Split Pea is only useful for dealing with Diggers. Blover is a tad costly when you want to use it, and when you DON'T want to use it (which if often since balloons arn't super common) it's a waste of space unfortunately. Split Pea/Blover: Both of these plants have the issue of "Utility that is done better by other plants". Cherry only takes up 1 slot and leaves no crater, Squash and Potato are much cheaper, Jalapeno is cheaper and has specific key uses (Ice) you get the jist. The problem isġ.Both require two seed slots, and neither are good enough to justify that.Ģ.Both are simply outclassed by the other explosives (and Squash and Kelp). Both have decently useful affects for the price. Ice-shroom/Doom-shroom: On paper, neither of these plants are bad at all. The only zombie that you might want to hypnotize the Gargantuar, can't be hypnotized. You should have enough damage to deal with every zombie class well enough to make the cost and recharge trade off the Hypno-shroom has not worth it. Hypno-shroom: Underwhelming unfortunately. In general the Bottom Tier is very close they all suck. Heavily outclassed but because it's not OBJECTIVELY rendered obsolete, I consider it the best of Bottom Tier. This plant is also quite vulnerable, and the insane 42 second reload basically secures this plant a Bottom Tier spot.Ĭactus: More expensive Peashooter BUT in can pop balloons. Being able to chomp one zombie at a time doesn't cut in in the campaign past World-1, let alone Survival Endless (and even then that's stretching it). Or it would be if there wasn't much better options.Ĭhomper: Too expensive for what it does. Sea-shroom: Basically the same as Puff-shroom, but your generally more limited in the water, so Sea-shroom is SLIGHTLY more desirable. That said, it isn't 100% objectively inferior to another plant, so that's why its slightly higher than the other two shrooms below it.

While they serve a niche at the point at which you get them in the campaign, you're not as limited in Survival endless, so they're basically useless.

Puff-shroom: This plant is just not useful. Both are equal to Peashooter and Sunflower at their bests in terms of what they do, but Sun-shroom costs more sun and takes time to grow, and Scaredy-shroom has its hide mechanic obviously. Scaredy-shroom/Sun-shroom: There is objectively no reason to use these plants.
