Re: Any tips for playing as Chomper?

I think I'm one of the only ones that likes the new chomper. I love that goop is now an area denial weapon that can damage a bunch of zombies and even though the 1 point tick it causes after they leave the goop is minor, it keeps them from regenerating and while in it they can't use their abilities. You could hit more than 1 zombie with goop in GW 1 and 2 but it was a single target focused weapon.

I also like that when trying to bite someone I don't accidentally swallow them, leaving me vulnerable and becoming an involuntary 'suicide chomper'. The increased bite damage with the ttk patch helps with this. The ability to spit is useful too. All too often, especially in GW1 and with zombie foot soldiers, zombies would just go to high ground and be virtually immune to you. I would occasionally switch to chomp cannon in GW2 to mess with expectations, but in GW you were largely a melee/assassin character. In BfN, you can help support from a distance. 

Before the TTK patch I even got vanquish master on chomper in BfN and while I have been there and seen that in GW1 and 2, it was pretty rare. Most chompers I saw either got constant 1:1 vanquish streaks, or hung back at the point with their spikeweeds. 

Not saying Chomper is perfect in BfN but I've found them pretty useful. I do wish spikeweed was more precise with placement though.

I had most kills on chomp in gw2 to all other classes 10k+, especially hotrod chomp he was a engine reving ninja chomp of death,  his speciality was flank/anti flank, wasn't made to take on front line, he was made to flank, around bulk of enemy team hide behind objects etc and pick off enemies trying to flank back or range chars get in behind them or just zombies that wandered from their flock lol standard blue goop was a must in case you did have more than one zombie to face, goop swallow from behind and goops cool down was ready the second chomp swallowed to fire again, Think I used any speed upgrades and faster swallow time with hotrod and I had a great time running flanks or waiting to ambush. 

There always came times fighting for point or whatever had to risk suicide so I tried pick most valuable target, be scientist healing or who ever seem to be doing most damage. 

Video I saved of my hotrod chomp few years back

But bfn even with hotrod upgrade he just feels big and clunky and TT maps don't feel as big or atleast wide so getting spotted trying run flanks seems alot easier, new skill set to me is just yea nar pass I tried it, I hate it I'll play a different plant. 

I think Spikeweed needs some love in BfN. It's just not that effective in this game compared to GW1 and 2 (I miss GW1's animation as it was the funniest). I love that it can fired at range and glad it got a timer to activate as it was heavily abused in GW2 with the instant activation, but it's just not that hot in BfN. It's hard to land it where you want at range, too easy to destroy, and lacks the synergy it had with chomping zombies from behind that it had in GW1 and 2. 

I'm pretty happy with the rest of Chomper's kit here, but spikeweed is lacking.
