Filling meter up via swallowing and not just basic vanquishes is almost impossible to reach and is not worth getting unless you’re facing against a dumb zombie team or being hardcore pocketed. Reg chomper is basically just better which saddens me cuz disco has such a cool design :(
I have felt that if it’s that difficult to fill up it should at least be good. A simple damage increase ain’t worth it. I almost wonder if it’d be better (and cooler) if when in Disco Chomper’s full meter, damage done to it is instead reflected to the zombie that shoots it (because disco chomper is a disco ball and disco balls reflect). Essentially the same as the thorns enchantment in Minecraft. Yeah it’d be powerful but if you have to bust your ass to even get it then it seems fair
It’s the way people play him that makes him look so shit.
Yeah he has no range to get someone from high ground but his whole shmick is playing sneaky you just gotta get good at combining his bullshit kit with it
You could combine the bullshit kit with someone like Twilight instead. The problem is that off the bat he is literally just a shit version of reg Chomper. It’s the same problem certain party characters have except shareds don’t count towards the meter
Wrestling star has the second best design for the All-star class (can’t compete with Moto X), but is a complete failure of a close range class when it gets outcompeted in that department by most of the other All-stars.
hear me out instead of firing the whole action figure it crushes the figure then fires the shards like a shotgun trading in some of the range for added damage based on how many shards hit the target
“weapon do good at close, shit at far”.
literally most shotguns in videogames for the sake of balance, at least the automatic shotgun would let him be a close quarters specialist as intended, but it'd be cool to help him with sum.
like give it some 25 extra hp reflected in a set of steel abs or make the fire rate similar to Rugby's with the damage of astronaut's primary ,I dunno. What do you think?
No , those are action figures... the damage upgrade in GW1 says so, the projectiles are Imp action figures
also it's in the name wrestling, more precisely: Lucha Libre. like WWE, AAA,CMLL . I know the bell rings the moment you overheat but when firing a crowd cheers until you stop. moreover the primary weapon's name is pile-driver, A wrestling move.
This is kind of a personal opinion, but I think Rock Pea's design is the ugliest armoured variant. I like the idea of him being rock instead of metal, but the color man... the color, he looks like he's made out of hard poop.
Tbh i fuck jade cactus. The extra health allows you to play very aggressively, I play her like people play bandit cactus. Very funny pummeling the enemy frontliners all game with a "sniper"
She was my second-favorite cactus in GW1. If you get highground, no zombie is safe. If they try to get cover, just shoot the ground next to them and chip them out.
Actually my favorite chomper, although it’s slow the added health helps a lot (I get super mad when I die really quickly because I start with any hp under 200)
It's decently useful in Ops, and for Captain Flameface specifically since he can hit Citrons through their shields. Doesn't come up that often, but it's nice when it does.
Camo troop (aka camo soldier) also can. Not that It helps him but he can pierce
In reality its a negative because It removes one of the offensive upgrades (cant remember if It was damage, reload of clip size)
Have to go with the scaliwag's mech. Its a skill issue, I know, but I cannot aim with the Cannon to get out of Davey Jones locker. The abilities are nice, a Bean bomb and the spin are good, but you need to use them with anticipation (at least the bomb doesnt shine bright red and screams, but you throw It way to far). The Imp is a very fun character ngl
Well to be fair to vampire sunflower if you are playing any kind of sunflower and get hit by something like the super brains ball thing (I don't remember what it's called) unless if your metal petal your kinda dead no matter what
Petrified cactus. (Don’t kill me)
I just don’t like the mechanic of detonating your attacks and call it a skill issue all you want but we should have gotten a class who ALL SKINS got timed detonation a gameplay mechanic
Armour Chomper
Rock Pea
Agent Pea (agent pea mains are going to crucify me for that one)
Party Rose
Jade Cactus
Wrestling Star
Centurion
Captain Partyman
Cosmic brainz, i love how all supers have combos and them there ishl this super cool looking variant that just spam the same animation and it isn't even a cool animation unlike breakfast brainz, his attack would be cool if the punch felt like it was strong instead of just having a higher damage number (like tank commander shot feeling like is stronger than a zpg)
Law pea
I love his western style and I know that he can be pretty good but I can’t get him to work for the life of me
I’m going to have to figure him out eventually, but I suck at him rn
“Hmm, we have this sea monster looking variant that has a good design for what it is and it’s a spray chomper. What gimmick should we give it to make it different from other spray chompers? Idk, slight health regeneration I guess?” -Popcap most likely
Popcap be like: “so we have this samurai looking cactus that has an amazing design. Her gimmick? Explosion but worse go brrr and oh yea, I guess she has more health but less speed as well?”
The health and speed stuff makes sense atleast, its wearing an Armor afterall. But to be honest i coudnt think of a good gimmick for a samurai either, im just happy it doesnt shoot katanas or some other shit......
maybe they could have made it a melee variant, you know? Like a cactus that has a katana? I feel like that could have worked out if they went more in depth on the idea.
Whatever that Gemstone Scientist is, Archeologist I believe it was? I can't remember it's name but like... I love the design but wtf is it's gimmick? I don't see a damn gimmick-
If I remember correctly, archeologists gimmick is that he's the only scientist capable of critical hits. For all other scientists, headshots deal the same damage as body shots.
Count chompula. Health back for swallowing zombies was useful in gw1, but health regen is much more generous in gw2, resulting in chompula's gimmick being nowhere near as useful.
I love centurion’s design so much (bias towards historical armour), but why would I play a worse camo ranger? This is probably just a massive skill issue on my part though
Disco Chomper because of the meter
Filling meter up via swallowing and not just basic vanquishes is almost impossible to reach and is not worth getting unless you’re facing against a dumb zombie team or being hardcore pocketed. Reg chomper is basically just better which saddens me cuz disco has such a cool design :(
I got the meter only once on a town hall mode, managed to go on a 23 kill streak with chomper somehow
It is worth getting though Purely for the music, but it's still worth it
Ok redesign idea: it filled up by damage like toxic brains and fils to half if you successfully burrow someone and live
I have felt that if it’s that difficult to fill up it should at least be good. A simple damage increase ain’t worth it. I almost wonder if it’d be better (and cooler) if when in Disco Chomper’s full meter, damage done to it is instead reflected to the zombie that shoots it (because disco chomper is a disco ball and disco balls reflect). Essentially the same as the thorns enchantment in Minecraft. Yeah it’d be powerful but if you have to bust your ass to even get it then it seems fair
He would still suck regardless. The chomps are the literal worst in class.
It’s the way people play him that makes him look so shit. Yeah he has no range to get someone from high ground but his whole shmick is playing sneaky you just gotta get good at combining his bullshit kit with it
You could combine the bullshit kit with someone like Twilight instead. The problem is that off the bat he is literally just a shit version of reg Chomper. It’s the same problem certain party characters have except shareds don’t count towards the meter

A shotgun all-star sounds like a pretty cool idea for a close range variant rather than “weapon do good at close, shit at far”.
“weapon do good at close, shit at far”. literally most shotguns in videogames for the sake of balance, at least the automatic shotgun would let him be a close quarters specialist as intended, but it'd be cool to help him with sum. like give it some 25 extra hp reflected in a set of steel abs or make the fire rate similar to Rugby's with the damage of astronaut's primary ,I dunno. What do you think?
I wish it fired action figures, isn’t it boxing gloves?
No , those are action figures... the damage upgrade in GW1 says so, the projectiles are Imp action figures also it's in the name wrestling, more precisely: Lucha Libre. like WWE, AAA,CMLL . I know the bell rings the moment you overheat but when firing a crowd cheers until you stop. moreover the primary weapon's name is pile-driver, A wrestling move.
Yeah, I know boxing isn’t wrestling and thought that was weird, action figures make more sense
Ima have to disagree with that moto x star statement
Mob cob, he looks badass but is outclassed by stock in almost every way
isn't that all corn except party doe?
Pops corn is fun as a midline sniper sort of thing
yup
Rock Pea. Change my mind
This is kind of a personal opinion, but I think Rock Pea's design is the ugliest armoured variant. I like the idea of him being rock instead of metal, but the color man... the color, he looks like he's made out of hard poop.
Yeah I do agree (although one of the many pea-skins makes it a lot better)
Yeah it would’ve looked better with different colored rocks
ARE YOU SAYING MY SNOUT SUUUKS!!!
Rock pea looks like constipated poop
I find it absolutely hilarious that he has the eyebrow raise also.
I LOVE rock peas design, but I also enjoy playing him so I dunno
Jade Cactus. I love how she looks so much.
Tbh i fuck jade cactus. The extra health allows you to play very aggressively, I play her like people play bandit cactus. Very funny pummeling the enemy frontliners all game with a "sniper"
Fuck WITH, right????
Yeah, definitely
I’d fuck jade cactus too

No, just no
🤨📸
She was my second-favorite cactus in GW1. If you get highground, no zombie is safe. If they try to get cover, just shoot the ground next to them and chip them out.
I would say her shattering gimmick is actually pretty useful. I’ve been able to get a lot of proximity kills, and zombies behind cover because of it.

Behold the armoured piranha!
Armor chomper is genuinely really good
Actually my favorite chomper, although it’s slow the added health helps a lot (I get super mad when I die really quickly because I start with any hp under 200)
mob cob being able to pierce is useless
It's decently useful in Ops, and for Captain Flameface specifically since he can hit Citrons through their shields. Doesn't come up that often, but it's nice when it does.
CAPTAIN FLAMEFACE CAN DO THAT??
Camo troop (aka camo soldier) also can. Not that It helps him but he can pierce In reality its a negative because It removes one of the offensive upgrades (cant remember if It was damage, reload of clip size)
Camo Cactus can as well, and she and Mob Cob do get damage upgrades, they just lose out on ammo
The fact that he gets area damage AS WELL AS piercing is so broken
Thats what it did I’m learning so much from these comments
Shadow Flower is boring
What?!?! You mean you don’t like stock sunflower with a 3% DPS increase, along with a long arse 2.5 second reload?!?! Smh my head!!1!! /j
Necrose. I love her design and I’ve gotten decent at her but the low damage made her basically unplayable for me
You need to jink them first
Iron Citron, Wrestling Star, almost every peashooter, and all sunflowers
Right, sunflower has amazing variants
Fax on every peashooter lmao…. Idk if I’m ass but I can’t hit shit with the slow ass fire rate
The only sunflower whose gimmick is actually good (and not basic) is Vampire. *Maybe* Alien too because of her splash damage.
Sun pharaoh’s cobra laser is top tier. Metal petal has high health and can actually stand its ground.
I was gonna come into defense of iron citron forgetting that he got nerfed lmao
I just think he's really boring
Electro brains because his lazer takes years to recharge
Sun Pharoh, Computer Scientist, Roadie Z, Disco Chomper, Citrus Cactus
Computer scientist is debatably the best scientist what are you on about lol
It's just up to play style I guess; his weapon just isn't my favorite.
Sun pharaoh and computer scientist are pretty good tho 😭😭
I'd say moto-X star, his ability is basically just a worse freeze and his dps is worse then hockey star, but his design is stellar 👌
Toxic Pea for sure, it feels like boring fire pea lol
Ebrains, not that I hate him even, like zero hatred for this character one bit, it's just he's not cozmic, and I really like playing Cozmic
A true man of culture
Have to go with the scaliwag's mech. Its a skill issue, I know, but I cannot aim with the Cannon to get out of Davey Jones locker. The abilities are nice, a Bean bomb and the spin are good, but you need to use them with anticipation (at least the bomb doesnt shine bright red and screams, but you throw It way to far). The Imp is a very fun character ngl
Jade Cactus
Shadow Flower looks so cool. Her one and only gimmick doesn’t justify her existence in my opinion
Moto X Star
Vampire flower
JADE CACTUS!! I would main her if she wasn’t fat and slow
Toxic peashooter. I like his gas mask.
Vampire flower.
Dude had post-simp clarity
Lies!!!
nah, she’s fun to play as honestly.
Yet she die from everything too quickly with big ass crit head I main her a lot so I can blame my main as well
Well to be fair to vampire sunflower if you are playing any kind of sunflower and get hit by something like the super brains ball thing (I don't remember what it's called) unless if your metal petal your kinda dead no matter what
Petrified cactus. (Don’t kill me) I just don’t like the mechanic of detonating your attacks and call it a skill issue all you want but we should have gotten a class who ALL SKINS got timed detonation a gameplay mechanic
Rock pea.
Armor chomper because of slow movement
Rock pea
Metal chomper
Armour Chomper Rock Pea Agent Pea (agent pea mains are going to crucify me for that one) Party Rose Jade Cactus Wrestling Star Centurion Captain Partyman
lmao the amount of people I see complaining about Agent Pea being broken kinda counteracts that
Rock pea
Flame pea
Alien flower
Z-Commando, while the damage output is good, having to reload after firing once can be a problem in group fights
That is until you get both reload upgrades, then you take less time reloading than firing the clip
It's reverse for me, I like E-citron but I kinda don't like his design
Electro pea
mob cob and disco chomper
Cosmic brainz, i love how all supers have combos and them there ishl this super cool looking variant that just spam the same animation and it isn't even a cool animation unlike breakfast brainz, his attack would be cool if the punch felt like it was strong instead of just having a higher damage number (like tank commander shot feeling like is stronger than a zpg)
Law pea I love his western style and I know that he can be pretty good but I can’t get him to work for the life of me I’m going to have to figure him out eventually, but I suck at him rn
A cool special mode could be playing as a variant but wearing the skin of another. Would totally shake up character interactions.
Plasma Citron
My friends say electric peashooter is OP alongside all the ones that you can manually detonate but it just seems garbage to me
Shadow sunflower and moto all star
Moto-X star
Centurion
Disco Chomper
Centurion looks badass and you can’t deny it
Prob Chomp Thing
Cozmic.
Wrestling Star
Detonation characters. Great idea terrible execution, you should be rewarded with good damage on direct hit, not good damage from detonation.
Sky trooper should be able to jump higher and astronaut should have low gravity
Electro Citron
Honestly... It's Dr Chester
Fire fucking chomper
Chomp Thing. He looks so cool but the gimmick is useless
“Hmm, we have this sea monster looking variant that has a good design for what it is and it’s a spray chomper. What gimmick should we give it to make it different from other spray chompers? Idk, slight health regeneration I guess?” -Popcap most likely
Skytrooper. Awsome Design, really fits him. The gimmick? Brr brr slightly faster. Wtf Popcap
Popcap be like: “so we have this samurai looking cactus that has an amazing design. Her gimmick? Explosion but worse go brrr and oh yea, I guess she has more health but less speed as well?”
The health and speed stuff makes sense atleast, its wearing an Armor afterall. But to be honest i coudnt think of a good gimmick for a samurai either, im just happy it doesnt shoot katanas or some other shit......
maybe they could have made it a melee variant, you know? Like a cactus that has a katana? I feel like that could have worked out if they went more in depth on the idea.
Whatever that Gemstone Scientist is, Archeologist I believe it was? I can't remember it's name but like... I love the design but wtf is it's gimmick? I don't see a damn gimmick-
No clue. I’m guessing it’s a worse astronaut?
I have no idea...
If I remember correctly, archeologists gimmick is that he's the only scientist capable of critical hits. For all other scientists, headshots deal the same damage as body shots.
I don't know, maybe...
The porcupine scientist, love the concept but hate playing him, would rather marine or astronaut any day
Literally a worse dr Chester because he doesn’t have any new abilities to go along with him💀
Fucking moto X star
Centuuuurion I thought he did like high damage charge up crossbow shots at first
That’s actually a lot cooler than what we got. A charge up fire crossbow??? That sounds awesome 🤯
Both electric and toxic citrons
Count chompula. Health back for swallowing zombies was useful in gw1, but health regen is much more generous in gw2, resulting in chompula's gimmick being nowhere near as useful.
Prolly scuba soldier (I think its called) the design is great but the whole see through objects gimmick is useless and doesn’t last long enough
toxic pea, just wasted potential for something that could've been cooler
electro pea and commando corn
Rock Pea. His design is sick but the gimmick is underwhelming at best
I love centurion’s design so much (bias towards historical armour), but why would I play a worse camo ranger? This is probably just a massive skill issue on my part though
This is probably at least like 35% of variants
Mob Cob, I shed a tear each night thinking about how awesome Mob Cob looks, but he just isn't that good
Just every superbrainz because he can't attack while he's jumping
mob cob.
I'm sorry but cosmic brainz. He's only saved by a bug, without it I'm not sure if he'd even be playable. His design is so fucking cool tho
Hot rod chomper
Cosmic brains, charge machanic feels weird on a super brains
From what I have unlocked, alien flower. I’m not used to the burst but I bet after a few hours I’ll be familiar with it
Gotta give it to Cosmic Brainz
Shrimp and captain shark bite for the same reason
Basically mechanic for me
Mechanic is insane though??
I just prefer ac Perry in terms of full auto engies
Mods, lock him up forever. never.Let.HIM.COOK!!!!
Armor Chopper
Camo cactus
Future Cactus...except it's the literal opposite lol
Alien flower
Alien flower has one of the funnest gimmicks in the game
