[IMPORTANT QUESTION]: Recommended Team Composition for Upcoming Boss Hunt

In my experience the best team comp of the yeti king is two sunflowers, vampire and/or stuffy, and two good players on either pea or corn.  I found the splash damage variants a help due to the insanity.  Default pea worked well for me, likewise commando corn.  Toxic citron might work well but his DPS is not so great and he's lousy for the popsicles.

Well,

I should have clarified this so that's my fault, but Toxic Citron Isn't for putting out damage he is more for defending Toxic Pea while he shoots the Popsicles. As a last resort Toxic Citron CAN attack the Popsicles BUT it isn't recommended. That's why I recommend two Vampire Flowers to make up for the damage lost from Toxic Citron. Because Vampire Flowers put out a lot of DPS and they are very accurate this is how I recommend using the characters during the Bait phase and Popsicle phase:

Bait Phase: all four players should go to the roof of the cabin located right next to the bait position (sunflowers should use there heal flowers to give them a boost to the top of the cabin) Citron can use his peel sheild to protect the other players, and he can use EMPeach to slow down Bosses and hordes of zombies. While Peashooter can use his Gatling mode and chili bean bomb to destroy zombies.

Popsicle Phase: Toxic Citron and Toxic Pea retreat to the roof of the bridge near the bait location, from here the Toxic Pea can shoot most of the popsicles on the map, while Toxic Citron defends Toxic Pea from the incoming enemies. The sunflowers during this phase wander around the map shooting the popsicles peashooter cant reach (make sure that both sunflowers have there heal beam on each other AT ALL TIMES avoid as much a possible going into the trench)

Abilities:

Toxic Citron: all default

Toxic Pea: all default except Chili Bean can be switched for Sombrero Bean. He can also switch Gatling for Retro Gatling for increased accuracy while shooting the popsicles from far away but at the same time losing DPS

Vampire Flower(s): can use any ability BUT avoid using Dark Flower (Heal Flower and Rainbow Flower are fine, Rainbow Flower is recommended for at least one sunflower because it constantly heals, thawing any players to pick up its sundrops)

By the way there is a video of germanshu playing topic citron in this boss hunt from the first time it came around.  Good strategies for team placement.  This is the one hunt I haven't finished on crazy yet.

I still haven't managed to beat the Yeti on crazy because something always went wrong. The best game i had we got him down to literally zero health, with only little HP left that is not even worth a bar.

But i can tell you a couple things and hopefully upload a video of me beating it on crazy.

First of all Toxic Citron is great with his splash and to keep the team safe during the rush phase. But he is useless when it comes to destroy the popsicles. Paired with a flower they should be able to destroy that one under the bridge though.

Next thing is the Vampire Flower. Don't use it. Her perk is useless against freeze and her HP is too low. 

Stuffy flower is the way to go, as her rainbow bursts spawn stars that nullify freeze.

And finally: go for splash. One character needs to secure the area while the others focus on the Yeti. If not, the team gets surrounded and overrun from behind.

And this is a no-brainer for experienced players but: never use any Chomper. Ever. Period.

In my opinion, the Best team will comprise of.....

Commando Corn

Base Pea Shooter

Stuffy Flower (2x) or

Vampire Flower.

Keep in mind, the 2 sunflowers MUST be High Ranking and know what they are doing.

To me, the Sunflower Duo has a harder task than the two DPS characters.  They will take the hits and on top of that, defend themselves PLUS top off team mates health, AND revive when needed.  That is a LOT of work.  So, its critical that your Sunflower players ARE really really exceptional good.  

They are the true Hero for this Boss Hunt.

I've beaten this on every level and with a  few different compositions but even on normal you need at least one sunflower and they should use the rainbow heal flower if possible. The regular healing flower is ok but the rainbow one spews the healing stars more often and it's vital to get constant heals to prevent the freezing from ruining your day. Definitely do not use the dark flower for this one!

Corn and Pea Shooters are great here as they can get on the roofs and have excellent vantage points to shoot the popsicles and they can avoid a lot of the freezing effects as well up there.

Stuffy and Vampire flowers are the best for sure. Stuffy's secondary effect from vanquishing zombies can heal and unfreeze allies and the vampire flower can heal herself although I don't think her life drain breaks freezing effects.

Torchwood has decent survivability and his flame breath attack can be handy vs. the groups of suicide yeti imps.

As posted above the sunflowers have a LOT of work to do and I ended up playing them a lot as I have all mine maxxed and have healed raids in MMOs before which is invaluable here as well.

Sometimes it's actually better to let a teammate fall and then rez them to full life instead of trying to heal them through nasty groups as a sunflower since you rez so quickly and they rez at full health! It sounds odd I know but sometimes it works out the best.

Something that hasn't been mentioned yet in this thread is the vital importance of getting rid of the yetis and disco zombies that spawn before trying to deal with the king's fool.  They will absolutely come back to bite you in the rear later.

A major complaint I read about this hunt is the king's fool spawning far away from the yeti king.  The fool can be kited closer to the yeti king. G et a few shots in on him and he will follow you.

My apologies for taking this thread adrift from its initial focus on team composition.

I play with Iron Citron, he's great killing zombies and survive but he's struggle with popsicle. His hit has 50 damage, I don't understand why the popsicle doesn't get destroy quickly. I've 2 reload upgrade, but still struggling with it.

The one I realize, popsicle spinning around and the popsicle only get damage when facing you. Otherwise the hit doesn't do damage. But this is not happening for other characters such as corn. Not sure why there's such different treatment ?? or is it a defect ?

Germanshu show best place to knock down ALMOST all popsicles from 1 place !!!    :  The roof top of bridge near the spawning place.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=juqM6FYsNNw    (go to 20:10 )

He basically did all the work and electric citron DPS (combination with fast finger) is really good, just need one reload.

So either Corn or Citron, can attack from this place. Just watch for artic trooper who love to shoot and freeze you up there.

1.  If you're citron, turn your shield up.

2. If you're corn, ask one of the sun flower to stand by under the bridge and heal you up while fully protected from the elements.

This way, knock down popsicle is a piece of cake. Brilliant trick, right ?

Almost perfect, except one popsicle is hiding on top of the car (far left side of the 2nd picture, near the zombie gnome bomb place) and one is on the far right...for these two, a pair need to go there in the beginning or middle of popsicle round....the time should be sufficient....just watch out for yeti and disco guy.

I'm mentally not ready for this Boss Hunt. This one is by far the most hardest boss hunt and from last week's Super Mix Mode with Knock Back, I am feeling super discouraged.

Those tips are really helpful. I agree, 2 sunflowers and pea with splash damage and a corn.
