Character Balancing v2, targeted to Citron users.

Character Balancing v2, by a different person.

I feel like some characters need a bit more balancing.

Imp:

Pylon Imp:

Ammo increased to 18 (from 16) {EDIT: These buffs do not count as Pylon Imp does not get an ammo upgrade.}

Ammo upgrade increased ammo to 24 (from 22)

Deadbeard:

Captain Deadbeard:

Damage decreased on Sniper Shot (22-20) (24-22) {Take these with a grain of salt. I rethought them, and I realized the Deadbeard classes apart from Sharkbite need a nerf.}

Captain Sharkbite:

Ammo in Shotgun takes 2 ammo

Shotgun damage increased (18-26)

Captain Flameface:

Damage decreased on Sniper Shot (20-18)

Fire damage decreased (4-3)

Super Brainz:

Super Guided Ultra Ball: Damage decreased (125-100)

Projectile moves quicker.

Super Multi Ball:

Direct hit damage increased (35-40)

Plants:

Corn:

BBQ Corn:

Fire damage decreased (4-3) {EDIT: Rethought BBQ Corn and stock Corn nerfs as well.}

Kernel Corn:

Magazine decreased (45-40)

Party Corn:

Magazine increased (35-40)

Damage decreased (7-6-5-4 - 6-5-4-3)

Rose:


Party Rose:

Damage increased (4-5 - 5-6)

Magazine increased (20-25)

Default Rose:

Damage decreased (7-8-9 - 6-7-8)

Citron (Here we go.):

All:

Health decreased to 175. {EDIT: Do not count this health nerf as Felipe said the Citron are the All-Star plant variant. 🙂}

Frozen Citron:

Damage decreased (6-7-8 - 5-6-7)

Overheat penalty time increased

Default Citron:

Damage decreased (7-8-9 - 6-7-8)

Torchwood:

Health decreased (275 - 265)

Flamethrower damage decreased (15-10)

Final balance change.

Chemist:

Damage increased (35-40)

Ammo increased (6-7)

Ammo upgrade increases ammo (7-8)

Notes:

Citron nerfs. Oh boy, I had fun writing those. The citrons are the most broken characters in the game. Almost 95 percent of all deaths in the entire game are due to those damn oranges. They need a health decrease.

As for the torchwood, I felt like he's a little too tanky and could receive a nerf to their flamethrower attack (Blazin' Blast).

Rose has seen many nerfs, but to this day almost 90% of scumbag default Rose users murder my face instantly. I felt like her damage was a little too high and might give Druid Rose a new spotlight.

The Pylon Imp has seen many nerfs, and I felt like it was time to give him some not-so-bright sunshine. I decided to have an ammo increase on him because I felt like nowadays it takes a little more than 16 or 22 ammo to vanquish an opponent as this character.

As for the Deadbeard class, again, I had fun writing these. I felt like Sharkbite was a little too powerful and the standard Deadbeard was a little too powerful as well. I decided to nerf their weapons because they do a little too much in terms of damage output.

As for the Frozen Citron, while this guy did receive like 3 or 4 nerfs, is still really powerful. His beam can drop foes really fast and I felt like he deserved another nerf.

And finally, the Chemist. This guy is really fun to play as, but requires a lot of skill. Up close, the Marine Biologist does as much damage as the Chemist, AND the Marine Biologist has range. The Chemist deserved a buff at this point.

I hope PopCap considers my list and maybe some of these features will be added into the game! Comment what you think! 🙂
