C) BORING. What is the appeal of this plant once SpS is unlocked? Deal "more" damage to a single enemy, which is equivalent to SpS's damage. So it's gimmick is 100% worthless. The appeal is the appearance & something new. Endurian ain't powerful, Pepper-pult ain't got the same punch as melons, Torchwood is barely useful nowadays, but I use those guys a lot of times for the fun of it... Yes, a new thing will always arouse interest in a game, but I don't think that's enough to warrent the outrageous price tag. At best it's a ueable plant with new features that work efficiently with some other plants. At worst, it loses it's new car smell and we are left with a nice design and an obsolete offensive power.

Now, if you want to make the game more difficult or interesting by refraining from using the cliche, tried and true, overused-to-death plants, more power to you. I too have been experimenting with this type of refrain by using only instants and a single offensive plant for Far Future - Day 24. It's fun and a lot more diverse than the normal meta.

But even by these standards, there are better plants for both extremes. There are some who are much more powerful without being broken and others who are weaker but can still be used if you know how to handle the handicap set toward yourself. BH does ok amounts of damage, at an ok price with an ok gimmick. It just dosen't fill the needs as a plant for a difficult main challenge or for a silly optional game.

Then again, it's only my opinion. Maybe it deals more damage than what the fearute video showcased, maybe it has a secret feature that generates synergy with a certain plant ot groups of plants (those fire assets tho). Time will tell by profiding official proof, so please take a grain of salt when I discuss about BH.
