The Basic Uses Of The Foot Soldier Zombie

      Finally I move on to the zombies. The first zombie that I will talk about is the foot soldier zombie. The foot soldier zombie is the zombie equivalence of the peashooter. The foot soldier zombie, unlike the plants, has a gun that can shoot extremely fast, and can shoot as far as you want it to. The foot soldier zombie has the same amount of health as the peashooter, which is approximately 125. Sadly the foot soldier zombie doesn't deal splash damage, so instead you have to hit the target straight on, which isn't actually very difficult. The foot soldier zombie is also the perfect troop for taking out the garlic drone because of his weapon accuracy and because it deals more than 5 damage, which is how much health the garlic drone has. The foot soldier zombie is also the run-and-gun character of the zombies side which, for those of you who forget, means that he can dish out a good amount of damage, and reload fast, but doesn't have that much health. Another great thing about the foot soldier zombie is its three unique abilities. The zombies also have three abilities which can be unlocked by leveling up your characters which you do by completing challenges that the game gives you. The first ability that you get is the zombie stink cloud. The zombie stink cloud is kind of like tear gas, but it hurts plants rapidly doing 2-3 damage per second. A strategy that you could use with the zombie stink cloud is using it as a shield. Since the cloud damages plants they won't be able to go in and find you. There are icons on the screen indicating who and where the players are allowing you to find and shoot the plants. The plants can do the same to you, but it will be a lot harder for them. The second ability that you unlock doesn't involve the zombie rooting himself into the ground, but instead lets him use the jet pack sort of thing on his back. The second ability that you get is the rocket jump. The foot soldier zombie has a jet pack/bazooka on his back that he uses for multiple things. Anyway, the rocket jump allows the the zombie to jump really high in the air, which can be used to escape dangerous situations, or it can be used to reach places that you couldn't normally reach. The third and final ability that you get is the ZPG. Unfortunately I don't know what ZPG stands for, but I do know what it does. It is an RPG that you lean over and shoot, using the bazooka part of your machine thing, firing a gigantic missile that does massive damage that will almost always one-shot an enemy. A very good and very effective strategy that you could use that involves all three of your abilities is that you can throw down a zombie stink cloud canister, rocket jump in the air, and while in the air use your ZPG, which can take down multiple targets. Now I will talk about the weapon upgrades. The upgrade for the zombie stink cloud is the super stink cloud. The super stink cloud only does more damage, and nothing else. At least nothing else that is out of my knowledge. The upgrade for the rocket jump ability is the rocket leap. The rocket leap isn't so much of an upgrade though. It just allows you to rocket jump a lot farther than the rocket jump, but at the cost of height. The third and final upgrade is the multi-rocket. The multi-rocket is for the ZPG, and shoots multiple rockets that do less damage, but you still shoot five of them that do 14-20 damage, which also doesn't include tons and tons of extra splash damage that wull get the job done. That is all for this time. Next time I will be talking about the Engineer Zombie. Until then. enjoy the game! :D

The Basic Uses Of The Cactus

      Today I will be telling and teaching you about how to use the cactus. The cactus is the sniper of the plants side. The sniper is the one that can both shoot long range and do a lot of damage at the same time. The only down side about the cactus is that you have to hit them with a direct hit. The cactus also has an enhanced zoom site so you can aim and shoot from longer distances. The cactus also has bad recoil, which is also one of the qualities that represents a sniper rifle. Not all cacti have as bad recoil like some do. A couple of unlockables do have a tiny bit of recoil, but not much. Cacti can do very high damage in a short amount of time. The cactus does about 22 damage for a body shot, and close to 33 damage for headshots. They shoot as fast as you can pull the trigger button. Also, if you like to camp in games with weapons, the cactus is the one for you! You can find a safe spot to hide where nobody will be able to see you, and then you can snipe them, and the enemy will be stumped and trying to figure out where you are giving you more free kills. The cactus, like all of the others, has three unique abilities. The first you unlock is called the Tall Nut Battlement. The Tall Nut battlement is just a barrier made out of tall peanut shaped plants tied together by a rope. If non-player zombies come across one they will target it, and it will take them a while to take it down. The second ability is the garlic drone. The garlic drone is a flying garlic that you control can shoot what looks like seeds, and also has an ability of it's own called the corn strike. The corn strike sends out a bunch of corn missiles on wherever you target it. The onion drone can be shot down by one bullet by any character except the all star zombie. You can't shoot forever with the onion drone because then it would be over powered, so to prevent that from happening it has a short cool down time. You will always want to move with the garlic drone because it can be shot down very easily The cactus' third and final ability is the potato mine. The potato mine is what it says. The potato mine will plant itself into the ground and take a little time to get ready to explode. The potato mine will almost always one-hit-kill you, unless you get lucky of course. The cactus also has weapon upgrades that you can get through sticker packs. The upgrade that you get for the Tall Nut Battlement is called the Iron Medan. The Iron Medan is a small and fatter wall nut that is stuffed into a metal suit of armor, making it a lot tougher to destroy than before. The upgrade that you get for the onion drone is the artichoke drone. The artichoke drone is a lot better than the garlic drone because it has a lot more health than before. It also does a little more damage than before so now you can kill zombies even faster! The best thing about the artichoke drone is that the corn strike ability recharges a lot faster than before! You will want to keep moving, however, because a few shots from a foot soldier zombie can still take it out. Also if you die while using a drone it will explode; obviously making it unusable. The next upgrade, which is for the potato mine, isn't really an upgrade in my opinion. It is the potato nugget mine. The potato nugget mine is a smaller and weaker version of the potato mine, but you get to plant a lot more of them than before. That is it for today! Next time I will move over to the zombies side! Until next time, enjoy the game!!! :DDD

The Basic Uses Of The Chomper

    This time I will be over viewing the Chomper. The chomper is known as the tank, meaning it has a ton of health. The chomper has one main attack, and I bet you can guess what it is. The chomper's bites do 25, or very close to 25, damage. The good thing about the chomper is that there are multiple one's that you can unlock. My personal favorite is the fire chomper. The fire chomper doesn't actually bite the opponents, so instead it sprays flames at them. Unfortunately you cannot spray flames forever, so it will stop after a certain amount of time, leaving you vulnerable. A good target to pick off while being a chomper is the scientist. The scientist has the lowest amount of health so you can easily chomp it to death. A cool thing about the chomper is that if you are behind a zombie a red target looking thing, (a pair of chomper jaws) and if you press the trigger button while that target is showing you will stick the zombie to your tongue and swallow eat him. The only down side is that it takes time to eat and swallow the zombie, thus making you vulnerable. So if you are surrounded by zombies you will most likely die because you wont be able to use any of your abilities, and it will also make you a little bit slower. Although, if you eat the zombie they will be unrevivable. Like the peashooter and sunflower the chomper has three unique abilities. The first one that you unlock is the goop. What the chomper does is he spits a purple goop at the zombies making them unable to move, giving the chomper time to swoop in for the kill. Unlike the peashooter and sunflower the chomper does not root itself into the ground, instead it has the ability called burrow. What the chomper does is he burrows underground and starts moving swiftly underground. If you are under a zombie while using the burrow ability a big red target will appear which will enable you to come up from the ground and eat the zombie. The chomper's third and final ability is to spray spikeweed on the ground. What spikeweed does is when a zombie steps over it it will be grabbed by the ankle, and stuck in the air. Although it does do a small amount of damage the purpose of the spikeweed is to give the chomper time to swoop in and eat the target while they are hanging in the air. The spikeweed only puts the zombie in the air for a very small amount of time so you will have to quickly make your way to where you put your spikeweed. That is it for this time, so next time I will be over viewing the cactus, or the sniper of the class. Until then, enjoy the game! :D

The Basic Uses Of The Sunflower

      The sunflower is the medic class of the plant side. The medic is the one who does all of the major healing, faster reviving, etc. Although the sunflower is weak, it can dish out a good amount of damage. The sunflower typically has a lot of ammunition. With the amount of ammunition the sunflower has, and depending on how much skill you have, you can easily take down an All-Star. The sunflower also can shoot very fast, making it easier to take down targets with the amount of damage she has. The sunflower, like the rest of the playable characters, has three unique abilities. The first you unlock will be the heal beam. The heal beam, as stated in the name, is a heal beam. Once you activate it the beam it will target the nearest player, or potted plant, and send them a thin glowing line that will heal them at a medium pace. The second ability you will unlock is the sun beam. The sun beam is similar to the pea Gatling ability, where the sunflower roots herself into the ground and blasts what looks like a giant heal beam, that doesn't actually heal, that will do a ton of damage, usually 6-8, at an extremely fast pace. The third, and final, ability you will unlock is the heal flower. The heal flower is a miniature sunflower that will quickly generate what looks like sun points (your main source of energy used to survive in the first few games) that will quickly heal you and or the other players around it. A strategy you could use if you are the sunflower, if you are at low health and are surrounded by a lot of zombies, is you can plant heal flower and then activate your sun beam ability, and then you will be virtually indestructible because the heal flower will act as a health regenerating shield. So unless you are hit with a ZPG (one of the foot soldier zombie's ability) to the face, you will be almost invincible. If you are lucky enough, you will get some of the sunflower's weapon upgrades. The rainbow beam, which is the upgraded ability of the heal beam, is absolutely positively no different from the heal beam except for the fact that instead of the glowing line, it is a rainbow. The next upgrade is the solar flare beam, which is the upgraded version of the sun beam. What it starts out like is four tiny green lines of sun beam intersecting into each other, turning into a big green, and a lot more powerful sun beam. The next and final upgrade is the dark flower. The dark flower is the upgraded version of the heal flower. Essentially, the dark flower is the complete opposite of the heal flower because it is evil. Instead of creating small little sun points and healing players, it shoots thin red lasers at other opponents, causing a good amount of damage. Heal flowers and dark flowers can both be killed, (if not they will despawn after a certain amount of time) so you will want to protect them so you can get the full package from them. Those are the basics of the sunflower. Next time I will be over viewing the chomper, the tank of the plants. I hope this helped a lot, and until then, enjoy the game! :D

The Basics

          Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare is a third person shooter, meaning you play from a movie type view, with a variety of characters, both plants and zombies, and game modes. In the game there are four different types of plants and zombies, both with a variety of sub-characters. For plants you will meet the peashooter, the chomper, the sunflower, and the cactus. The peashooter is the run-and-gun type of character, meaning he does a lot of damage and reloads fast, but doesn't have a lot of health, 125 to be exact. Each character in Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare has three unique abilities, each of those abilities can be upgraded via sticker packs. Sticker packs are your main source of items, characters, upgrades, and weapon upgrades. So, getting back to the topic, the peashooter's three abilities are the chili bean bomb, pea Gatling, and hyper mode. The chili bean bomb is what it says, it is a chili bean bomb that will kill anything that is within it's radius, and will also attract non-player zombies. Pea Gatling is an ability that makes the peashooter dig itself into the ground, stand guard, and shoot extremely fast. Even though it doesn't do too much damage, you still fire really fast, and can probably take out a hoard of zombies with it. Hyper is basically the peashooter on steroids and a sugar rush x 10. The peashooter goes a lot faster than normal and can jump really high so you can then get to places you couldn't normally reach. Another strategy you could use if your taking a lot of damage is you could use hyper mode when your in trouble and find a spot to hide and regenerate your health back. Both plants and zombies can regenerate health, but only to half of their maximum health. So say the peashooter is at 30 health, he would only regenerate back to 63 health, about half of 125. There are also eight different types of peashooters, which I will talk about a little bit later. Until then enjoy the game. :D
