The plants do seem to have the advantage overall.

Chili Bomb - capable of multiple kills

Mine - instant kill for one target

Spike Weed - temporarily incapacitates a player as well as damages them for 50 points

2 Cactus variants that can one hit kill with a charged shot.

Chomper which is instant kill on swallow.

Is there a sunflower variant which can one hit kill on a fully charged shot, also?

Are there any zombies that can one hit kill someone aside from an imp punt or ZPM? 

All Star's tackle does high damage, but I've always had full health plants survive afterwards.

It would be nice to have a chart that breaks down damage per shot for each character and include some kind of fire rate (low/med/high).


Camo Cactus only does 88 when upgraded, not quite a oneshot.

Mystic Flower does not oneshot, even when fully charged, not to mention her only advantage is being able to heal.


I've been one shot by a camo cactus while at full health. It may have been a headshot, which may make the difference. As far as I know, none of the zombies can one shot with their primary weapon.

The Sunflower, in general, is really weak. It's the one class I dread using and generally use most of my skip challenges to level up so I can use classes which are more offensive. I avoid using sunflower for anything except garden ops... it's that unlikeable.

Sunbeam and gatling gun are two abilities that I will rarely, if ever, use. I'd much rather be mobile than be anchored to one spot. The deployable flower pot for the sunflower was a nice addition, but it's severely underpowered... just like the sunflower itself.

  • Camo Cactus Headshots have never done more than 88 for headshot with the upgrade.

    As I have stated, I have died from one shot from a camo cactus... while at full health. It has happened more than once.

    I'm a regular camo cactus user and I've never done more than 88 damage for a headshot and 44 for a body shot, if there is a way to do more damage I'd love to hear it.

    I wonder if the target character type has any effect on damage. I think I recall doing 92 or 94 damage against an All Star. Still not 100 or a one shot kill... but more than 88.

    I agree with Crimson; I have never done more than 88 damage using the camo shot and I should know because I use him most of the time I play as plants. Unless there is some way to do some kind of elemental effect that makes you do more damage, I don't see any way to get a critical that's higher than 88.
