First, which is better? Strawburst or Banana Launcher?

Twin Sunflower, Imitater Twin Sunflower and Gold Bloom; Twin Sunflower, Gold Bloom and Imitater Gold Bloom; or Primal Sunflower, Gold Bloom and Imitater Gold Bloom? 1. Banana Launcher is great for directed attacking, while Strawburst is excellent at completely wiping any and all zombies it can target in its lane. A column of both, SB is better for crowds, BL for Gargantuars. However, when adding a second column, SB is far superior due to its larger AoE damage and tap speed to fire off all, when BL requires drags for each and every launch.

2. I don't think anyone would need a sun producer, Gold Bloom AND Imitater for either plant. Keep that Imitater for another plant duplicate, like Charry Bomb. Otherwise, just choose a different plant to allow for more diverse strategies and leeway if you get in a pinch 7 plants can't counter on their own.

As for sun producers in general, Primal Sun Flower or Sun-shroom are the best, as they produce the most sun per lawn square without being penalized with slow recharge and cost like Twin Sunflower. PSF for instant sun poduction and easier mid game, SS for easy early game and late game for saving 250 sun initially, plus is a great Garganutar staller at only 25 sun a smash. If either are bosted, SS is the better of the two.

Gold Bloom is great if you have an extra space or two for your seed pool, as it negates PSF and TSF's large cost and makes early powerhouses a breeze. Mandatory? Not per se, PF is still a great method to attaining early sun, but this bypasses the requirement of PF conservation and could be used in other areas.
