Top 5 BEST and WORST GEMIUM PLANTS! | Plants vs. Zombies 2

They should make more plants gemium instead of limited time grindy seed packets

I have never seen someone mention this but when a zombie is shrunken by shrinking violet, drafodill can blow them away one shoting them, this even applies to gargantuars. Overall the synergy with shrinking violet and draftodill is crazy

Interesting how that makes Squash, Fire Peashoote, and Lava Guava the most average gemium plants

I think Torchwood is underrated. A plant that doubles damage of peas, a mini jalapeño when destroyed, a tanky plant that also has endurian gimmick. I think Torchwood is so versatile that you don't even need to take a pea plant to make it good. Also a 1 25 sun cause is just broken. Also 5s recharge is broken considering its defense capabilities.

Elite gamer strat: Use Sweet Potato to attract zombies from the pirate seas that come from the planks and plant a half lane with the sea on the right side of it and plant a whole row of Primal Peashooters behind Sweet Potato. Bucket heads, barrel heads, pirate zombies, and gargantuars will instantly die in that lane by falling in the water. For some reason, barrel roller zombie isn’t attracted, so you’d have to plant some Spike Rocks or Fume Shrooms on the planks if he shows up, but besides that, amazing strat and it honestly makes me love the Pirate Seas and Sweet Potato way more!

For me ghost pepper is straight up broken. It's insane how quickly it recharges and makes it very good at dealing with zombies that broke through your defences without worrying about the recharge

hypno Can infinitely hypnotize animals actually.

It's not really fair to knock points from Thistle for having weaknesses when used on its own. By that logic, Shrinking Violet is bad for not killing things on its own. Of course you play them with complementary options, and Homing Thistle is perfect as a secondary attacker, helping out more vulnerable lanes and assisting harder to use plants like Bowling Bulb by taking care of stragglers. It even managed to get value for me in Penny's Pursuit against zombies with boosted levels, so it absolutely carries its weight. Personally not a fan of the plant food though, just because it feels like half the projectiles struggle to find a target.

I find it funny how peanut is actually one of the better gemiums to invest in outside of adventure. Especially since he used to be the definition of op in arena/penny.

I think sweet potato is actually pretty good because it makes it so you only need two of them per lane and they can bring zombies into spikerocks and pyre vines, making it so you don’t need as many of them. It can also brings zombies into the middle lanes (top middle and bottom middle), giving it a synergy with plants that attack multiple enemies once.

I am personally a big fan of Homing Thistle as it can ignore obstacles, though it does need support due to its homing ability only targeting the zombie closest to the house. A good support for it is something that can shoot multiple lanes (Lightning Reed, Threepeater, Apple Mortar being some that I can think of)

As a frequent user of Reinforce-mint I would say Peanut is one of the strongest gemium plants (see how situational each of these rankings is now?). Especially with a lack of leveling on my gemium plants, using Reinforce-mint with Peanut is always effective, especially with the boost given to EVERY peanut which would make this worthwhile even with high level Pea-nuts.

I really like E Currant, it's a shame he got nerfed hard, so that #1 spot is deserved

#3 Sap-fling. Oh yeah. Finally, some Sap-fling appreciation 7:35 That's rough dude. But I'm kinda glad it's not just me. For me, it only seems to crash when Wifi is on (which sucks as most of the post-adventure gameplay needs Wifi) Out of curiosity, who remembers when Sweet Potato's cost was randomly changed from 100 gems to $24.99 CA? (BTW this was for the plant by itself, not a bundle) It was changed back but not even the most understanding person can justify that Also, get well soon dude. Take care

I’ve really been enjoying your more recent videos! Just wondering when will the last part of the 1 seed slot release? Keep up the work 🎉

I was preparing to defend sap-fling but then I saw it as third best. Finally someone recognizes that this plant is good, both for early and late stages of the level.

It's so nice to see Sap-Fling among the best, it's one of my personal favourites and I think it is quite underrated

A recent update buffed hypno shroom, any animal minion that starts eating it are instantly hypnotized without hypno shroom disappearing

Pea-nut is useful as a middle-ground protector. They should be close to the front line, but behind something like a wall-nut. They can be placed in the middle three columns for great synergy with other wall plants.

Lava Guava is really good too, a great plant with high damage, splash damage, and an incredible plant food effect.
