Exactly as stated. Which Zombie character is best at multiplayer or would you recommend? We've already known how OP the Plants are and I'm not going to go there. Thing is, I've tried hard to like the Zombie characters. I've tried each and every character and their special abilities, but none seem to interest me. Is it because the Plants are too OP?So far, the only Zombie I've been able to get a consistent kill with is the Super Hero Zombie. His abilities are the only useful ones in my opinion. The rest of the Zombies just doesn't really do that much of a significant damage nor their abilities are to any advantage. Imp was fun to play with in the Beta, but really UP now. So we're really left with no choice.And why are Zombies movements super slow? Is it just me, or do they move really slow compared to Plants? And Plants seems to do much more damage points. When comparing the Pea Plant which does a damage of 35 direct hit, and 10 indirect hit, I was not able to find a Zombie that can do the same amount of damage in long range attack. The most damage I've been able to do in long range attack for any Zombie is 20 damage points for direct hit and less for indirect. I understand that the game is unbalanced as of now, but not just because of Rose being OP and Imp being UP, but the rest of the Zombies are UP in my opinion.I would recommend bringing back the Beta damage stats. People complain about the Imp being too strong, but I think it's perfectly fine. I do get annoy by his special abilities, but he's easily killed in the Beta. I had no problem dealing with Imp. Only time he could kill me in the Beta is if he snuck behind me, which is the same as if any other snuck behind me. I'd rather this than a team full of Rose sniping across the map.

As of now, the only counter I've found is using variant scientists against the herd of Roses.Captain Deadbeard is a good long rage option against the Rose. Haven't tried the Camo Ranger, I'll give that a try and see how it works. That's about it, everything else gets lit up like a christmas tree by all the fire and forget Thistle spam.

Super Brainz is by far my favorite. Right now I really dig Electro Brainz due to his regular punch arcing, I don't have to get a direct hit on an enemy player with it, as long as they are close, they take damage. What I do is aim for great placement, I like flanking the Rose/pea shooter combos, running up and spinning in them, if they don't goat or slow me, then as soon as I'm done spinning I jump and super ball one or more of them and kick into one on my way down, if I'm still alive, which I usually am do to moving a LOT and forcing them to scatter like the pesky bugs they are, I then start punching my butt off. Generally, I walk away with 2-3 kills for diving 2-4 of them, before I'm dead. That's completely worth it. Now', when a Rose see's me coming and my flank fails, sometimes I'll get the kill on them, sometimes I'm just obliterated at range. But', one things for sure, if her goat is up, I either end up dead quickly, or running my little goat butt out of there to live to fight a minute later.

Whenever I played Rose (or Plants) I found myself dying to the Marine Biologist/Scientist variant more often than any other zombie...in fact I think due to it being Valentine's day in virtually ever MP game, I'm seeing more and more Scientists popping up.So in the current meta, my vote is Scientist and then Super Brainz.

There really is no best character for the Zombies, you just have to find what character best suits your play style. I personally would recommend the Scientist but that's just me.

The Imp was OP in Beta. The grenade and impakta nerf are good.

I liked playing the scientist in the first game. Of course, I'm all about healing roles on most games so scientist and sunflower are my go to classes. I get destroyed a bunch on them but its a trade off. Better to sacrifice one for the team and keep your buddies healed.

All foot soldiers feel incredibly weak; there is no soldier class whatsoever worth playing since all the variants deal minimum damage, making any tactic useless unless you're lucky with your ZPG.
All Cactus have very low fire rate, the only one worth the time is the new purple one (the one with the spinning orbs), and is because of its ability
Chompers, well i guess unless you play garden ops or something equally "light" forget about seeing one in MP.
Peashooters feel too slow and boring (the semi-automatic ones are limited at slow fire rate + ridiculously low damage)
I like the new pirate sniper class, except the long range damage (too low giving how hard it to actually direct hit moving targets
So far, I didn't have too much fun playing any class and it is not because of Roses ruining the gameplay; The combat feels poorly rewording and unnatural if you compare it to GW1.
They seem to have polished the single player but MP took the hit, sadly all these elements leave a disappointing dull flavour.

IMO zombies pros lie in their more accurate fire and bulk, while plants (except for the cactus) trade accuracy for damage and less HP.

I like playing plants like the the cacti and sunflowers because of how accurate their bullets feel, on the other hand kernel corn or the peashooter bullets travel speed feel really awkward.

Now to answer your question, on the zombie side I love playing All stars and scientists. I choose the moto all stars because it can effectively make an enemy completely useless with his mud bullets. And on the scientist side I like picking Dr.Toxic as I think it's the more offensive variant and it can still provide a ton of healing with his skills.

I play the Imp. After all the nerfs he has gotten from the beta and the buff to the Rose he is arguably the worst zombie. But he is just so damn fun.

Because the "Rose meta" dominates Deadbeard and the Scientist are the best zombies.

The scuba soldier does a lot of damage but he has a horribly small magazine. 2 shots before reload.
Damage per hit is about 44-56
