And if you think Surfers are balanced, you've never tried Tiki Torch-er. They can insta-kill a plant once they reach land and the only way to stop them killing the plant is to destroy the surfboard while they're holding it, which is usually impossible because by the time they reach land they're deep inside your defenses. In many cases, they are more dangerous than Gargs, Octos, or even LOW TIDES. Infi-nut shields can stop Surfers and force them to put all of their surfboards in one lane, and Hurrikale can blow Surfers that have reached the shore/Infi-nut shield and are holding their boards all the way back to the front of the lawn. The only problem is if a Surfer sticks his surfboard into the Infi-nut, but you can stop that using Hurrikale like I said.

Wizards and Jesters are very unbalanced, but Octos and Fishermen, while still slightly unbalanced, are much more balanced than them. Fisherman actually has a counter, and, since the Octopi can be destroyed themselves rather than forcing you to kill the "leader" first, other plants can still attack the Octopi and the Octo Zombie at the same time. However, you could still be screwed from a lawn full of octopi just the same as a lawn full of sheep, but it's easier to avoid getting there to begin with with Octo Zombie.
