Plants vs Zombies 2 - Epic Quest - Seedium Plant Showcase - Ultomato - March 2023

This Penny's quest focuses on the Seedium plant Ultomato and was offered between between March 1, 2023 and March 8, 2023.

Ultomato is a member of the Fila-Mint family.
Ultomato costs 250 Sun. (-25 Sun at levels 2, 5, 8 and 10.)
Ultomato can be planted on top of itself to mutate into a more powerful version of itself.
Each additional Ultomato planting will increase the cost by 50 Sun. (-25 Sun at level 4.)
Ultomato fires a ray which will deal pass-through damage should a zombie be eliminated.
Small Ultomatoes do 350 damage. (+25 per level.)
Medium Ultomatoes do 750 damage. (+50 per level.)
Big Ultomates do 1,600 damage. (+100 per level.)
When given plant food, Ultomato will do 1,800 damage to all zombies in a 9x7 area. (+100 damage on levels 3, 6, 9 and 10.) This will destroy Ultomato.

Commentary:
We love this plant. The pass-through damage means no firepower will be wasted - the main reason why Citron is not played much. Why waste a powerful shot on a nearly defeated zombie?

Bottom Line:
As much as we love this plant, it is simply too expensive to properly utilize. It would cost thousands of Sun to get a column of tier 3 Ultomatoes. One would also need Sun producers and other plants. Many levels simply do not last long enough for this to be feasible.

While the pass-through is a nice utility, the amount of wasted firepower is not really significant for plants other than Citron. One simply does not need pass-through that much.

One interesting use case is the “full lawn Cherry Bomb”. Whether it is a level full of plant leaves or a Boosterama Arena, spending 250 Sun to do 1,800 damage to all zombies is not insignificant.
