Plants vs. Zombies 2 PLANT TIER LIST 2023

In this video, I construct a tier list of every adventure mode plant in PvZ2. This is a script I'd been sitting on for a long time and wanted to turn into a full video for y'all to enjoy! This is also why some of the information in the video is outdated, such as when I stated that Gold Leaf costs zero sun.

Thanks for watching! Consider following these
and/or checking out my second channel!

I wrote the script for this video a while ago and had been sitting on it for ages and I thought now was a good time to unearth it and make it a full video since it's been a while since the last upload. That's also why some info is outdated which I've only just realised now. Eg. Gold Leaf doesn't cost zero sun anymore. And some of my opinions have shifted a little since I wrote the video but not too much. I appreciate all of you for returning after however long it's been since my last (non-meme) video. Means a lot to me :D

Need a premium plant tier list where you go over Gold Bloom, Cold Snapdragon, and Grapeshot

[fatherplatypus]

I feel like Stunion should be A tier. Despite having sun cost, it affects multiple zombies and stun them, and it synergize with any plants

[elusory]

Bloomerang is actually the only plant i have consitently used throughout the first couple worlds in this game. The piercing shots just makes it super valuable in my opinion. I really expected it to be ranked higher.

[lukeracer]

PVZ devs after creating Phat Beet: This is fine.

[roosquare]

Thyme Warp should be an S tier because of the sheer power of being able to reset and bunch up zombies. It costs the same as the Gemium plant Hurrikale but resets the entire board.

[GritterTheBuckethead]

I disagree with the stunion ranking, and I even think he’s better than iceberg. Having 1x2 stun aoe doesn’t seem like a lot, but when you don’t have to worry about the wrong zombie being stunned all for a 25 cost really has it’s use. Sun is as common as dirt here, so the trade off doesn’t hurt him much. He’s A tier if you ask me.

[los-lobos]

Time for some criticism! Sorry if I’m too harsh…

Bonk Choy is definitely B tier at least-
However mine is level 4 which can solo a Conehead so my opinion isn’t really valid

Coconut Cannon definitely a B+ tier plant
Not only can you get Sun really quickly in PvZ2 but splash damage means you only need 2 and a few other offensive plants - like the kernel-Pult which should be A tier

Threepeater - again “high sun cost” 300 is not high, even a row (or 2 even) of Winter Melon’s are doable as long as you use a lot of Sun producers which is also fine because they can be used as mini wall-nuts
However, I do agree with D tier because the plant food ability is terrible

Chili bean is a must bring in some levels - Jurassic Marsh and up will sometimes start with a conehead - B or even A tier
Edit: I overrate Chili bean way too much - I agree with C tier now lol

Stunion can stun multiple plants, are you sure it gets “overshadowed” by iceberg lettuce? Definitely Stallia but Iceberg lettuce?

Gold Leaf = F tier no questions asked

Magnifying Grass needs a nerf, S tier

Phat-Beet C tier

[Jakewebmaster]

13:11 you can stack sun bean with very tough zombies to get up to 1, 000 sun with stalling plants.

I got a question. Why did u put Bonk Choy below Gold leaf, Grave Buster and Stunion? Even at lvl 1 Bonk Choy is a very solid plant in my opinion and u don't really need to put wall nuts in front of it. I've beaten lots of levels with it at lvl 1 without much struggle and the sun wasn't a problem at all. Plus it can help you in Wild West and Jurassic Marsh a lot, so I don't see a reason why to put it below the plants mentioned earlier.

[treetsakarestos]

This is a minor nitpick, But the primary stream of the threepeater’s plant food does higher damage than the peashooter plantfood, so no, it is pretty good, especially if the enemy is point blank

[Vlyg]

now that there's an update where you can use gold leaf and thyme warp outside of their home worlds, I think gold leaf is kinda niche cause of its TERRIBLE recharge time, thyme warp is indeed very broken.

[thunderspark]

Bowling bulb isn't as bad as many think, it just requires more usage of instas to handle the buildup of bulbs.

Deep, but not very loud. I don't know if you cut some of it out or not, so I don't know how long it lasted either. B tier.

[greculeanu]

I feel like this video is missing some soap cutting or jiggling keys, but it's still pretty good.
Jokes aside, I agree with most of your picks, nice video

[MtgamingYT]

I would like to see a premium tier list. Maybe add an s+ tier and just use this list to show how busted some of them (caugh caugh epea, agrapeshot, goldbloom, caugh caugh) are

[MKLct]

Hey, today Koala Gold Leaf and Thyme Warp got a buff, which makes it able to be used anywhere now. So I wonder how you'll think about it right now.

[Flowery]

1 - I'd put lightning reed in B tier. It's definitely overrated, but it can carry you up to the Jurassic marsh(that's how i first got there the first time)
2 - as a iceberg lettuce worshiper turned stunion cultist, here's what i have to say: comparing it to the iceberg lettuce, instead of stunning 1 zombie, it stuns everything in 2 squares(on top of itself and 1 square in front), which helps a lot when used outside of stalling out the first zombies, for a price of 25 sun on a 20 second recharge (functionally)instant plant, which is basically nothing(it will amount to, like, 200 sun even if you just spam it everywhere instead of upgrading your defense, though in my experience it's more like 100 in exchange for, like, 10 ice lettuces, 9 of which are placed in a burst on a dangerous group of zombies) and a worse plant food. Oh, and also you can use it with fire plants, which you can't do with the lettuce for thawing reasons
3 - as someone who unlocked rotobaga and decided that this is my strategy now - yep, the strat of just spamming it is close to falling apart mid-lost city unless you have a good stalling plant(all hail the sapfling)
3 - another reason why edurian can be better than wallnut+spikeweed is because of seedslots
4 - the only real problem with stallia is that it doesn't stack with other stalls. So for me stunion is better because ALL HAIL SAPFLING
5 - luckily, what you said about sun leaf did not age well. Still, it isn't too good because of 50 second recharge. It's so not too good, that i think that i'll use it in my future "there's no place for sun producers feat. sun bean" strat
6 - if you are playing around the magnifying grass, you don't even need stalls. You just need to not forget plant sun producers at all times. And forget you will due to you specifically(the one reading this comment, i forgot what your name is and you are too far for me to ask) sucking at multitasking
7 - after that one level in lost city with the premium frog, sun bean and puff shroom, where i actually played around using the sun bean, it feels more like c tier. Still, it's pretty fun and i'll use it later
8 - guys, is thyme warp broken now?
9 - again, you are underselling the ancient potat. It also has a faster recharge than a cherry bomb and deals more damage, which is relevant for gargantuars
10 - i heard that if you play around the bowling bulb(clean the lane up with instas after the 3rd shot) it's actually pretty good. And also that big wave beach is, like, the worst world for it. And the guy saying that only consideres lvl 1 plants
11 - guacodile is basically a 5 second recharge jalapeno that has a misleading peashooter attack

[Red_Biker_Dude]

I mostly agree, but I feel like you underrate sun bean a little. You just put it in D tier without explanation. Sun bean can be a great early game secondary sun producer. If a level uses a lot of tanky zombies early on, sun bean can help you produce a lot of sun. Sure, most of the time it's better to use a better plant instead of using a seed slot for sun bean, but if you have an empty seed slot and you don't know what to put in it, sun bean is always a decent option. C tier, in my opinion.
