Gold Magnet, purely because Marigold are useful in the Zen Garden


clyde_the_gamer

Marigold is worth less than other plants so how is it useful in the Zen garden


Stoleurbread

Sell it for 3k coins


Dolan360

You can sell duplicates of the other Plants for like 8k-10k coins though.


Stoleurbread

Agreed but 3k is 3k


EncroachingVoidian

You can also buy new ones for 2.5k, and don’t have to hunt for sprouts constantly if you so choose. 500 coins profit.


Stoleurbread

Intresting


_beastayyy

Spend coins on food and bug spray and you realize it's not all that much of a profit


EncroachingVoidian

See that’s where you maintain other plants that you keep for collection sake, as well as farming more coins in survival endless. You also get to a point where growing and selling and buying becomes obsolete, but early enough on you’re not facing too many plaguing issues.


clyde_the_gamer

That's what I mean it is worth less than other plants that sell for 5k pretty sure, plus other plants are FREE


Stoleurbread

Compared to golden magnet marigold is definately not worthless if you get a marigold you grow it and sell it for 3k its not as good as 5k but 3k is still decent its not like you are getting 0 value plus you get a diamond worth 1k when its fully grown you wont just sell a margold the second you get it especially when you just unlock zen garden and you barely have any plants.


clyde_the_gamer

You're getting 500 coins back just play the survival modes and you can get much more


Stoleurbread

Growing marigold is a pretty lazy way to farm coins though just hop in the game and grow them sell it repeat.


Fried-_-Eggs

Useful? I must be really impatient with the zen garden for you to say it’s useful


Cool_Kid95

I like these plants 😑

Same


izakdaturtal

i hate cactus, gold magnet may be worse but cactus sucks


ahenkra0612

You actually use gold magnets in survival endless because collecting them manually is hard while it spams gargantuars at you. You literally use cactus in two levels and never again.


Dolan360

More like one level since you unlock Blover like immediately after Cactus. EDIT: I remembered 4-10 and Portal Combat exist oops


ahenkra0612

İ was going to write 4-10 but you are faster than me


N1ch0l2s

It's only useful in those levels since in the former u don't always have Blover on deck and the latter just doesn't have Blover


Oreosnort3r

Yeah this is what I do im around wave 100 and run two gold magnets just because if they dont collect the coins i will compulsivley do it myself and then mess up my cob cycle


TheUpperDiamond

One to none, if you're brave enough.


ahenkra0612

İf you are talking about not taking cactus into balloon zombies to rely on rng to not get one more on the lane you lost your lawn mowers. Yeah possible but i am kind of a guy that plays games as intended


TheUpperDiamond

Yeah, you do you. Stupid idea anyway.


ahenkra0612

Well i probably should try to beat this game unintended way at some time. İ already beat this game like 8 times at different dates. So it would be a good Challenge for me


TheUpperDiamond

Start off by using a random number generator to decide your plants. Once you beat that, try playing with more unconventional play choices like "only use one plant at a time". Unintended gameplay keeps the game fresh.


vacconesgood

If marigold wasn't a thing, gold magnet wouldn't be either. Therefore, a use for. Marigold is making gold magnet exist


MarigoldLord

Marigold is needed 👍


Anx1et

Survival Endless:


AdAdventurous6943

There is no useless plants in the 1st game. There are only those you don't use much. Like good magnets.


Dolan360

Chomper outside of PVZ 1 speedruns due to how ridiculously slow its cooldown is. Cactus is honorable due to the fact it’s a worse Peashooter designed to counter one Zombie with two significantly better counters.


takeshi-bakazato

The cactus seems kinda useful in PVZ2 at least due to the spike attack


Dolan360

Yeah, Cactus is basically a better Bloomerang in Vanilla PVZ 2 IMO.


HappyGav123

One is useless without the other.


lvke18

Gold Magnet. You'll never reach a point where you're inconvenienced by manually picking up the coins. That + the fact they no longer grab metal objects from zombies


Harmony3319

Survival endless grind:


ahenkra0612

Yeah i just put 2 gold magnet because coins make a lot of lag when they are on ground


[deleted]

Marigold and gold magnet are useful, just long term.


mariogaming375

cactus is the worst. they only pop balloons and that's it. it's not even the best at doing that seeing as cattail and blover exist. she isn't even good in roof levels which would make the most sense.


MarigoldLord

Well, the worst I can do is throw coins at you for saying Marigold, but that would benefit you.


kubix666666

Honestly, my only problem with marigold, is that its FREE, meaning if it wasnt free, we couldve got something much better, and you heard me right, i would actually pay 500 silver or gold coins for marigold, than get it for free, why mf is an adventure plant, if it will NEVER be used in adventure?


TheWeirdo600

Gold Magnet is definitely not the worst plant. It's a tool like the lily pad or the sunflower itself. It's great in Survival Endless because of how much money is dropped, especially when you use a trackpad instead of a mouse.


Coldblaze420

i have gotten like 200k from marigold lmao


Guyeatingachocobar

True man.


53510758

Cactus Cactus was changed significantly in pvz2 and for good reason


WallOfWhales

Cactus. Definitely Cactus. Marigold and Gold Magnet at least have somewhat of a use in farming coins, but Cactus is just a slightly more expensive Peashooter with a gimmick, like, just use Blover or Cattail and it'll be completely useless.


Blue_wiz_

Spike weed, so little chip damage it can hardly do you good. \[marigold and gold magnet can make you dumb amounts of coins with marigold, but that is my opinion on worst plant\]


Dolan360

Spikeweed gets outclassed hard by Spikerock in PVZ 1, but in PVZ 2 I find myself using the two interchangeably due to Spikeweed’s DPS buff and Spikerock’s HP nerf.


SomeLakitu

You have to use spikeweed to use spikerock, so spikeweed has to be at least as good as spikerock


AYoshiVader

2 things, zombonies and wallnuts, tallnuts and pumpkins.spikeweed instakills some really annoying zombies and it makes use of the empty space in front of walls(and deals damage to the ones eating the wall)


Blue_wiz_

Spikerock exists as a direct upgrade though.


AYoshiVader

That does not make spikeweed useless though, first the direct upgrade requires the spikeweed, and two a direct upgrade is never something that nullifies use for the previous one, specially on pvz where upgrades are an extra seed slot and extra sun on top of the plant that was upgraded


JustANormalLemon

Simple, marigold Golden magnet let's you concentrate in the fight more by not needing to collect the coins, Marigold trough, makes even more coins to distract the player


[deleted]

Sunflower (based answer)


TextPsychological601

Night Fog and survival endless: Are you sure about that?


[deleted]

Yes. I have sunshroom


Ghostchild70

Alright then nerd have fun with your 5 sun


MarigoldLord

15* 🤓


Ghostchild70

Wrong, as if you buy a plant (like potato mine) you will be left with 5 sun ( 30 sun - 25=5)


MarigoldLord

Oh, I thought you meant how much sun it produced.


SomeRandomGuy2763

Daytime


TheUpperDiamond

Coffee bean


SomeRandomGuy2763

Good idea to spend 100 suns on a weaker sunflower just to play day levels


TheUpperDiamond

How else am I gonna get the good morning achievement?


SomeRandomGuy2763

If you are doing that for Good morning, sure. But I don't think using sunshrooms for general use in daytime instead of the much more better sun producer is a practical idea


TheUpperDiamond

I guess so. Maybe leave it for those who want a challenge. This game can be so easy at times.


kubix666666

Here is my top worst plants list in pvz1: 1. Marigold & gold magnet 2. Most fog plants ( yeah expect for starfruit, pumpkin and magnet shroom ) 3. Hypno shroom


TheUpperDiamond

Cactus. Like every other PVZ 1 fan.


Nice-Celebration2355

Who needs coins?


[deleted]

those two paid off my student loans in last stand i will not stand for this slander


slime_rancher_27

these two go great together for making gold farms. i would say its the corn cob launcher, its way too expensive and resource-heavy.


Zombie_Miraculer_74

I think otherwise. Cactus is the worst plant. At least Marigolds and Gold Magnets help you from gold farming to access more coins and buy something cool like tree food from PC version and even the game packs from the mobile version if you don't like ads. Back to Cactus, the reasons why it is the worst plant: 1. Costs higher than the Peashooter and only pops balloons. That's it. 2. Outclassed by Blover and Cattail. The latter plants are better at handling balloon zombies especially on endless zones. 3. Can't be passed by Torchwood. Since it's not a pea, it cannot be boosted by Torchwood. At least Peashooter had a better purpose on how to have better attacks on zombies. 4. Only attacks one zombie at a time. It's so useless when it comes to groups of zombies.


Coveinant

Garlic, it will always be garlic.


eos_dazzle

in non-endless Survival pairing it with Gloom-Shroom is broken af.


Electrical-Pop9464

Not if Gloom-shroom exists


DeathandGrim

Gold Magnet. Basically useless after you've unlocked everything in the game.


LueIsBlue

Cob cannon. In what aspect is it useful? Its way too expensive for it to be usable in normal survival games and sun cost scales the more you get in survival endless, and even then there are other strategies that can be used in normal survival games and adventure mode. Sure its great for survival endless, but what other use does it have outside of that? Compared to other upgradable plants, this one is probably the worst. Twin Sunflower and Gatling Pea is great for saving space. Winter Melon is just good in general. Gloom Shroom has more strategies and can help against thrwon imps and digger zombies. Spikerock helps keep zombonis and gargs away from tall nut while damaging the weaker zombies. Gold Magnet is especially useful for pc users who have to either spam to collect lots of coins. Cattail is a good earlygame plant. But what does cob cannon have? Strong damage that can be acheived using gatling peas and torchwoods.


TextPsychological601

Giga Gargantuars: Hold my electric pole


LueIsBlue

Pvz1 can withstand 9 garg hits, should be more than enough time for gatlings and torchwoods to beat it


Sans_Power2

If I hear you say gold magnet is bad again I'll physically come over and slap you. It's one of my favourite plants and it is a must to have 2 of them in survival endless.


Theguywhoneverfits

Doom shroom just use cherry bomb because you don't get a crater also the price difference is only 25 sun


toaster9637

Cactus, magnet shroom at least does it job right, but cactus IS easily replecable by blover


Electrical-Pop9464

Cactus


grapejuce223

unpopular opinion i know, but i'd say plantern is pretty bad. like just use blover. plantern is only good with pumpkin anyways.


TextPsychological601

Nah I absolutely agree plantern is easily the 3rd worst plant in the game behind only Marigold and Gold Magnet in my opinion.


themagicdonut2

How does gold magnet work again?


eeeeeeeeee9601

Last stand endless money farms: "Am I a joke to you?"


eeeeeeeeee9601

Plantern is worse as you can beat fog without it Blover is at least helpful due to it taking care of balloon zombies if you are stupid enough to not plant cactus


IAmTheRealXYZ

yeah tbh unless you're 100%'ing the game marigold is quite useless.


hollowpotato-of-doom

Google coin farming


whatiswrongwithearth

Gold magnet was not worth the money. He's not an upgrade he's downgrade


No_Secret_8246

I have used both pretty often for Survival and last stand. I'd say stuff like the Cactus, Hypnoshroom and the Sea Shroom are much better candidates than those, because I only used them in their introduction levels and if they happen to drop from a conveyor belt. Hypnoshroom might be the worst one even though I like it a lot design wise.


SeaworthinessOk5177

for pc, i'd agree. but because on mobile the puzzles all cost 500,000, i'd say marigold. why? survival endless, you just place a gold magnet and build a good defense. then you can even buy all the bacon.


Nikolasaros

Gold Magnet because it is there for you to pick coins dropped by Marigolds automatically.


Your_local_idiot_3

Cactus is useless Atleats marigold and gold magnet are good for coin duping
