Insert Your Name Here wrote: I'm beginning to really hate Crazy as a type. This is after me getting the fourth consecutive Cakesplosion (which is a terrible excuse of a trick card) in a row, instead of the more productive uncommons spreaded across multiple other types like Metal Petal, Weed Spray and stuff. Here are the things that I noted about the situation:


 * Crazy has a slouch of barely useful zombies. Dancing stuff may have quite great damage potential both to the plants and the hero, but too bad that strategy has to revolve around "I really hope my Backup Dancers and co don't get instantly wiped out in 1 turn", something very hard to do due to Dancing teammates' hilarious lack of survivability. This is not just wrapped in the general idea behind the zombie class: The heavy class zombies of the Crazy type include Imp-Throwing Gargantuar, a really basic 5/5 with meh ability; Foot Soldier, a way too hard to use zombie with average effect at best; and Valkyrie, which is good but hard to find. Newspaper is occasionally nice but can't really tank hits like Beary to get some good mileage. Unlife of the Party just feels like a worse Paparazzi, since it is much easier to spam tricks than to spawn more zombies. The other classes' legendaries include Zombots that could wipe out everything, Sharkotronic that gives deadly to everything and gain stats like crack, Super Brainz fanboy that can get tons of health and so on. Crazy's legendary is Captain Deadbeard, something that the plant could just ignore until the end of the game and even when properly used won't have that much of an impact.


 * Crazy's trick arsenal looks pathetic in comparison to others. For example, I would say that Cakesplosion is the model of everything wrong with the crazy type. Supposedly its cost and effect suggest that the player use it on a high health plant - too bad most other classes have ways to do it more efficiently: Sneaky has deadly, Beastly has locust, Brainy has rockets. Cakesplosion can't even hit the enemy hero to get an edge over the other insta-kill options. Chickening looks like an inferior version of weed spray, or even cherry bomb. And seriously? Gargantuars' Feast?

Am I missing something with crazy? What thing haven't I tried that could make the type better for me? Lol, I also have the 4 cakesplosions, at least we don't get them anymore. It is also a matter of knowing how to use the Crazy type. There is Dancing zombies, Disco-tron 3000s, Cuckoo Zombies, etc. My favorite strategy is to Electric Boogaloo summon an Unlife on the a turn where you know they will survive and use Dancing Zombies, the superpower that summons two Backups and other low cost zombies. Your lawn gets quickly protected and you have a super powerful zombie.
