Alien Sunflower question

Can someone tell me how she is suppose to work?  Sometimes I shoot the ground and the spores do a small amount of AOE damage.  Sometimes they do not.  Everytime I shoot a zombie it does some initial damage and the sometimes it does a small bit of AOE damage and sometimes it does not.  How is this class suppose to work and what am I doing wrong?

    You're doing nothing wrong. The truth is that Alien flower needed:

    - more ammo

    - more fira rate

    - less damaging bullets

    Anyway the cloud size and duration is pretty meh before upgrades, so unlock upgrades first.

    Besides that, never shoot at people feet (or if you do, you must hit them and not the ground) as she deals more damage with direct hits compared to clouds. So be accurate and try take direct hits.

    Anyway, Alien flower even after the buff seems the only flower in weak spot. I suggest you to play her only in herbaul assault or suburbination and just for crowd controlling objectives..

    (which anyway Electro Flower seems do the same but better..)

    The reason you don't want to focus so much on direct hits is because 1. once you miss, you miss on spore damage as well and 2. direct hits release the spore and the target will keep moving around you avoiding the spore damage.

    Shooting at the ground will make the target chase you down. Stay in your spore and then focus on direct hits.

    Again,if you aim in his feet correctly,you should at least still get the spore splash if you miss.

    It fine to spam the spore splash if you can't get a direct hit, if you want to scare off/kill a low hp zombie or just to maximise your damage output in a group of zombie. But if you have the opportunity to go for direct hit,then just do it hue.

    I find the Spore clouds are really good at dealing with Outhouse and Coffin Zombies. Just aim at their feet, and watch their armor erode away.

    @Boolerex Does alien flower spore have splash damage? They do the same damage as direct hits? I'm not noticing anything of that..
