Plants vs Zombies 2 - Zomboss - Seedium Plant Showcase - Goo Peashooter - July 2023

Goo Peashooter was offered from July 19. 2023 through July 26, 2023.

Goo Peashooter is a member of the Ail-Mint family.
Goo Peashooter costs 125 Sun. (-25 Sun at level 6 )
Goo Peashooter fires poisoned peas. Each pea does 30 damage.
Zombies hit this way will take an additional three (3) damage per second. (+1 damage at level 8.)
Zombies hit by poisoned peas will be slowed by 2% per stack. (+1% at level 4.)
Zombies can have a maximum of 25 stacks of poison. (+1 stack per level.)

The Good:
• Zombies which are poisoned stay poisoned - unless cleansed by a Healer zombie.
• Goo Peashooter's glop can also slow zombies.

The Bad:
• Like other shooters, Goo Peashooter only targets a single zombie at a time. So it can be over run.
• Zombies poisoned this way are still a threat. It can take some time until the poison turns the zombie harmless.

Commentary:
Goo Peashooter is not a bad plant. It's a decent value. There is something amusing about poisoning zombies to re-death.

In many games, poison is a slow death. It does damage over time but not quickly enough. Compare poisoning an enemy vs burning an enemy - poison slowly kills enemies while fire quickly eliminates enemies.

While PvZ2 has no burning effect - the results are the same. Zombies are still a threat until they receive a certain number of poison stacks - as to which case their movement speed slows down and another zombie overtakes them.

The other problem is that while Goo Peashooter is not a bad plant, there are so many BETTER plants. Bombard-Mint plants like Cherry Bomb do 1,800 of instant damage. Mega Gatling Pea (MGP) at level 2 costs the same as three (3) Goo Peashooters. MGP will do 120 vs 90 damage - and has a 3% chance to activate its plant food effect. Laser Bean costs a bit more - 200 Sun - but does 40 + 10 damage to every zombie in the lane.

Bottom Line:
Goo Peashooter is not a bad plant. It should be added to your collection. But one also should not go out of their way to maximize getting seeds either.

We do not get a preview of Penny's Pursuit before it is released. So what you see is what players get.

We also try to vary the strategies from week to week and showcasing different plants and strategies and ideas. Using the same strategy week after week would be boring to see.
