Re: Upgrades Discussion: Kernel Corn!
Ever since the character was added to GW2, it's become one of my favorite plant characters, and that remains true in BfN.
Buttered Branches: This is an upgrade I really like. The ability to aim while not losing as much mobility is great.
Mob Cob: This upgrade is of course based on the GW2 variant, but unlike most of the others, it's lack of visual/audio indicators isn't as much of an issue due to how it works. Like the GW2 variant, it's better for PvE and especially Ops as the zombies tend to bunch up more in those modes/
Rapid Recob: Faster reload is a highly useful upgrade and is also common in GW2 of course. Reloading faster is simply a great bonus and well worth it.
Super Spin: Another decent upgrade although also better against AI as they often have less health than players. Great to build it up on little zombies and unleash on a boss in Ops.
20/10: While many veterans don't like butter beacon, I enjoy the tactical intel in provides so making it larger only makes me like it more. A solid upgrade.
Re-Corn-naissance: Being able to throw this more often is a big help both for your DPS and for the team in general. Another good upgrade.
Reaping Leap: Husk Hop is already one of the character's most powerful and feared abilities and this one is cheap to boot. Good stuff.
Hopscotch: Powerful as husk hop is already so good. Since you can steer it, the direct hit component is very effective.
Happy Feet: Limited as the travel time of shuck shot isn't generally all that long, although if your targets move and it has to go far before hitting a wall, it can certainly give you some speed for a long time.
Cornucopia: Another upgrade that is better against clumped AI, but is generally pretty effective. Firing these into a cluster of low level AI zombies can certainly bear fruit!
Shogun Guard: I feel it could still use another buff, but I have always liked it in spite of that. It feels like a variant and I do enjoy how it switches things up from the basic corn.
Reading this, I realize that I really like most of Corn's upgrades in BfN, but while one could argue that the husk hop upgrades take its best ability and makes it extreme, but overall these are some of the better upgrade sets in BfN.
