## **Strategy**

### **Summary**

Guacodile plays as a water plant who can shoot pits against those nasty Bloons. His role is to pop Bloons and he can be planted on both water and land! However, since he's only usable on water maps despite being the only plant to be planted on water and land, he can be used to actually help you out in certain situations. He has some very useful upgrades that can chomp away the Bloons' layers off.

### **Tips**

* **Guacodile** is another good starting plant which can only be used in water maps and can be planted anywhere besides the bloon pathway. It can be used as an alternative to Peashooter for the early game to help you out, but keep in mind that Guacodile does attack slightly slower than Peashooter but does more damage to stronger Bloons.
* **Guacodile** has a lead weakness, so all upgrades and his ability cannot pop them which is kind of unfortunate for him. You can defend Lead Bloons by using Plants that has upgrades to pop Lead Bloons or base plants such as Dandelion and Lightning Reed to help deal with Lead Bloons.
* Just like Peashooter, **Guacodile** falls off mid-late game because even though he can deal bonus damage to Ceramics and MOABs with the high tier upgrades. However, Guacodile is good during the mid-game and early late-game rounds due to his good MOAB damage with the upgrade "Gluttonous Hungry Guacodile".
* What's a good combo is pairing **Guacodile** in conjunction with other good team plants such as Repeater and Lightning Reed. While those plants can help you including Lightning Reed popping those dangerous Lead Bloons, Guacodile can be spammed for DPS with the Gluttonous Hungry Guacodile upgrade equipped whilst Repeater has the Elemental Peas and the Improvised Pea Power upgrades to start stalling Bloons and MOAB class.

## **Version History**

Since the release of PvB, Guacodile has received a big damage buff to his main attack that neglects bonus Ceramic damage until 3rd Tiers and above is bought. His rushing Guacodiles has been buffed to make them more robustly powerful and dangerous, and V2.0 nerfed Guacodile slightly by tuning his base price up a little to compensate for the two layer damage he does per attack. He is a very good plant still, but has a okay usage rate and has some good abilities and upgrades etc.

V1.0
* Base attack damage increased from 1 → 2
* Base attack no longer does +1 bonus damage to Ceramic Bloons (except upgrading to 3-x, x-3 and 4-x).
* Mini Guacodile Mayhem Ability rushing guacodile chomp damage increased from 3 → 4
* Gluttonous Hungry Guacodile rushing guacodile attack chomp damage increased from 4 → 5

V2.0

* Base price increased from $250 → $300.

## **Trivia**

* Guacodile is a plant from the PvZ series, who shoots out avocado pits at attacking zombies, but when they go close to him, he'll rush at them for painful damage against every zombie on his lane.

* Guacodile is the only plant that can be planted on both water and land simultaneously. However, he's only usable in water maps and that's it.
