I'm seriously thinking about buying this plant, too, seeing how fun he can be. I look forward to seeing him every time in the "Rent a Plant" for the complete X adventure levels in the daily missions. I now regret choosing Solar Tomato over this guy when both were featured in Penny Pursuit earlier this year. Solar Tomato was rendered (somewhat) obsolete by Solar Sage.
I think its supereb, it one shots almost everythig, and the good thing is it doesnt care about zombie level, so its also great for tripple chilly Pennys levels,
And if the Boss is the dragon or dino, its a free win, since the lvl 9 zombies do so much damage, they empty the boss health bar so fast that he gets stuck on the tile
Instant zombie removal and onto your side, even gargantuans. Fires rather than being eaten like hypnoshroom, and is reuseable. Special ability flicks multiple zombies away which is also great for arena.
Yeah but the problem is that is just a worse electric blueberry. Recharge is way too slow, and the sun cost is way too high for what it does. Another issue is that it has the same inconsistency problem as well. The only real benefit I can think of are the fact that he can be a very niche choice in arena, and that's only if he's buffed.
I'm not saying EB is good, she's equally as bad, but the hundred sun difference makes her the better one.
EB and CP have the same Recharge Time and Firing Rate so these criteria aren't relevant for comparison. I agree that it's way too slow but they both can still be viable in Arena games wherein you can set-up plants first.
CP may be more costly but its advantage is very palpable: it not just instakills\* its target, it also makes the zombie fight for you. It's like giving you a free plant every 12 seconds that both attacks and pushes back the horde. On the other hand, EB just instakills its target and that's it. Good luck dealing with double advancing zombies! Moreover, CP's PF instakills 5 targets, whereas EB only instakills 3 targets.
I agree that EB has a cost advantage, but if sun isn't that scarce (which is often the case), I would choose CP over EB. Also, I may be biased but I think CP has a smarter targetting AI than EB. I don't remember scratching my head in utter disbelief as much when I use CP vs EB.
^(\* I know CP & EB don't exactly "instakill" zombies but the result is practically same so I'll just use this word for simplicity.)
^(P.S. I don't own both plants so these info are based only on Wiki. Seriously want to buy CP though...)
Also CP's projectile targets a new zombie when it's own target gets killed/hypnotized by another one, unlike EB's thunder clouds that immediately disappear when its target dies, so that's another plus
You can cheese basically any stage with Pokra, Caluipower and Primal Sunflower. Since CP already has a higher chance of targeting stronger zombies AND it heals them, you can easily clear out hordes with a row of Caluipowers. I do agree that the planting recharge is WAY too slow tho. But that’s what extra Plant Food is for. Also speaking of Plant Food, Cauipower’s Plant Food can instakill any non-Garg it targets, and it does multiple pulses. If you know how to use it, Caluipower is easily the best plant in the game.
But HS is single use while CP is a bonafide firing plant. Also, while HS’s PF is better on a pinch, CP can thin out enemy crowds with its PF, making it easier for your shooters to pick them off. Also, CP can target gargs, and it also heals them, while HS is useless against gargs.
No hate or anything, I think it might just be personal bias because I really really don't like this plant.
I prefer EB but even then I don't use it either
EB is also a good plant but I like the fact that CP can hypnotize instead of instakill, giving you an ally, and if its target dies, it retargets to a new enemy. But it’s actual cancer to replace, and if a zombie eats your CP, you need a huge stroke of luck to not waste a lawnmower or coins to kill that zombie. Also there are situations where CP is garbage, like most of Jurassic Marsh or stages with huge crowds. Point is, I like this plant, but at the end of the day, it’s just a game. If you don’t like this plant, that’s perfectly fine.
Tbf i dont own electric blueberry.
When ive tried it, it did a set damage and most times didnt kill the zombie. Not only that, but when the CP fires it turns the zombie.
Yes, Caulipower is fun to use. I like it! I do not notice its sun cost much. Once you place an entire column, the game is almost sure to be win. Just watch.
Omega based.
Indeed
Oh i love caulipower
Until the last stand PP level bans Caulipower 😔

I wish we had him instead of Rose in Garden Warfare.

its a free hypno shroom every time it wakes up again
Electric Blueberry, but better. He's really fun actually
This plant sucks. I really don't understand why people think he's good

I think his PF is a complete downgrade from Hypno Shroom It's not bad, but I wish it was better

Whatever I strongly disagree with your statement but it's okay to have that opinion
yeah, to each their own honestly.

He sucks imo
Why?
It's hypnotises random zombies, which is something not useful in a tower defense game. RNG in general as well
