“It’s tomb tanglin’ time,” Tomb Tangler said. Upon saying those magnificent words, he proceeded to start his business of tomb tanglin’ and tangled the zombies into the shadow realm. Truly an amazing sight to behold, and will surely go down as one of the most insane moments in gaming history.

Now i have learned that not only is Tomb Tangler just a better Ancient Grave Buster, but also that he is a bad plant, and i now know that i am bad at creating balanced plants

How about making Tomb Tangler also an Armor Plant? Keep it at 50 sun or even increasing it, but you can plant it on another plant. Tomb Tangler gets eaten first, but while being on a plant, the plant is slowed by 40%. If used with walls, this doesn't matter and it could give Tomb Tangler a great primary usage, instead of being a weird wallnut-grave buster hybrid.

I think modders could add an interesting way to make it more interesting. Where it can be planted on graves as well as on wall type plants. Gaining their remaining hp as bonus for his own. This way tomb tangler becomes both a grave remover as well as a sizeable boost to your walls durability and stalling. Giving him some buffs as well would justify the need for 2 seed slots for him

Honestly I think an interesting way they could add the affect that the strangler fig does to plants in real life and allow you to plant it on top of other plants. Like they can keep the grave health gaining thing to it, but when placed on top of a plant it could inheritably weaken the plant. As in reduction to damage and to fire rate, mean while Tomb Tangler would be the one who takes all the damage before the plant its planted on does (ie: zombies kill the tomb tangler first then the plant its planted on) giving a similar effect to pumpkin, but nerfing the plant its planted on and still having it's slow down and chance to insta kill. That I believe and reducing its recharge rate could make it more viable

I like the idea of Tomb Tangler being placeable on dead plants, along with a buff to Intensive Carrot (like buffing revived plants rather than cutting hp) I think it could add an interesting dynamic to letting plants die for a change. Playing around plant death is an opportunity not usually explored, so giving it more ground to stand on might make for some unique levels!

I think the only good use for this plant is in arena tournaments that contain a lot of sun and plant food gravestones (especially the big ones that have so much health it's almost unbreakable) for the fact that Tomb Tangler instantly breaks them unlike Gravebuster wich takes a bit of time to destroy the gravestones, making it vulnerable to zombies (if it gets destroyed,the grave resets and you'll have to use another grave buster)

Idea to balance Tomb-Tangler: Make him place-able on damaged "wall" units, with him adding only 25% of their health instead of the 60% for graves. This would make him able to be used in combination with other walls as a cheaper way to replace them.
@xidjav1836

Tomb tangler seems to me to be played as an early game staller. The problem is a stallers needs to synergize with plants that do damage and with the limited areas it does grow on makes it almost impossible to work with other than spikes. I have a few ideas to buff it -Take more inspiration from their plant and have them be plantable on any plant and convert a percentage of their health to its own, this does 2 things as it makes him an emergency wall and hard counters displacement zombies. (The percentage health gain might be much an encourage misusing it to plant it on top of wall tall and primal nuts) -Make it more offensive and make all zombies that enter its fog take more damage as it would push your frontlines especially melee plants to the frontlines. -And for it's plant food it would simply be similar to potato mine's PF it prioritizes the right side of the garden where there's a zombie In its lane. -And have a degredation state to keep tabs on them for QoL Also some ideas I have for grave buster is that you can plant them on any obstacles nullifying their abilities and not be pushable but can be harmed.

I have an idea for what they could do, but it would probably make it a bit too powerful. They could turn it into a sort of trap plant that transforms into a wall. Basically you set it, then when a zombie walks over it it binds that zombie and becomes a wall with a combination of it's and that zombie's health.

i think the reason there was a backlash about the price was because it was the final straw for many that showed how popcap doesn't care about what was the game built off of or how they dissregarded everything that made the game speciall, even your sun bean argumant has flaws since it could easilly be an oversight if we even consider sun bean worked previously on zombies, maximum sun production and even the previous zombies hp to sun scaling had the multiple of 25's and it giving out odd sum values may as well be the devs not thinking how zombies CV ould've allready been dammaged before eating the sun bean thus it's odd sun drops, or my theory is that so many previous game devs left the studio and so many freshones joined in that there was no one to tell them how or what games consistancies must be kept( and how arena and events was probably their only focus) that they just picked some random number, this to me tells me that if they don't even bother maintaining something simple as sun cost what makes you think they will care about the big things like fan feedback or balance?

I feel like Tomb Tangler should've been a mix between the Wall-Nut & Chomper, mostly because of the bottom half of the plant itself. It could have the same HP as the former, and have a functionality similar to the latter. When it finishes eating the zombie and it "burps", it can release the stunning gas (at a 100% chance) that travels across the screen, stunning zombies for about the same time as Stunion. It could also have a 10% of tangling a zombie when it enters the lane, and eat that zombie instead. It also doesn't need to be placed on a grave, giving it more utility. *But of course, this is EA territory here. So we can't always have nice things.*

I could kinda see it being interesting if Tomb Tangler could also be used on other walls, allowing it to still fit its weird niche, keep its weird quirks like stealing a percentage of a tombs/plants health, and let it be used in more maps. Make it overall weaker than if it were to be used on a tomb, but I'd definitely use it. Zany plants are my jam.

for me i think tomb tangler is a plant you use to turn tombs to your side or your very own tombs. he is used on the tombstones on the far right of the zombie side of the lawn as you wouldn’t necessarily use the tombs on the right side and you wouldn’t plant much on the very right side either. also i would use tomb tangler to the tombs on the right side instead of grave buster because grave would remove the tomb and give me a tile that i wouldn need much and will also risk grave buster to be eaten while destroying the tomb while tomb tangler will simply turn the tomb to your side with the high durability stalling and the rng instakill. isn’t necessarily useful but hey, turning tombs to your side with a very high hp and an extra rng instakill for 50 sun.
@caoinhnamkhanh2795

i think tomb tangler could be potentially useful in penny's pursuit, not in arena, due to the fact that arena always has the last stand set up period, as well as the fact that the best strat in arena is to kill zombies in quick succession for the highest point multiplyer, and aggro is the best strat in arena. in penny's pursuit, tomb tanglers usage will be limited to tomb spam levels, which can prove useful to block threats like the zcorp consultant zombie (pushes any zombie in front of her forward by a large amount, as well as into adjacent lanes, with HIGH speed and randomly running backwards/switching lanes herself), or just general zombie spam. tomb tangler's 80% tomb stone health added could help out a TON due to how tanky tombstones are on higher difficulties. when i play with any plant, i usually consider them at the 5th level, due to how decently achievable that is without endlessly grinding (ofc that's with buying packets from shops and such), and it's speed reduction of 50%, and STACKABLE with other slow downs, could potentially help out a lot

What if it could consume any fixture? That means anything that takes up a tile can be consumed, and if we want to take it farther, tangler could gain different properties depending on what it consumes. Heck, even just allowing it to consume anything of the wall class, friend or foe would make it more consistent. If it can eat anything basic ideas: blocker/wall: increased hp single target: increased damage staller: increased stall range or effectiveness trap (activation on consumption): increased instant kill chance sun producer: generates sun on kills and own consumption Terrain: ignore terrain effects like tide (immunity to terrain zombies like blocking fliers and diggers?) AOE damage: zombies that die in fog spread a temporary fog cloud to an adjacent tile Multi-lane: fog covers the 3 frontal adjacent tiles Graves/enemy hazards: removal of obstacle and spawn a spouted (ally, think hypnoshroom) zombie (who's strength scales to the wave difficulty. not strong enough to be a full powered lawn mower, but strong enough to push the line back in the spawned row) nighttime unit: wake up adjacent sleeping ally units and spawn a single random purple mushroom in the front 4 columns (getting pushed back to the farthest right empty space if the front 4 columns are full)

I'd like if tomb tangle would fill more niches. Maybe plantable on all sorts of bjects, like surf boards and arcades. Then polish - remove health mechanic, give it a damage indicator, make its offensive ability more reliable. Would turn this into a pretty fun niche plant that should see some use and increase variety of strats used. If you wanna make it more powerful and widely usable as a main wall, it could be planted on zombies, serving as a one zombie kill and wall. Only plantable on small, not heavily p Rotected zombies for a semblance of balance.

You know what tomb tangler was really used for? IN ARENA DESTROYING LARGE GRAVESTONES< GETTING 500 SUN, AND HAVING NO LESS THAN 41720 HEALTH. Let me explain: At level 8 (jade league), the zombies have 6.62 times more health, and eat 6.62 times faster. But yea, even so it would still have 6300 technical hp, and take 63 seconds to be eaten by level 8 zombies. Doesn't change the whole unreliable/situational aspect.

@sharplosion1

I think there could be 2 ways to partially fix Tomb Tangler. Both of which involve allowing it to be placed without tombs. 1: It costs like 50-75 sun when placed on it's own, but 0-25 sun when placed on a tomb. 2: It gains it's insta-kill specifically when placed on a tomb, and is more consistent doing it, like every 10 seconds or so. Still vulnerable to swarming.
@Baxdronn4
@Baxdronn4 2 года назад
I feel like there are a few potential things that could change its design to make it interesting. A few scattershot ideas I thought of while watching this: Make it be able to be planted on fellow plants, acting as a brief barrier that slows zombies in front, then upon being eaten, kills the nearest zombie, freeing the plant it was placed on and restoring said plant's health to full. A Jack-O-Lantern style plant from PvZ1, where it is just a shield that slows with a special type of slow that can stack with other slowing effects, no OHKO chance. Keep it as is but let it be planted anywhere, with the effect to give it more HP when planted on a grave. Also as a potential change to all of them, make it's ability to kill zombies consistent, by instantly killing a zombie within a tile in front of it once that zombie drops below a certain HP threshold, with a small cooldown, letting it serve as a finisher plant of sorts while being a wall and a slow.

If I were to handle Tomb Tangler's abilities and planting requirements, I'd have it: A: be plantable on other plants instead of tombs, given the plant its based on parasatizes the nutrients from other plants. Tomb Tangler could take the base HP of the plant its planted on as well, meaning you could plant it on a dying wall-nut and get the wall-nut's full HP back at the cost of giving it to Tomb Tangler. B: have it's insta-kill ability be more consistent, maybe like how electric blueberry and caulipower's abilities work where it takes a while to charge up. Any zombie that's in its fog range could be snapped up and then the recharge could be displayed in a similar way to chomper or toadstool.

And it should probably have degrades, even if it has dynamic hp and they keep it not having wall but first aid. It would technically be unhelpful outside of plant food then, but it still would look nice compared to other walls

I actually have an idea of a plant that can maybe? save tomb tangler... INTRUDUCING THE lithrave! It is a 0 cost funky plant that instantly kills any zombie that steps on it 3 times.Then,it turns into a grave.voila,tomb tangler has a decent synergy now

If I had to change the plant I would change the "grave" part of it and give it the ability to be placed on other walls but gain a ability based on the plant Basic wall nut makes a basic version Tall nut gives increased fog range Infini nut gives a slight hp recovery but only up to 50% Durian makes the insta kill happen more often Primal nut gives the avoid insta death but only once Peanut let's it fire peas Explodo nut makes it explode when eaten For me it would have weaker sub effect that the plant it leeches off of but of course have its own effects

Problem with new plants is that either broken or very bad and it keeps getting worse more they add. If people have a issue with sun cost and usage. Then the plant need to be look back and make where it stands out and be useful while not making other plants more weaker in comparison. In nutshell of what im saying is that more plants = harder balancing and people using it. Also design is another thing when it comes to it.

I had an idea, what if they changed the Tomb Tangler to be a vine plant that can also be placed on graves / zombie props instead? For instance, on a plant it will be beneficial similar to the pyre vine, but with a slowing effect rather than damage. This would be a great synergy with melee plants, especially with a spikerock in front of it. On zombie props it destroys the prop as an additional bonus, but the main function would be the slowing effect and the small chance of killing a zombie. Compared to other vines it would not be as powerful damage-wise, but when synergized with a melee plant & spikerocks, and maybe even a snow pea behind it it can make the absolute most out of the slowing effect it provides, with the small chance of killing a zombie as a bonus that is appreciated when it occasionally happens.

My fix for tomb tangler would be to have it be placed on top of another plant rather than graves. It could gain hp based on the sun/hp of the plant. It'd be interesting, because if you want a tanky tomb tangler, you'd have to decide if placing a high cost plant forwards hoping it will live is too much risk to get a big one. It would also be more thematic, as Tomb Tangler litterally steals nutrients from the plant it's put on top of.

Idea: once Tomb Tangler dies, it would leave a Crater. However, you would be able to plant Tomb Tangler in Craters, making it replaceable. However, it wouldn’t get any bonus hp from the crater.

That's how I sorta feel about Spore Shroom. I remember seeing a new mushroom plant that "sounded" cool in theory, but in reality, it's just there. It's just about the only good plant in NMT because it's the only one with range, but you get it so late within the levels, and it's spore effect doesn't really work if a zombie is on a tile with a plant. Kinda wish it spawned a new Shroom a tile ahead.

Tomb tangler could have been good if it did either of two things Be a vine plant for walnuts and such but it slowly healed the wall Could be like a really big chomper able to eat a lot of zombies once they approached, but once it DIED it would leave behind a gravestone, requiring you to either destroy it or leave behind a valued seed spot for gravebuster

I've thought of Tomb Tangler being a temporary sun-producer. Placing it would drain the graves health, giving you sun depending on the health the grave had. (you'd have to remove the slow however, as a wall-sun-stall plant is a little too much)
@Slimerror
@Slimerror 8 месяцев назад
A good rework could be having it plantable on any tile but it recieves an increased tile radius if planted on a gravestone, allowing it to become a much better stalling plant. Also buffing its plant food effect to slow down all units with the edition of killing 2 zombies would in my mind make it one of the best stall plants. Since all other stalling plants like it dont outright kill zombies.
@seongthongchuah8356
@seongthongchuah8356 2 года назад
The only thing it's good at is that it instant destroy a tomb. In a level where there are a bunch of zombies, grave buster is basically useless at the front, so tomb tangler instant kill them while might be able to kill a zombie is decent but 50 sun is too much.

After watching this video, I was thinking about some changes that could be made to it: 1. It can be placed anywhere, but it multiplies health of items it's placed on by 2 and adds it to its own, such as graves, surfboards, backpacks, and arcade machines. 2. His stats are now: 125 Sun, 20 Seconds recharge, 1500 HP, 40% Slowness to enemies in 2 Tiles in front. It now devours Zombies once every 40 seconds. 3. Its Plant Food is now: Insta-kills three random Zombies, except certain foes.

I GOT AN IDEA FOR TOMB TANGLER! HP: 2500 + 80% consumed health -> 0 + 100% consumed health Requirement: zombie grid items -> Zombie grid item + plants(excluding low plants, floating plants, uninteractable plants, and mobile plants) Instakill: by chance -> upon death Plant food: drags random zombies -> kills all zombies Infront + activates plant food of the consumed plant. Tomb tangler is now considered a vine and can be placed on top of plants(and zombie grid items as its specialty), tomb tangler will disable that plant's function in replacement of its own functions. Tomb tangler will now act as a tactical plant that synergizes with walls. deactivate the plant(but inherits their HP) in exchange for slow and death instakill for free sun cost, while the plantfood still gives purpose for the deactivated plant and tangler itself allowing for further strategy.

Tomb Tangler is perhaps the most strange design in PvZ2 that I have seen. So, it's wallnut that only works on graves, so this incourages you to not destroy a grave. So by the times he recharches, the grave that you wanted to put him is probably destroyed by your attacking plant. What a pile of f*ck. (Hey, atleast it's better than garlic, which is totally broken - but not in a good way.)
@midnamidnightwhisper7529
@midnamidnightwhisper7529 Год назад
Several different ways to improve tomb tangler - and just adding deteriorating stages helps: 1 - Tomb tangler can be placed anywhere but can also be placed on a grave; not gaining HP if placed normally (most simple but loses charm of a grave-placed wall) 2 - When killed, spawns a non-obstructing grave that doesn't spawn zombies is placed - can also be dug up (interesting but annoying because of levels lacking graves in the first place and you can't really custom place graves) 3 - Tomb tangler can be placed on any plant or grave, destroying and inheriting their HP (can't be placed on a Tomb tangler and could be OP) 4 - Can just be placed on more zombie structures; removing them and gaining HP (probably least helpful)
@yordanmitma2810
@yordanmitma2810 2 года назад
I get a little idea for tomb tangler, that it has two stages, when you plant it alone, has the regular abilities, except for the instakill %, and when you plant in a gravestone, it's stall effect covert the entire line, change the % for a counter of seconds, and finally has a normal HP, it's like a support plant besides a tanky plant, am sorry for my english, I'm not practice a lot

I'm more happy if Tomb Tangler work like this Can be plant on normal Ground or Tombstone When on Ground, Tomb Tangler will burrow under ground, become Untargetable. Each 30-60 second, Tomb Tangler will drag a zombie 1 tile in front of him. When tangle zombie into the ground, he will resurface and emit gas to slow zombies in 1 tile in front of him. Tomb Tangler will burrow again when tangle ability ready and no zombie in front of him. Under cooldown of tangle, Tomb Tangler will recover HP by absorb nutrients from buried zombie When on Tombstone, Tomb Tangler gain extra max HP, tangle and absorb faster but never able to burrow under ground Plant Food Ground Tomb Tangler will tangle 3 zombies, leaving a gas at the tile they got tangled for some time. Tomb Tangler also drag chunk of stone on his own tile and latch on it Tombstone Tomb Tangler will tangle 2 zombies, leaving a gas at the tile they got tangled for some time. Tomb Tangler drag a chunk of stone prioritizing column tile and move to next tile further from house Chunk of Stone work like Tombstone but doesn't block plant attack

The big issue is Tomb Tangler outside of its limitation would be meta and arguably OP. 2 Cold Snap Dragons, 5 Tombs, and 5 Spikes would arguably control most situations. The 3 tiles by the snap dragon can be filled with magnet or whatever supporting plant you need for a map. You could even go as far as to replace the middle Tomb with a Infi-Nut. You could forgo the Snaps in multi-wave maps and instead get Peas+Torch for obscene damage while slowing. You'd have to make it cost closer to 200 sun just to balance it out slowing, stalling, and killing. Why would you not use this plant as for all intents if it is a straight upgrade to all walls?
@fatherplatypus2316
@fatherplatypus2316 2 года назад
The problem with the last 3 plants is that they have RNG based ability (their ability triggers due to percentage rather than a set amount of time). Look at MGP, its super broken with its randomly activating its PF ability. Levitater has a chance to fling zombies away, but only 10% at MAX LEVEL. Tomb Tangler also suffers the same thing with this RNG stuffs Honestly, they could just make it like wall version of Chomper, with timer between eating zombies instead of randomly kills them

Surfboards do most definitely work, I just tried it out. (granted it is level 5 tomb, but I don't recall it ever stating it gaining that ability.
