How to counter Imp (and his mechs)
From what I've seen, the general player base would like to see Imps and mechs get a nerf, however Imp seems very volatile when i come to changes to his class, so i thought it would be better to try and teach you how to beat him.
Beating IMP
Overall themes: Damage over time,slowing/freezing,splash damage, you're reflexes
Peashooter: Use your large splash damage, unless you are agent pea then it becomes who can hit who first, try to out-juke him with hyper.
Sunflower: Variant wise, fire flower and alien flower deal with imp relatively easily, sunflower somehow hits imp more easily than corn, potted dark flower.
Cactus: zen, petrified, future, electric again are best if you want to deal with imp (in order of ease) If the imp is foolish enough to stop moving for even a second, cactus gets so much better at killing them.
Chomper: basically whoever uses their slot 1 ability first usually wins, however if none have it then its all a matter of range, therefore spray and belch chompers are much better.(with the exception of armor chomper) burrow works only if 1 they don't see you coming or 2 you are where they land. if imp gets caught in spikeweed, they're a dead man walking,
Citron: getting a hit on imp with your laser (or charger) will utterly melt their health, this is what you save your EMPeach for, Citron ball takes out 2/3 his health, and peel shield works wonders.
Kernel Corn: BBQ corn is a death sentence to imps, the other variants not so much. husk hop even if it only grazes an imp does massive damage,the 3 other abilities have the same effect but are much harder to hit.
Rose: all roses worked well on the imp from the get-go, weak homing shots, arcane enigma leaves imps with 15 health, goatify not only makes him less jumpy but doubles hitbox, and time snare, is time snare.
Dealing with mechs
This section will be different, I will be listing ability combos, the goal is either prevent them from using explosive escape or killing them outright
Goop+citron - chomper goops, then citron using EMPeach, and if they are frosty citron, even better. Basically renders their mech a death trap.
sunflower and peashooter's ability 2 slot- solar flare/beam and gatling literally melt a mechs health even if they can't get headshots.
Any of corn's abilities- all of them ignore mech armor, corn is almost capable of 1v1ing a mech
garlic drone- large head hitboxes are fun!
Ice variants

Please leave a comment on how I did, for this is my firs time doing a guide like this. Hope I helped 🤓
