So far it's worked great. I'd probably replace Phat Beet with another plant entirely like Celery Stalker or Stunion, but an otherwise good idea! I don't see how Phat Beets are more useful than a Snapdragon or a Bonk Choy, but if they work, they work. Oooh boy I've been waiting for a chance like this.

Let me tell you why I prefer Phat Beet over those two options and also why it's my favorite plant.

Bonk Choy can only attack one zombie at a time, and no matter what some might say that's just no good in EZs so Phat Beet is just straight up better in that regard.

As for Snapdragon there are a number of reasons:

-While PB deals half the damage of SD per hit, it has more than twice the fire rate, and if you include PB's critical hits it adds up to a lot more DPS than Snapdragon.

-Snapdragon can't be used in conjunction with WM so it's really not that useful in EZs.

-Phat Beet can help a lot with Boombox zombies, which are one of the worst zombies to get in HttDR.

-Phat Beet also hits behind it, so if you place them in the 4th row like I do in the picture, they deal with the Imps thrown by Gargantuars while also doing damage to the zombies in the front.

Overall I love Phat Beet because even if it doesn't do that much damage, it does it quickly, which is the one downside a lot of the best plants in the game have (like Winter Melon or Dusk-lobber), so it pairs great with said plants.
