Board Thread:Plants vs. Zombies 2: It's About Time/@comment-25571438-20150320134815/@comment-24275721-20150321182948

By now, I've had plenty of time to try out DANDELION with different other plants and here's my actual review of it:


 * The plant is actually very nice except for one thing (more on that later). The damage is actually relatively high and it can manage crowds with just one column of it's seedy brethren. Plant two columns and you have canrage all over the place.


 * The recharge is also okay-ish if you have Imitater. if you don't then this plant might give you trouble in the lawn at the most crucial moments.


 * I like the subtle touch PopCap gave here with it's Plant Food effect. At first the bombs drop down real quick but then slow down after the first volley as they are lightweight and thus float in air.


 * Now the problem (for me atleast). It's Sun cost bugs me. I find myself desperate for just 25 or 50 more sun at almost all times because of it's unique sun cost (especially when I need just one more in a lane to maximise damage). Even with two columns of Twin Sunflower it's really tough to properly both manage your defense and sun storage at the same time due to zombies arriving early (especially notable in BWB and FC)


 * Oddly enough, I found that it's better not to use it with Blover and/or Hurrikale as it makes the plant sitting duck for a while if you don't have reserve Plant Food or Power Lily by your side. Instead I found myself combining Homing Thistle and Dandelion together. 1C HT + 1C D + 1C CG is enough for the first few waves in any normal level. In Endless Zones, IF you use this and HT, use 2C of Dandelions and HT.
