Plants vs. Bloons

**Plants vs. Bloons** is a mod created by Otheruser325. Although it replaces monkeys and non-monkey towers by plants from the game Plants vs. Zombies. Each plant has its own skills and abilities to help you pop the bloons but they do have weaknesses in addition.

Major updates to Plants vs. Bloons usually focus on implementing balance changes to plants, at least adding more content to Card Battles, sometimes new plants, and more.

Tons of new plants were added after the mod's initial release: such as Nightshade (v2.0), Draftodil (v3.0), Fume-shroom (v4.0), Bonk Choy (v5.5), Peanut (v7.0), Rotobaga (v8.0) and more.

## **Gameplay**

### **Main gameplay**

Gameplay is basically the same as Bloons TD Battles overall. The core gameplay is to defeat your opponent while building up Plants to destroy adversarial Bloons from getting through the exits of a specific map. Plants can be upgraded to increase their overall strength, but upgrades costs filthy lucre if you want to make a specific plant stronger. Each plant plays a special role in the battlefield, they have different stats, different attacks and abilities, and strengths/weaknesses as well.

Plants vs. Bloons introduces many new key aspects compared to Battles 1, including new Bloon types and PvZH variant plants and also upgrade Plants. DDTs from Bloons Monkey City also return in Plants vs. Bloons. The mod also introduces the B.A.D (Big Airship of Doom) from Bloons TD 6 which is immune to any form of slowdown, knockback, or instakill and the infamously known **Spamton NEO** (from Deltarune) which is a Boss Bloon which can be battled against in a secret game mode combination in Custom Club (Idk why **SNEO** is in BTD Battles but whatever!).

Just like in the vanilla game, players can buy exclusive bloon decals in PvB such as the Plants vs. Zombies logo decal, the Peashooter decal and more.

## **Tips and Tricks**

* Bring Sunflowers. Sunflower is cheap in terms of cost and makes 50 sun every 25 seconds, but for full efficiency, you need to stall the rounds. Farms don't requires stalling the rounds if necessary, because they make bananas that you can collect in a round. Farms has been removed in the 2.0 update, making Sunflowers the only plant to produce money for you.

* Bring early game destroyer plants. Plants such as Peashooter can help out during the early game with his good upgrades, but he quickly falls off early late game.

* You can use many other combinations of plants such as Threepeater with Torchwood and others you can do to actually wreak bloon havoc. Mainly good for mid game, but the right comps can get you to late game.

* Since upgrade plants are introduced into the game, plants like Fume-shroom might be really strong because of it. They are really good late game, keep in mind that some of them do have weaknesses of course.
