User blog comment:Tecku/TT: Premiums and Gemiums/@comment-26210337-20150314201721

Here's my opinions.

- Power Lily: Definitely the best iAP along with the Bonus seed slot. the amount of unique utility it brings is astounding, and it's the plant to bring in Endless Zones.

- Bonus Seed Slot: I agree with this too. More plants, more power! I wish it wasn't bundle with a crappy plant though.

- Sun Bonus: I don't really agree. Despite Squash's screwed up targeting, I still think him and Imitater are better than this. It's very useful for EZ's, as well as DA and BWB

- Squash: Easily one of if not the best instants in the game. His targeting is very suckish, but I haven't had it happen to me. He at least has great crowd-control when he does work.

- Imitater: This thing works situationally. When it works, it works fairly well though. Here's a random list of the plants I think are worthy to be Imitated


 * Jalapeno
 * Cherry Bomb
 * Hurrikale
 * Ghost Pepper
 * Sun-shroom
 * Twin Sunflower
 * Blover
 * Power Lily
 * Tall-nut

- Jalapeno: Again, good in certain situations. I find it very useful when paired with Bowling Bulbs. Very straight-forward effect, but Cherry Bomb is just better.

-Sap-fling: I'm with Bul9, Sap-fling just sucks. It has literally no damage, and the AOE slow, while nice, I'd rather just use a Winter Melon. I don't even use this in Frostbite Caves, where fire reigns supreme and Winter Melons aren't the meta. It does what it does, but it isn't the best at slowing.

- Pea-nut: I'm unimpressed. It does what it needs to do, and at this point, it's a better Wall-nut. It's effect is VERY boring, and at best it saves a Seed slot, and a spot on the yard.

- Snow Pea: In my opinion, this should be ahead of Pea-nut. It's slow effect, while nice, isn't AOE without Plant Food. i liked it in the original, but it was ruined here.

- Torchwood: If there's one thing, Sap-fling isn't the worst premium IMO. This one is. It has no splash damage anymore, only single-target. So it's aweful, and it's bundled with the best premium in the game. PLEASE.

- Hypno-shroom: Jalapeno and Hurrikale are better. My brother, who used to LOVE this plant, now hates in PVZ2, because of how bad it is. ONTOP OF THAT, it was horribly nerfed. Skip it.

- Starfruit: It's still a central part of my Tiki-Torcher strat, but it was changed for the worse (not nerfed), and now, Rotobaga exists. Unless you wanna use my strat, skip this.

- Shovel Bonus: Not really necessary, but if you really want it, I guess it's ok...

- Chomper: Complete agreement.

- Plant Food Bonus: Only necessary in EZ's

- Ghost Pepper: While easily the best Gemium, I find it overrated. not VERY overrated, but slightly overrated. It's very effective at what it needs to do, but I feel like it doesn't do enough damage.

- Fire Pea Shooter: It's BORING. It's is stolen from Laser Bean (bar the damage over time), which had it's effect stolen from Jalapeno, so it's a rip-off of a rip-off. It's literally a Torchwood + Peashooter, which is very boring.

- Hurrikale: Nothing much to talk about here. It's comparable to Jalapeno, so they're about even.

- Homing Thistle: Very good early, horrible later.

-Sweet Potato: Worst Gemium, ever. It costs too much sun to be worth it.
