Strategies

TV Head is decent on his own, but is much better in groups or with AI. Stay next to AI to get armor buffs, and group up with AI and player TV Heads to trick enemies into thinking you are AI, get armor, and launch devastating attacks in a group.

Unlike Wildflower's Bloom Boom, If TV Head's Overheated Dinner will stay on the ground for a little bit before exploding 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, let them get hit by the explosion and attack them by surprise.

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

Dinner for Two ● 4 Throw a volley of two Overheated Dinners. Increases the ammo count for Overheated Dinner from 1 to 3, with a rate of fire of 60 RPM. Zero Chill ● 2 Faster movement of Yeti Imp. Yeti Imp moves faster, with the following modifiers: Forward constant = 1.5x, Backward constant = 2x, Left and right constant = 1.578947x. Refreshing Revive ● 1 Faster refresh time for all abilities by reviving an ally. Reduces ability cooldown by 100% (10 seconds) when a teammate is revived.
