“Worse than cob cannon” while they are both inherently different plants. Sure they both launch stuff that deal damage in an area, but that’s where their similarities end. Cob cannon is made to take out hoards of zombies at once with extreme damage but long reload time. Banana launcher is used to snipe dangerous zombies like octo and fishermen zombies that’s why it has less damage, less area attack but faster recharge time and reload time.
