Why Can't Plants Win Herbal Assault Even On Easy???

I tried 8 times, on both maps. Not once was I able to win. That is nuts!!! I know zombies are OP but c'mon!

Has anyone won an Herbal assault match?

  • Not sure what you're talking about. I win plenty of times on easy since i use easy mode to level up my chompers since he's under powered right now and takes longer than the rest to level for that reason. I've even won on crazy mode but only once on each side. once using all corns and on the zombie side all general supremos

    Unlike players the AI actually knows how to defend the objective and are always stay in the point or at least very close to it but i know for a fact that if you're playing on easy then you can just rush in and always capture the point and the AI is easy to deal with. If you aren't winning on easy as a plant it's probably because you aren't helping your team capture the objective because the attacking AI doesn't always rush in to take over the point and is usually more focused on fighting the other AI bots

    No, I was going in to try and take the base, granted I was playing as frost Rose, but even so, I was the super elite version, but it still didn't matter.

  • I always win herbal assault when I'm playing against real people so I don't imagine its too hard on easy mode against NPCs.

    Honestly in some cases I find the NPC's much more difficult to deal with compared to real people. Most of the time they detect me walking behind them and flip around and kill me with their ridiculous aim whereas a person would have no idea.

    AI...I pointed this out in my list thread. Even on easy their aim is near perfect and they're just viscous. Not to mention drones are pretty much useless.

    I always win when I play with Toxic Pea or Corn. On the normal difficulty is impossible to win as plants.

  • Well I FINALLY managed to win 2 games, one as uni-chomper, and one as specialist druid rose. The problem is the AI is complete garbage. They almost never make any sort of attempt to take a base, and they are completely ineffective at providing cover fire when you try to take it yourself. Every time I went in to take the base, it was full of zombies, plus all the turrets, because the plant AI won't even take those out. So you are forced to try an kill every zombie by yourself and hope you live long enough to start turning the base. You are literally playing this game solo, you may as well be on a team of one! And even though I finally won 2 times, it was far from "easy". the only reason I think I was even able to is because I wasn't instantly killed upon entering the base due to the enemy hit points being weaker, but I'd imagine, if this had been normal mode, I wouldn't have won at all.

    I'm sure if you're playing as stronger characters like a toxic pea or corn, it wouldn't be this hard to win, but this is the EASY mode, you should be able to win with every character....easily!

    Porcelain vase weeds are your friend in AI herbal assault.
  • @llachie Well that would be great if the game weren't so stingy on giving you consumables, especially the good ones! I'm practically down to nothing, and am  not about to waste what I do have on solo play.
