Plants vs Zombies 2 - Plant of the Week - Stickybomb Rice - August 2024

35 Stickybomb Rice seeds are awarded for completing this event consisting of five (5) levels.

Plant of the Week - Stickybomb Rice - was offered between August 10, 2024 through August 17, 2024.

Stickybomb Rice is a member of the Arma-Mint family.
Stickybomb Rice costs 225 Sun. (-25 Sun at levels 2, 4, and 7.)
Stickybomb Rice lobs a clump of rice at a single zombie in a lane it is in, or the lane above or below it.
This clump of sticky rice will completely stop the zombie.
After 1.25 seconds, this rice will explode. (+0.75 seconds on levels 3, 5, 7 and 9.)
When this rice clump explodes, it will do 40 damage (+ 15 damage per level) to all zombies within 1.5 tiles (+ 0.025 tiles per level) of said zombie.

Commentary:
It's easy to dislike Stickybomb Rice:
• It does not target fliers.
• It can be overwhelmed by chickens and weasels.
• It is quite expensive.
But:
• Not many plants target fliers. You can use Draftodil for fliers.
• Many plants can get overwhelmed by chickens and weasels. Use Lightning Reed or a spiked plant for fast zombies.
• Stickybomb Rice does cost a lot but one column of Stickybomb Rice can pretty much clear a level.

Bottom Line:
This plant does not get a lot of love and we do not see why. Stickybomb Rice's weaknesses can be handled quite easily. We recommend obtaining and leveling this plant.
