Strategies[]

With[]

The Cricket Star's fire abilities are better suited at taking on groups of plants. The Cricket Star should never focus on one target for too long, as it ruins the point of having fire damage, instead, the Cricket Star should spread around its damage letting the fire vanquish weakened plants or leaving it to teammates. However, if the situation arises, the Cricket Star is great for taking on most singular targets, as your high health and fire damage should do the trick. in addition, even if you get vanquished, the fire damage will likely finish off most plants.

Against[]

Out of all the other All-Star characters, the Cricket Star is definitely an extremely dangerous variant. Its fire abilities can also make it a very annoying opponent to deal with, since you would always be taking fire damage from it from all ranges (this applies to all fire-variant characters). In just a few shots, it can take away about 15-25 HP from your health. If in the hands of an expert All-Star player, Cricket Star could burn down several or more plants in his way in a short amount of time. The best way to deal with it is to take advantage of its slow movement speed and its lowered damage by taking pot-shots at it with the Peashooter. Cacti can also take advantage by staying back and lowering its already lowered damage and snipe it from a distance. The best way is for a Chomper to simply eat him instantly but be careful as he can shoot it down easily.

Balancing changes[]

Trouble in Zombopolis: Part Two DLC[]
