resembled a grass dragon, but gained the bonus ability to bite zombies when it felt threatened.

     

    🌿🧈🍿🌽 Corn and butter 🌽 🍿🧈🌿

     

    Kernel-pult is one of the most iconic and recognizable plants in the franchise because of a peculiar mechanic... butter! Although there's already a possible base plant, Buttercup, however, it does not possess characteristics similar to corn.

    That doesn't seem like a great reason to look for a substitute, right? It isn't. But think about how naturally tough it already is and the fact that it leaves butter on the floor, which, in my opinion, makes more sense as a good combination for a fusion with Walnut.

     

    📌📂 An example: imagine something inspired by the Cornfetti Popper from PvZ 2, but with a more regular appearance, with common corn kernels and lots of butter! Its abilities could involve shooting butter, but it would have a slow reload and be a manual-type plant.

    📌📂 This would give Kernel-pult and Cob Cannon more accessible ways to create variants without needing to reach such high tiers, as well as increasing the use of certain plants that could now drop butter whenever you wanted.
