Dark bean bomb is great at increasing fire rate and bean jumping. It can also be combo with ice pea to increase firerate and get a free hit from the freeze.
Guided ball is just purely a fun ability. It does combo well with cosmic brainz against citrons. Just sneak up behind them and u can do 227 damage practically instantly
The thing about the bling abilities is, while they are runctionally identical to the standard abilities and direct downgrades in some cases, Rux only sells new abilities once every 2 weeks, so buying these when they show up is probably the best idea if you play regularly, so the better abilities that actually do something show up, because rux can sell the same itemultiple times in a row, so that the same bling abilities show up in rux 2 or more times in a row, essentially wasting an entire month or longer
You can put Placeable abilities on top of the bling Maidens while you can't with iron ones. Bling mines ignore invincibility frames compared to reg mines, so you aren't safe from them when you spawn in or go through any teleporter. Bling barrel just has less armour.
Something else I would like to mention, with bling pylon mech you can swap between that ability and the regular one after each time you use it for a half ability cooldown, you can use this same strategy with the bling/Iron Maiden and all the potato mines to have double the amount of defenses, this is mainly useful on certain objectives such as wall nut hill’s defend objective, or defending the drawbridge levers in seeds of time.
I’m shocked people don’t use shield decoy, it blocks damage and you get loads of them making it the obvious choice for defence, it can stop a shuck shot, p bomb, burrow, goop, time snare, goatify, empeach. They are easily the best since they are the most reliable method to stop a burrow
The only bling abilities I’d recommend buying are the Bling Pylon Mech and Bling Maiden. The only thing the mech does is deal 5 more damage than the base counterpart, but anything helps. The bling maiden is better because you can stack them for some extra height, which could be helping for sniping spots.
You should make a video ranking each pvz2 world by music or make a mini series ranking each piece of music world by world (like your ranking plants series)
Thanks man, this video was very helpful! but I think the Dark Beam Bomb it's a bit situational, but I'd say it's worth having, the only 2 bad things about the Bomb are the blast area and that it's situational, nice video! :D
I'd say most of the Bling ones are still good in fights, i.e. Retro Gatling is not a bad ability on its own but it's an outright downgrade to the standard Gatling, and I guess Psychedelic Goat can still be used to counter a zombie if they get up close & personal. Red Artichoke and Multi-Shuck on the other hand are just straight up awful.
Probably a basic answer but Rocket Leap, it's nearly always more viable than Rocket Jump given you get two of them, can work them in the same way as the Scientist's Warp to get in and out of fights, and it can still be used to get on top of many buildings
