Commentary:
Frostbite Caves is an area where some players have difficulty. It's not because the levels are particularly difficult but the level's mechanic - freezing winds - does not have a reliable core counter. Hot Potato only works on one plant. Jalapeño has a long recharge. Pepper-pult and Torchwood can take a long time to thaw a frozen plant. Enter Pyre Vine.

The ability to never be frozen literally can save a level. How many times has a chicken or weasel hit the house because all the plants were frozen and no ice melting option was available? It's happened to us way too many times.

Bottom Line:
Outside of Frostbite Caves, Pyre Vine is average. The damage is a little less than you would like. The cost is a little more than you would like. But in the end, this is a specialty plant - made to counter Freezing Winds and snowballs thrown by Hunter zombies. To get this ability in a vine makes this a nice specialty plant to obtain.

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.
