Weapons[]

Primary Weapon[]

Rapid fire tape ejector.

In-game description

TV Head's primary weapon is the Unkind Rewind, which deals 11 damage (51.33 DPS) and 13 critical damage (60.67 DPS), with a rate of fire of 280 RPM, and 25 rounds.

Melee[]

TV Head's melee attack is the Snack Attack, it deals 50 damage to all plants in a very short range in front of the TV Head. After attacking, TV Head will be left vulnerable for 3 seconds, being unable to attack. If you land a hit with Snack Attack, a message saying "Smack!" will appear and the TV Head will earn 10-30 XP.

Unlike most other weapons, the Snack Attack is activated by pressing the right stick on consoles and the scroll wheel on PC.

Strategies[]

With[]

The TV Head is decent on his own, but he has much more of an advantage in groups or with AI. Stay near other TV Heads to receive an armor buff. Launch devastating attacks as a swarm.

Unlike Wildflower's Bloom Boom, TV Head's Overheated Dinner will stay on the ground for a little bit before automatically detonating if it doesn't hit an enemy. You can use this to your advantage by throwing an Overheated Dinner at the ground while someone is chasing you, and let them get hit by the explosion to ambush them by surprise. You can also throw an Overheated Dinner near an unsuspecting enemy if they're not moving and wait for it to explode to vanquish them.

TV Head's Big Bite upgrade for Snack Attack (TV Head's melee attack) is a good way to attack your enemy and essentially 'combo' them if you move around enough. Don't expect this to work all the time, however, since the stun duration is very short.

Builds

Revolts of the TV — by DreamyImpy

This build is for players who play aggressively, when the enemy team is composed of high-healthed opponents such as Citron and Oak, or those who are playing in Team Vanquish. Pop down a Yeti Imp, then steer it into a large crowd of plants, dealing high damage and slowing them down. Then, run up to them and throw your Overheated Dinners, dealing an instant 150 damage to them. Take out any survivors with your Unkind Rewind. Revive any fallen allies to alleviate the issue of your abilities' high cooldown.

Tips and facts[]

  • Being swallowed by a Chomper should be avoided as it prevents the player from using the Commercial Break bucket.
  • The Yeti Imp is very effective against multiple Acorns sitting on an Oak, which can be done by jumping and exploding it when close to the Oak's top part.
