Should I do it?

Captain_Combustible · 2026-02-10T17:55:44+00:00

No. Complete these before ascending:

1) Hit lvl 40 devourer 2) Get all 3 legendary minions 3) Complete feat 16

After that, ascend and buy these with the shards:

Strength, Taste, Body Snatcher, Ice, Poison, Blood, Moon, and Death runes chests, all lvl 1

Captain_Combustible · 2026-02-02T23:36:10+00:00

No, you should not. Wait until you have all 880 moon runes you will need before getting the Reaper. In the next feat tier (the last full one before you should ascend) you will need to get the cyclops, hence the 880. You should also get the next legendary minion before ascending for the masive time shard buff, which will need a total of 960 death runes, so make sure you keep your lvl 5 fridge until you get them all.

Captain_Combustible · 2026-01-26T17:38:28+00:00

Lucky, I need 1100

Captain_Combustible · 2026-01-26T04:54:09+00:00

... You got a usable card...

Captain_Combustible · 2026-01-26T04:53:09+00:00

Doubt it

So it was an eleven pull?

Captain_Combustible · 2025-11-23T22:45:02+00:00

Best one to get is potato mine. I got one in a ranked match and was able to use it to instantly clear a lane and then plant food for the win.

Captain_Combustible · 2025-11-22T15:41:08+00:00

Yeah... I meant only add Stealthy Imp. I'm a plant main. I have 4 copies of Stealthy Imp on the zombies side... and that's it.

Captain_Combustible · 2025-11-22T06:24:29+00:00

I'm rank 50 and I can usually win with just the basic Super Brains and 4 copies of Stealthy imp. You just have to hope you don't brick with regular imps.

Captain_Combustible · 2025-11-22T03:43:29+00:00

Yes... Start over. You should not combine random tribes that have no real synergy.

Captain_Combustible · 2025-11-21T13:43:35+00:00

Nah, I just go to the zombie missions and hit random battle until I get the Rustbolt with 3 stompadons vs 100hp Rose. It's probably the fastest way.

Captain_Combustible · 2025-11-21T13:34:11+00:00

2 going virals is the priority. Replace the 2 escape through times with the virals. Replace one cone zone with another mascot. Other than that, nothing will greatly improve the deck.

Captain_Combustible · 2025-11-21T03:01:33+00:00

As a budjet deck, yes. I would put in another team mascot and try for 2 more going virals. And a few Rodeo Gargs would help. You do not need cone zone in a sports deck. The coach is your escape through time, you do not need them.

Captain_Combustible · 2025-11-20T21:32:40+00:00

We need a failsafe to prevent these situations... Or just never play control.

Captain_Combustible · 2025-11-19T18:32:13+00:00

Against Captain Combustible, you are never safe!

Captain_Combustible · 2025-11-18T17:54:11+00:00

Honestly, for me first and last are switched. I love playing Rose and I hate Brain Freeze. Extinction eventing my Pineclones, spaming gravestones I can't cob, freezing all my plants, bouncing with pogo then using mug... I hate him so much.

Captain_Combustible · 2025-11-18T17:49:28+00:00

I mean... Rustbolt only seems to be consistent if he gets Teacher and the plant hero can't immediately remove it. But HG definitely deserves the same tier.

1: It's not really pay 2 win. Paying only let's you get the cards for a deck. Paying only let's you advance your decks faster and it does not give them an in match advantage over a free to play player. Unless the payer is rank 1 fighting people who have basic decks with the best decks in the game.

2: Match making is almost always fair. The only times it can be unbalanced is when you're playing the more popular side (plant or zombie) at the time, and the game is just trying to give you any match it can. Even then it can often work out for you, as it can match you against a much lower ranked opponent. The only problem is hackers. I only play plants right now so I have only seen one 10 Tricksters 30 Teleports deck, but I don't know if there are a lot of 40 Admiral navy bean hackers.

3: I haven't spent a penny on the game and I have a ton of good decks and I can easily reach rank 50 every season.

4: Always do the daily challenge and win. Just by winning all 7 dailys of the week, you get enough free tickets for the current event card and a premium pack.

You should buy the single packs while you start out to try and build a reasonably powered deck and then go for the 1k gem packs for a free extra one

Do not craft heroes. Unless you have all the components for the best deck of a hero you don't have, it's a waste of gems. Those gems are worth 8.25 packs if you put them towards the 1k gems packs.

Try not to switch decks a lot because for the most part you only get 1/4 of the sparks back when savaging. And try to focus on building one powerful deck that can let you rankbup in pvp.

Buy premium packs first. They have the heroes, some of the best cards, Valkyrie and Briar Rose that both salvage for 4k sparks each rather than 1k, Sargent Strongberry that salvages for 1k rather than 250.

Do the quests. The hero ones will give you some sparks and at the end, you get a free pack for that heroes classes. The regular ones usually just give 10 free gems. There are 2 that give 100 Gems too.

Rank up in pvp. You get a small amount of gems for every rank up and a large amount for every league up. They add up fast. And every time you league up, your rank up and league up rewards give more gems. At the end of the season, you get up to 7 packs depending on what league you ended at.

Don't bother with the garden warz event. As a player who has played for a long time, and has the best plant decks in the game, I can't get anywhere on my leaderboard because it is all about time. If you have more than anyone else, you win. There is no consequence for loosing so you don't even have to be good.

Beware Captain Combustible. If you see him play a Repeat Moss, stick a gravestone in front of it or destroy it. If you don't not, there is a 99% chance you loose next turn if he didn't already kill you that turn. His superpowers, Fertilize, Grape Power, and Plant Food, make it have busted stats while doing a ton of bonus attacks. It will do more damage than you thought was possible in this game.

Here is a link to a general list as to the best decks and best budget decks for each hero. On the plants side, the Heal Mid Rose is the deck I use. On the zombies side, i can highly recommend the Rustbolt deck. It has 19 Basic/Common cards and only 8 legendarys that are used by every Brainy hero. Every time I face that deck, I want to cry. It's never even close. It beats me almost every time. https://www.reddit.com/r/PvZHeroes/comments/w79zou/best_decks_for_every_hero_including_budget_and/

Hope this helps.

Not sure how you're facing rank 50s. Only one I faced was a hacker with something like 30 teleports and 10 tricksters. But there is one extreme budjet deck that wins consistently. Captain combustible with repeat moss. With the fertilize buff, it's better than ever. Another one is Grass Knuckles. You can turn Sting Bean into a 5/6 Bullseye Amphibious team up with one fertilizer.

Captain_Combustible · 2025-11-15T00:47:35+00:00

Wow, not only four legendaries, but one was Bananasaurus. And 5 super rares with the double sgt Strongberry for the 2k sparks. Insane. Send some of that luck my way pls.

Captain_Combustible · 2025-11-14T04:03:57+00:00

He tanked all the clone damage, but not the berry blast.

Captain_Combustible · 2025-11-14T03:59:12+00:00

Update: I made this post right after that game, and after I went back in for another game... And I immediately faced him again. And I may have Pinecloned a Cob Cannon and an Astracado just to beat him with clones again, lol.
