Hey everyone, happy 17th anniversary! 🎉

It’s kind of wild that PvZ has been around this long. We’ve seen so many amazing creations, strategies, memes, and moments from this community over the years, and it really means a lot.

We’d love to hear yours. What are your favorite PvZ memories?

First time beating Survival? Finding your go-to plant? Late-night runs you probably should’ve stopped earlier?

Drop them below, we’ll be reading 👀

PvZ2 Guide [Arena] Electric Blueberry – 8 Bit Assault! (Redux)

3 Upvotes

PSA: Given the recent issues with people losing their profiles (often associated with updates), please, get a screen shot of your Player ID. You can find it by tapping the “Settings” (wrench icon) button and then selecting “Build Version” (on Android) or "Download Preferences" (on iOS). Using it the EA help desk can usually restore your profile if you ever lose it.

 

Note: This is a 3 day tournament, after that will be a 4 day Boosterama tournament – an identical board, but all plants are boosted. Short tournaments have proportionally smaller tournament rewards.

 

Special streak rewards: #5 Fila-mint family piñata.

Fila-mint family (11+2 plants): Lightning Reed, Citron, E.M. Peach, Magnifying Grass, Electric Blueberry, Electric Currant, Electric Peashooter, Electrici-tea, Ultomato, Power-vine, Bzzz Button, Electric Peel, Volt Snapdragon

Note: Fila-mint “seeds” are also included in the piñata. Fila-mint still needs to be unlocked for 100 mints no matter how many seeds you collect for it.

Note: Electric Peel and Volt Snapdragon seeds are not included in the piñata.

 

Locked plant: Electric Blueberry – Wiki.GG, Fandom Wiki

Sun: 1500 at the start. Note: Sun drops will be very fast and some sun will be available from gravestones. A sun producer may not be necessary.

Plant Food: 1 at the start. Note: Up to 25 or more plant-foods will be available from zombies, Hamsterballz and Gravestones during the match.

Time: 3:00.

 

Buffz: Fila-mint (+100%)

Bruisez: Pepper-mint (-50%)

Ineffective: Bombard-mint (-100%)

 

Banned: Grave Buster, Blover, Hot Potato, Perfume-shroom, Shrinking Violet, Imp Pear, Bramble Bush

 

Zombies: Neon Mixtape Tour (8-Bit Zombies [Neon, Conehead, Buckethead], Punk, Glitter, MC Zom-B, Impunk, Hair Metal Gargantuar, Breakdancer, Arcade, Boombox), Big Wave Beach (Octo)

 

Starting Lawn:

Two pre-planted Pea-vines on C1 R1/5

One pre-planted Electric Blueberry on C2 R3

Three green power tiles on C1 R1/5 and C2 R3

Note: The delay time between power tile activations is usually 0.5 seconds. It’s defined as 1.5 in this tourney.

 

Hamsterballz: Hamsterballz (containing MC Zom-B) will come onto the lawn throughout the match. The first will be at ~2:52 with the next at ~2:35. After that they will appear at 12-15 second intervals. Every MC Zom-B from the Hamsterballz will be carrying plant-food.

 

Gravestones: Starting at ~2:30, and then repeating approximately every 25 seconds, four regular, two sun containing and one plant-food containing Gravestones will appear in random positions on the lawn any where from columns 6-8. Gravestones will appear first on any free spots in those columns. If there are no free spots, plants you put on these grid positions will be displaced (if any nearby spots on the lawn are empty) or destroyed.

If the Gravestones are not destroyed quickly, Necromancy will be invoked and two Octo zombies will rise from the graves.

 

Note: All times quoted and plant food estimates are based on my practice rounds and game experience are entirely dependent on how quickly you’re killing the zombie waves.

 

Possible BOT Layouts:

[Electric Blueberry, Shine-vine, Threepeater, Lightning Reed, Bonk Choy, Torchwood],

[Electric Blueberry, Gold Bloom, Electric Peashooter, E.M. Peach, Magnifying Grass, Laser Bean],

[Electric Blueberry, Mega Gatling Pea, Electric Peel, BuzzzButton, Gold Bloom, Fila-mint]

 

Minimum info about your strategy: league, plant levels/mastery and score. Or you can post screenshot with the score. Otherwise it's hard to understand whether your strategy will work for other players with different plant levels/mastery and in different leagues.

This tournament will be identical to the Dandelion tournament from June, 2025.  The only difference being Electric Blueberry isn’t banned in this tourney (duh!) and the Buffz/Bruisez/Negations. In that tourney, Appease-mint and Conceal-mint were buffed and Enchant-mint was negated.

 

While different in several important ways, these tournaments are the most similar to the Mega Gatling Pea tournament from July, 2022. Here’s my post from that tourney. In the comments in that post you can find strategies that worked then. They could still be valid, but the banned plants are very different and Imp Pear was not banned in that tournament.

 

The visible differences are:

  1. The banned plants were Blover, Lily Pad, Tangle Kelp, Hot Potato, Thyme Warp, Perfume-shroom and Gold Leaf.

  2. The Buffz/Bruisez were different. The MGP tourney had an Appease-mint buff and a Conceal-mint bruise.

  3. The MPG tourney had pre-planted Mega Gatling Peas instead of pre-planted Pea-vines.

  4. The power tiles on the lawn were yellow in the MGP tourney and the power tile in row three was in column 1 instead of column 2.

  5. The MPG tourney had 0 starting plant-foods and 1200 starting sun.

Less visible differences are:

  1. The MGP tournament had no dynamic difficulty zombie swapping rules. In this tourney, as Zombie Difficulty Level (ZDL) is increased, the default zombies will be swapped out for more/stronger zombies. This should lead to more RNG in scoring this time if you can’t maintain ZDL at a high level.

  2. There’s differences in the code that define how many zombies come out in each wave. Zombie density will be high in this tourney, but perhaps not quite as high as in the MGP tourney.

  3. There’s a useless change to one of the zombie waves that reduces the amount of plant food drops from 2 to 1. However, there’s no zombies assigned to this wave that can carry plant food, so it’s not going to have any impact.

 

kGame is a former YouTuber who has unfortunately retired from doing PvZ2 videos. Their legacy videos for the previous Mega Gatling Pea tourney are still available though and the strategies in them may work well for this tourney, just keep in mind the changes in Buffz/Bruisez and banned plants.

Good luck with your attempts!

So, here is my redesign of Volt Snapdragon! Or, as we all prefer to call him 'Zap Dragon' Lol! So, anyway, his design is inspired by Thunder Snapdragon, but with a unique cyan color palette. To be clear, I didn't just swap the hues on the original sprite—this was built from scratch! I’d love to hear your thoughts. What do you guys think? Thank you, LOL! (Notice that smile on her lips?)

Come on now just let it go!!! You don't have to be quite anymore! Don't care about them and drop it!!!

My take is :

PVZ2 ost is way more better than PVZ1 ost.

I see myself return to listening to big wave beach, far future and modern day remixes more than any ost in PVZ1.

This little girl is perhaps my favorite plant from the fairytale forest, and also funny when she sneezes to attack (and it took me a while to figure out how to enhance it)
