Plants vs Zombies 2 - Plant of the Week - Explode-o-Nut - January 2024

Plant of the Week - Explode-o-Nut was offered between January 20, 2024 through January 27, 2024.

35 Explode-o-Nut seeds are awarded for completing this event consisting of five (5) levels.

Explode-o-Nut is a member of the Bombard-Mint family.
Explode-o-Nut costs 50 Sun.
Explode-o-Nut can absorb 3,000 damage.
When Explode-o-Nut is defeated, it will explode dealing 1,800 damage to all zombies in a 3x3 area around it. (+100 damage on levels 2, 3, 5 and 7. +200 on level 9.)

Commentary:
This plant is just so good, there really is not much to dislike about it.
At 50 Sun, this is cheaper than any nut.
The fastest recharge time of any plant at level one is five (5) seconds. Explode-o-Nut is in that category.
When Explode-o-Nut explodes, the effect is the same as Cherry Bomb, which costs 3x as much.
Even though this is a single effect plant, it is cheap enough and recharges quick enough that this plant could be your only real plant and the level would still be completed.

Bottom Line:
This plant would be a viable if it cost 200 Sun. At 50 Sun, there is simply no reason not to obtain this plant a gain a few levels while it is available.
