How to Kill the Spinning Zombie in Pvz 2: Tips and Tricks
The Spinning Zombie, also known as the Tornado Zombie, is one of the most challenging zombies to face in Plants vs. Zombies 2 (Pvz 2). In this article, we’ll provide you with practical tips and tricks on how to defeat these spinning menaces.
Main Weakness: Area of Effect (AOE) Plants
To deal significant damage to the Spinning Zombie, you’ll need to rely on area of effect (AOE) plants that can hit multiple zombies at once. Fortunately, Pvz 2 provides several AOE plants that are efficient against the Spinning Zombie. Here are some of the best AOE plants to use:
• Fume-shroom: +125 sun. Deals up to 200 damage to zombies directly in front of it and continues damaging them for a few seconds even after they’ve passed.
How to Use Fume-Shroom Effectively:
- Plant Fume-Shrooms in a row to maximize your chances of hitting the Spinning Zombie.
- Use Fume-Shroom’s ability to create a toxic fog that damages zombies even after they pass through it.
- Fume-Shroom’s fog also applies negative effects to zombies, such as lowering their speed and accuracy.
• Venus Flytrap: +100 sun. Deals 350 damage to zombies in a 4×4 square around it on each activation.
Venus Flytrap Tips:
• Always plant Venus Flytraps facing the direction the Spinning Zombies are coming from.
• Wait until the Spinning Zombie activates its tornado before planting your Venus Flytrap. This will ensure it reaches the zombie at the same moment the tornado dissipates.
Instant Kill Plants: Bonus
In addition to AOE plants, you can also use instant-kill plants to take out the Spinning Zombie quickly. Here are a few worth mentioning:
• Kernel-pult: +125 sun. Boosts a plant or a seed-pod to launch itself with great force.
Using the Kernel-Pult Effectively:
- Plant Kernel-Pults aimed at the Spinning Zombie after it activates its tornado to destroy it instantly.
- Keep multiple Seed-Pods stocked and activate them with Kernel-Pult once the Spinning Zombie arrives.
Additional Tips for Killing Spinning Zombies
Here are a few more tips to help you defeat Spinning Zombies:
• Keep an Eye out for Power-ups: Seize opportunities to collect Power-Pods, which can provide essential skills like increased sun or ammo.
• Rotate and Switch Seed-Pods: Mix it up by planting different seed-pods between levels to stay on top of the Spinning Zombies’ ever-changing patterns.
• Don’t Sacrifice Your Plants: Try not to sacrifice any additional plants to save yourself or stay in the fight as Spinning Zombies will adapt.
Conclusion
The Spinning Zombie requires strategic planning and clever execution in Pvz 2. The suggestions above will help you tackle and finally defeat these whirling devils. Remember to exploit their weaknesses by planting specific AOE plants at just the right moment and keeping plenty of instant-kill options queued up.
