User blog comment:Tecku/TT: Premiums and Gemiums/@comment-1764483-20150314164127

I agree with the initial statement.

My thoughts on the premiums:


 * Snow Pea: Early levels, perhaps. Winter Melon makes Snow Pea (arguably?) the dumbest premium.
 * Power Lily: Great, vital for OP Endless Zones. However, if I can't instantly recharge it, why not make it recharge faster?
 * Squash: Can kill Gargantuars. Targeting is questionable (new feature/mechanic much?)... eh.
 * Torchwood: Lack of splash damage reduces utility, but good Plant Food.
 * Jalapeno: Okay, but zombies spread out in multiple rows.
 * Imitater: Sometimes, useful with certain things (Blover and Imitater Blover are great), but sometimes, you need to spread out selected plants.
 * Starfruit: Usable, but Rotobaga is almost better. The directions though.
 * Hypno-shroom: Plant Food/Chickens/Weasels?
 * Pea-nut: I guess for regular levels and early Endless Zones. Why is this premium again?
 * Chomper: Costs more money than Pea-n*s, and not worth it. Regular levels, maybe? Early Pharaohs/Chickens/Wranglers?
 * Homing Thistle: I guess good for regular levels and early Endless Zones. Pirate Seas/Frostbite Caves much?
 * Ghost Pepper: Great, great, great. It's OP really.
 * Sweet Potato: I actually kind of like it. It's underpowered indeed, but it's quite useful with Cherry Bomb and Hurrikale.
 * Sap-fling: Meh, had potential, but sucks in-game, but maybe I'll have better use. The idea of a limited-time MONEY premium is bullsh!t and the lack of damage is very off-putting to me, and since the 3.2 update, I can't even tell which zombies are and are not sapped!
 * Hurrikale: If you don't use it in Endless Zones, it'll look useless, but it's actually quite good against Surfers and Gargantuars.
 * Fire Peashooter: I hate the name... and it's okay, but not great outside of Frostbite Caves. Its Plant Food effect was perfect in the 3.2 update, but uninteresting since the 3.3 update.
 * Sun Bonus: Useful, I guess, but I can't plant a Twin Sunflower with it, and the 2.7 update didn't help.
 * Bonus Seed Slot: Perhaps the best IAP in PvZ2, due to maximizing seed slots.
 * Shovel Bonus: I guess good. Not much to say here.
 * Plant Food Bonus: Useless except for simultaneous Plant Fooding and guilt for not picking up PF.

Also, don't heed Cyrus's opinion on anything, especially if judging without usage.
