Commentary:
Normally the Reinforce-Mint plants are all defensive. As such, all such plants are speed bumps. They buy time for the player to set up their defenses. But this comes with a cost - there will be more zombies when these plants are eaten up.

Blockoli is a different type of plant. Blockoli adds some offensive firepower. Blockoli has a nice level of hit points. Immunity from being tossed is good for the beach levels.

Bottom Line:
Get this plant. Level up this plant. Defensive plants generally are not high on anyone's list but this one pulls it weight.

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.
