Plants vs Zombies 2 - Zomboss - Seedium Showcase - Blockoli - May 2024

Plant of the Week - Blockoli - was offered between May 19, 2024 through May 26, 2024.

Blockoli is a member of the Reinforce-Mint family.
Blockoli costs 75 Sun. (-25 Sun at levels 5 and 10.)
Blockoli heals 400 hit points to the plant on its immediate right. (+50 healing per level except levels 4 and 8.)
Blockoli can heal every six (6) seconds. (-1 second on levels 4 and 8.)
When given plant food, Blockoli heals all plants in a 3x3 area around it.
This effect happens every time Reinforce-Mint is planted.

Commentary:
While the obvious use case would be for plants like Wall-nut or Tall-nut, Endurian would be a nice plant as it damages zombies who eat it. Same with a powered up Murkadamian Nut. Chard Guard would be nice allowing for quicker regeneration of the leaves. Pumpkins would also be a nice plant as it would allow for some melee plants like Bonk Choy or Snapdragon to be better protected while being on the front lines.

Bottom Line:
Blockoli's 75 + Pumpkin's 150 = 225 Sun * 5 = 1,125 Sun which is quite a lot to spend on defense. Blockoli + Wall-nut = 125 which is not a bad block. Although Tall-nut costs the same and has many more hit points, blocks fliers and saves a column.

We do not “hate” Blockoli. It's not a bad plant. We just find the use case quite limited. (Survive for X minutes.) The game also requires the player to eliminate the zombies and Sun spent on defensive plants is Sun that is not spent on offensive plants.

Perks = Plant Food Perk / Zom-B-gone (Zcorpions removed) / Boss Buster (Damages Zomboss)

We do not get a preview of Penny's Pursuit before it is released. So what you see is what players get.

We also try to vary the strategies from week to week and showcasing different plants and strategies and ideas. Using the same strategy week after week would be boring to see.
