Mermadill, for being an aquatic plant is a bit generic to see as a aquatic plant. When on land, you cannot plant her without water because the other worlds don't have any water. If you have an , you can plant that surround him. Her attack is pretty decent, making her attack time is a bit fast to other zombies. However, not bad for a counter to , but for , this makes her & Aqua Vine will be smacked over the lawn. However, she can damage directly, ignores 's futuristic shield, and good against because she can deal tons of damage within bubbles unless you level her up. But sometimes, in Wild West, when there is a horde of , that might be a big waste of time.
Mermaidill's greatest choice is Big Wave Beach, due to the levels have water on the right side. You don't need a or to plant her since there is water. , , , , , , , , , , and are best for her.
In , you eventually bring your in every weekly level, and especially the bosses. Also, Mermaidill in , this will be hard for her if the Arena has puddles or so. However, her close-range ability which knockbacks zombies can be possibly blown away by .
In the Chinese version, Mermaidill can be planted on both land & water. Because of no logic to this game, so one another aquatic plant, is outclassed by her, because of her close-ranged ability. If you may wondering how this plant is noticeably a bit similar to Narcissus Shooter, probability because of her can be planted on both land & water, and also both are Super Rare plants, have 15 seconds of recharge, and they attack with bubbles. Mermaidill's second ability is to slap zombies that knockback and bounces off is pretty unique, but you can't blow away with . In that case, her bubbles can extinguish , but for , it literally explodes automatically due the water boiled up completely, and this is was an oversight. Elite Zombies like or can be easily to take down UNLESS you have a sun producer in Memory Lane's hard mode. In that case, Mermaidill was completely balcklisted in Two-Player Mode probably because her level upgrades attack zombies in full board. But...you can't bring Mermaidill in Sky City because there's no water, and her close-ranged, so she was useless in this world. So what's apparently good is she can counter due to the shell being close, automatically break the shell and easily defeated by piercing bubbles.
And here is the analysis of the plant: stats.
250 sun, really? It feels the plant has the same price as the Modern PvZ2 plants. Recharge time, um, eh... (Narcissus Shooter). Damage, it's alright. The range of this plant is great but can you imagine how this plant is not ? Her close-ranged attack is unique, probably because of her mermaid tail to slap any zombie to zombie. Due to lack of Submerge-mint, Spear-mint is the choice for being a piercing plant. In that case, this plant is quite nice, being a better with 15 second recharge, and for being a aquatic plant like the other plants. (examples: Lotus Pod, Guacodile, Cattail, Narcissus Shooter, SeaFlora, Electric Peel, Guard-shroom)
