Strategies[]

With[]

Missile Madness- Try not to waste this on one enemy as it can take down a large group easily and effectively. this can also be used as a psudo-Explosive Escape as it will keep firing even when in breaking animation. Explosive Escape- This can be useful in two ways. If you are out of abilities and run into a large group of plants, you can use this and trap all the plants near the explosion with your Gravity Grenade as it ensures the Plants don't escape. It's also useful when your mech is low on health and you want one last push, or to put up a wall of death so you can escape safely. Gravity Grenade and Explosive Escape is one of the most deadly combos in the game.

Bionic Bash- This is good for taking down smaller plants instantly like Night Cap or Acorn as it's normally hard to aim at them, or doing finishing damage to groups of plants. This is also useful for unburrowing chompers, sunflowers and peashooters.

Tips & Tricks[]

If you can tell your Z-Mech is about to be destroyed, and for some reason, don't use the explosive escape to gravity grenade combo, then you can simply use missile madness, because it will continue firing even after the mech has reached 0 HP.
