How awful is the chomper in PVZ2?

Sure, he might easily get overwhelmed… but so would most plants if you only planted down two attackers on one lane during a wave. The thing about chomper is that he had a very fast recharge and is relatively inexpensive. So, he’s a really fast charging instant-plant that can counter most zombies, which is pretty good.

The problem with chomper, was when he got released. >He was much more expensive to buy >He had the exact same status on pvz2 from pvz1,meaning that he could only eat a zombie per time and would take 30 seconds to to finish devouring it, but since pvz2 has a much higher zombie density, being able to only deal with one zombie every 30 seconds made him get overhelmed extremely quickly. > he was released on the hardest world in the game, making his weaknesses much more apparent >Not too long after, Toadstool was avaible to buy, which was straight up just a better chomper in every way shape and form Nowadays, he did get a massive buff, being able to eat more zombies at once and having a much shorter chewing time than before

i will not tolerate any Chomper slander

if I'm correct chomper was really bad for the price, but not so long ago they buffed him and now he's much better. Edit: Quote from the wiki "Devours 2-4 zombies before chewing instead of 1. Digest time is reduced from 30-10 seconds to 17-7 seconds." nerded out a bit but Chompy is my favorite plant from the PVZ franchise

Mod playing ultra sweat here: Chomper is actually one of the best Plants but completely misunderstood. He shares this trait with guacodile, he should be a one and done kinda thing. His best synergy is actually not even with a plant but a mechanic, being the shovel bonus that goes up to a staggering 75% depending on how many you have. You don't integrate Chomper in your defense, maybe behind a wall or anything, you just place him, let him eat, shovel, repeat. Usually he only eats once before chewing in mods but that is still a perfectly reliable instakill plant every 5 seconds!! And it doesn't even take time to arm with the added bonus of killing rockpunchers (no other insta does that, not even chilli bean or hypno shroom) and armor 4 zombies which usually also survive some instakills. And if you shovel him after that, that makes him cost a total of ~35 sun which is nothing short of impressive and (theoretically) even powercreeps absolute powerhouses like magnifying grass in certain scenarios. Calling Chomper bad is just foul. Also yeah, Vanilla players could also just use Pokra but this thing makes every other plant seem worthless, so yeah.

chomper has always been one of my favorite plants, maybe not gameplay wise but its design and concept idea on paper always appealed to me

You aren't using Chomper to its fullest potential either. Chompers perform ideally when the zombies are spaced out so you should plant them further back so when a new group of zombies spawn, its far from the current group that the chompers are dealing with. You also notice that they have a cooldown when they are munching on the zombies so they work best with a blocking plant in front of them even if its a weak temporary blocker like a sunflower. This game also is not designed to be played with just one single plant as your attacker so that is also why it fails sometimes but maybe insta-win is a fair expectation from a premium plant.

It would be nice to see them cover the caulipower next since it’s basically a superior hypnoshoom like plant that hypnotizes zombies. You can beat the level in modern day that introduces brick heads with it as your only offensive plant.

Try speedrunning pvz2 alternate universe, it's a mod that changes the progression to 10 levels per world and each level is actually interesting. Basically pvz2 if it was good, also all plants are free

The saying "you put the cart before the horse" is a real saying and its been used for a very long time

The problem with peoples use of Chomper is that he is a semi instant use plant with a very quick cool down. Not a permanent attacker just look at how the speedrunners for Pvz 1 use him. Regardless he should never have been a premium.

I love how he expects 1 chomper to take on like a full lane without a plant food, and when he doesn’t speezy is like “WELL How DId tHat hapPeN” Omg Tysm for the likes

i think i saw that they were pretty good, like their recharge is very quick and you might be able to just use it as an ok insta

You should try stalling by not offing the zombies too early, which buys you time to set up a good chomper defence. For example spam freeze and walls and only plant chompers on column 3 then 4. Walls also makes the waves more manageable.

His Plantfood Effect Sucks up Zombies to eat, and then he Burps, Pushing Back any other Zombies in the lane he hasnt eaten. I think his normal non Plantfood Burps do the same when he's leveled up

14:45 Brian is geomy dash?!?

Chomper was used as an insta back in the first game. They should still be as good as before if not better after the buffs. And the sun meta pretty much means their 150 sun cost isn't as much of an issue as it seems. Still not worth giving 5$ to EA

why are you buying these plants when you could get them for free through editing your pp.dat file

they really glossing over that he said "he's good with his thingy" after mentioning the "SUCK"
