Strategies[]
There are two ways to activate the homing for Can't-Miss-ile. The more simple way is to aim at the plants in which they'll home automatically. However, there is another way to track onto plants without aiming. When using the 80s Action Hero's Bow Blaster, everytime it hits a plant, it "tags" onto them. When a foe has three tags onto them, the rockets will lock on to them even if the 80s Action Hero does not aim well. A powerful combo that can be used, (Considering that the player has the proper upgrades) is using Super Payload and Critical Tag, which spells almost certain doom even if just a stage-one charge shot hits the head. Certain upgrades for the 80s Action Hero can also give plants tags as well. Itโs ideal to gain 3 tags on several different enemies, best used with abilities, as these launch extra rockets.
In terms of usage, it's best used to finish off weakened foes as they will most certainly be hit by the missiles due to it's homing nature. Another usage is crowd control which can at least weaken a horde of plants and homing is nearly guaranteed to a massive crowd of plants.
Note that the homing of the rockets has a set distance, so use this ability at close range if you donโt have any tags on an enemy.
