Snapdragon seems kinda bad?

I have to spam all abilities just to get a vanquish. Yes, this character is very weak and it needs a buff. I really hope it happens because this character has so much potential.

Ya he's pretty bad.. The worst thing is having to flame spray someone that's at 1hp and it doesn't finish them. I like the crystal dragon skin, but i'll probably never play the character again until they figure out how to make him more reliable at  confirming a vanquish.

I don't know how he is in PVP as I don't really PVP much, but he is pretty good in PVE.  When I do garden ops or any PVE areas he absolutely wrecks NPCs.  

Nearly entire plants team is bad imo, except maybe pea and acorn, not sure about cactus not a big sniper player, prefer play front line or flanks. Find myself in pvp sitting at char select screen depressed and frustrated with the selection, never had that feeling playing gw2 pvp. 

I'd really would have liked the snapdragon to look more like the 2d version in PvZ 2 by the way. Something's off about it now

Im quite the opposite. With the right upgrades, he can be really good.

Snappy is my first character i got to master, and i have done really good with him.

Blue blazes can 1 shot (or critically injure) a lot of zombies, and it locks on. Use it from any range. I enjoy using it in stressful situations, kinda like the soldiers ZPG.

The Blazing trail id useful for chokepoints, you can stand on the side, use it, and wsll off an entire path with it... also, firing it directly at people can do heavy dmg if they forget to run. It can also obstruct vision!

His Swoop slam can also do loads of damage with a direct hit, or it can be used to get him around. Use this ability to start or finish a fight. It has huge finisher potential. It also does decent knockback... Throw'em in the cheese!

His ADS attack is useful for the longer ramge shots, or against drones, and with good splash damage and explosive damage, you can hit those pirates who hide behind corners.

But his real strength is from his primary attack. Multivanquishes left and right, Snappy's a melee character for sure. Keep scorching them till you overheat, then use swoop slam or blue blazes to hold off till you can use the primary...

I think Snapdragons fine!

Me too. I was actually playing the Crystal Dragon and getting beat  1 v 1 with just about everyone at close range.

I was in the same mindstate that he was weak, but after seeing the lead gameplay designer play him on a stream, I realized what his playstyle is. It's essentially like chomper but with more AOE potential. I wouldn't advise running headfirst at a group, just like with chomper, but do some range first. I tend to start with blue blazes, if it hits, that's half my work down. I dash into them, should kill if direct hit or very close. If not, just fire breath them. Basically play cautiously like you would with a chomper, then charge in for the kill.

Snapdragon's cool down time is waaay too long. Also, if zombies can see through foot solider's stink bomb, why can't plant see through Snapdragon's blaze trail?!?!?
