Fair enough actually

Honestly, I like this idea a lot

Makes sence, that probaly would be mentioned if the almanac was in the game.

Our headcanon*

After all, they're one of these plants that are just a plant version of a thing in the real world, like Bloomerang or Peashooter

a fact we never needed to know, but liked to learn anyway

does they get a job at local 24 hour market, get a nice house, and a hot wife?

They could reunite in a marathon after doing their job

@@kepan2009 probably a fun time considering how fast bowling bulb is

@@Sp3ctralI oh, maybe they win race against sonic and get loans o money.

Just imagine that sweet sweet bowling bulb asmr

*Cue full lawn with Zombies and bulbs bouncing multiple times*

*Loonboon starts playing* We need a mod of that actually, a Mod that changes nothing but adding Wallnut Bowling Bulb Music

step 1. go to endless mode step 2. get bowling bulb step 3. get to level 5+ step 4. true asmr

Normally I don't find myself wanting to use bowling bulb because its effects aren't as satisfying to me as some other plants, if it had those classic sounds I would literally only use it lol

That must be wild in jurassic march!

Lol I was seeing whether anyone said it or not, and I agree with that, I always from the start in vanilla thought they could have taken inspiration from Fume-shroom about it

I think Eclise have made Bowling Bulb overall more consistent and versatile.

Honestly I was going to bring this up as it does help make Bowling a lot easier to use, but then I realised the video was 20 minutes long and just went "nah"

I may be in the minority here but 20+ minutes is no issue for me lol

get him to lvl 3, and he just demolishes everything

especially in vanilla because it costs way too much

Tumbleweed is better than bowling bulb, especially with Imitater and boost

Tumbleweed is really satisfying and fun to use

@@ChiekChiek preach

I got mine to level 7 and such, but I still find it outclassed there, as my best Arena setup is Threepeater, Torchwood, Primal Sunflower (when applicable), Pea Vine, and Appease-mint.

@@twelved4983 I know that pea-vine with torchwood is OP, but If you watch any good PvZ 2 Arena Guides (k-Gaming and Long vu) than you will See that Bowling bulbs are still Sometimes a better Option than pea-vine with torchwood.

@@henryhacker5076 what about bowling bulb with pea vine

@@henryhacker5076 Or, better yet, run Bowling Bulb ALONG WITH Pea Vine and Torchwood.

@@markdaniel9657 I actually do it in the current Arena to kill the Dragon imps.

It would be fun if zombies that quickly get to the back of the lawn then move back to the front on being killed by the bowling bulb before having jumped/dug or whatever else they do, then the bowling bulb will jump to the front and move back.

Yeah ,It happened to me too

@@plantas007 it’s almost certainly the file name. I just thought it was funny.

So, likely you'd want about one or two at the extremities, a bunch in the middle, and then in-between you could have maybe 3 to 6 according to your strategy, right?

Which lanes should you stack them in? The edges? The middle? Whatever lane has the most zombies in it at the moment?

@@OhCrapI_He i'd say edges and middle. That way you have the most supports in the semi-undefended lanes

I find that it focuses a little too much on 1 zombie each time. Plus, every new zombie it faces, it has to kinda restart to accrue that damage. I guess it's hurt by zombie wave spamming in Endless + Penny's Pursuit. Plus, it has a damage cap, which kinda limits its damage (especially in Pursuit). That's just what I find in BH. I myself don't mind these drawbacks but I don't use it that often either

Blooming Heart costs 150 sun and has the same damage per second as Peashooter, Cabbage-pult, etc. initially; at its prime, it very slightly outperforms Repeater. Most common zombie layouts in the games involve surrounding a strong zombie with a bunch of weak zombies (worlds like Lost City, Arena, Endless modes, Penny's pursuit). So, it's highly likely that blooming heart is going to hit most of its shots with almost the same DPS as cabbage pult. You could use plants like laser bean or fume shroom or melon pult to filter some of the weak zombies so that blooming heart can focus on the strong zombies. You could use it early-game when the zombie density is less but 150 sun is a bit expensive and that makes one consider another more consistent option.

​@@kairostimeYTcant you use lazer beam e-pea to make bheart deal more damage?

I personally think it's better to make all plants with about the same stats, and also make it to where there are low skill strategies for all of them but don't have nearly the same effect as the higher skill ones that are also there for all of them, meaning that the low skill ones will still end up getting left behind, especially if you also make it such that the skills can all counter each other, meaning your strategy can get countered and moreover make the enemy stronger, like for instance the torchwood sets things on fire, but perhaps a certain enemy has an unlit torch that when lit will suck all the oxygen out of the nearby air and remove fire from any of your buffed projectiles. However, the time and effort it takes to do something like that properly is likely something that EA will not ever end up doing.

And if you want to be really dramatic with the low skill strategies not working anymore, then you can make it to where frozen zombies nearby the torch will thaw off and create a puddle that speeds up the zombies. However, to make sure not to make the torchwood itself useless, but rather the strategy he's used for, you'll need additional things like for instance, you could make it to where a few zombies on getting too close to the torchwood will burst into flames running around setting things ablaze, and of course there could be counters to that too, and so on. With the idea not so much being about getting the highest damage plants but rather about making sure the damage that you are able to get actually makes it to the enemy, which prevents power creep, increases the potential strategies, but also still makes it possible for low complexity strategies to exist for until the enemy finds a way to counter, it also should make a nice bridge as it won't be a sudden plunge from simplicity to a high complexity strategy, but rather just one counter to one mechanic you were using to your advantage at a time getting added slowly.

Same. Those were the good ol', difficulty-based-on-skill-instead-of-cheesing, days

There were 4 methods though. -Star gate system. -1 world key per garg level system. -Every world key after 1st garg level system. -Linear system.

Hm, I don't know much about Jesters or bowling bulbs, I actually never figured out what triggers and what ends the deflect mode, or even what counters it, so I just had to get lucky for the levels that had them. But wouldn't that make the bowling bulbs more powerful since the jesters are letting them be like pinballs?

@@flameofthephoenix8395 Technically yes, but that power would be used against you since the Jesters would be deflecting the bulbs and hitting all of your plants with them.

​@@thebucketheadgaming Oh, I see. I had thought maybe the bowling bulbs would just be getting a second go around, and possibly a third after that given another jester.

penny pursuit devs please make this guy your level designer ❤❤❤

Yeah, he is really really good to use in reflourished

Bowling bulb>>>>dugtrio

Creeps has mentioned this and says he would hate bowling if this wad the case lol

You mean the bulbs being able to bounce on wall plants?

Just shovel it though...

@@pedroivog.s.6870I mean as in you being able to plant a seed packet of bulb when he shoots off all his shots. Like how you can recover Holly’s limited shots by planting on him.

@@ratlinggull2223 I mean,I always do that lmao. I just think that sometimes,it’d be faster to just plant on top of Bulb,rather than waste potential time on shoveling.

@@crackersandpie136 still, with maxed shovel boost you get 150 from digging it up

What's ironic is that theoretically, Bulb and Garlic work together. You put Garlic in front to divert zombies to other lanes while Bulb regenerates the bulbs. The problem is that Garlic's way of diverting zombies to other lanes doesn't work well with zombies in PVZ2, unlike how Sweet Potato and Hot Date do it.

I agree

Yes, that would be so awesome!

but that's just a theory, a WIDE STREETCH OF A THEORY

Chill out commenting

@@jamesgibb8160 why? im on a roll!🥁

holly barrier next week 🎉🎉

I guess the hard, 2nd "b" in "bulb" is what does it

They're for Power Mints. These plants are bought from the shop at different months, & are used to power up the plants related to it for a short time. Because I don't like Arena (for personal reasons against PvP modes in single-player games) & Arena is often based more on cheesing OP strats than skill, it's kinda hard to accumulate them effectively most of the time. I'd recommend using them to just unlock & collect each Power Mint, & also to save all mint candies to level up your favorite one(s). Also, remember when the world maps looked like a board game / diorama? Those were the good days...

@@TimerdonDWI I remember when they changed the map, so I had twin sunflower BEFORE I unlocked it on the new map. I was SO confused. X>

However when i first unlocked it, levels werent even a thing So i can see how it can definetly be a good plant

Shadowshroom with plant food outcast

@@lol-yz2kd the only problem with that is how long it takes for the posion to kill and some are immune.
