«Back to Plants vs. Zombies 2 Guides List
Tips to Remember!
- Play Lost City Quick Walkthrough and Strategy Guide first before this guide!
Phat Beet
- Attacks a 3x3 square from their position, with nice attack speed and cool-down too.
Cactus
- Another cool plant, fires piercing attacks, then hides and does ground damage when zombies are near. Even better when PF is used, giving them extra damages.
Celery Stalker
- Hides, and attacks zombies from behind. Needs an empty tile before it though to attack, and it's not good vs group of zombies.
Thyme Warp
- Sends all zombies back from where that came from, single use.
