- PvZH event has been moved into an unknown date, and replaced with new Beghouled Beyond event, starring Kiwibeast, starting July 28 through August 10. Why are they so obsessed with Beghouled lately!?

About Kiwibeast, I think they actually managed to do a good job of not making him a direct upgrade. He can be very powerful, but you have to risk losing him in the process, and I like that idea. He can't do a lot of the things Phat Beet does because he needs to take some damage first before getting more powerful, so doing a Phat Beet setup would require zombies to breach your defense FIRST, then somehow kick them out, which is really difficult to do. Plus, he still attacks slower. Overall, Kiwibeast still seems to be the better plant, but he is premium after all. Kiwibeast full grown does 4Nds slowly. Phat Beet does q.tNds fast. The idea's that, but, ultimately, I would rather get my shield up along with Phat Beet or Snapdragon. Yes, there's Primal Nut, but still: Kiwibeast relies on zombies eating him (and how many zombies actually eat with all the crazy zombies that can crush, neutral, insta-kill...?). While Phat Beet/Snapdragon don't. True, whenever I see "works when eaten!" I realize it's usually not that good, with explorer, barrel guy, parrot, piano, mecha football, wizard, octo, land surfer, fisher, troglobite, turquoise skull, all NMT zombies with jam, all-star, and all gargs.
