Robo Call

Robo Call is an ability for the Imp in Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2 and Plants vs. Zombies: Battle for Neighborville. When used, the Imp will use his walkie-talkie to summon the respective Z-Mech for that variant which will fall from the sky. The Imp will enter the Z-Mech and trade his usual abilities and weapons for greatly increased health and new abilities. This is a common ability shared by all Imp variants.

Strategies[]

When Activating this ability, be aware of your surroundings as any chompers could swallow you mid call (instantly reseting your mech ability). This counts as a Mech kill for the chomper, and also forces you to wait an extended period of time before you can summon it again.

Try to activate this ability when you are pushing an objective (best activated on rooftops where chompers can't swallow you).

Balancing changes[]

Battle for Neighborville[]

• ▲ Initial refresh reduced from 120 seconds to 61 seconds
• ▲ Subsequent refresh reduced from 120 seconds to 90 seconds

Trivia[]

• The way the Z-Mech falls from the sky may be a reference to the game Titanfall, another game created by Electronic Arts.
• Imps in Mechs will take normal damage when a projectile hits the glass of the Mech instead of reduced damage.
  • Rose will always do normal damage to the Mech.
• While calling the Mech, the Imp will occasionally say "brains" into the walkie-talkie.
• The Bling Pylon Mech does 5 more damage than the normal Pylon Mech and has no other differences.
• The Party Mech has the same icon as the default Z-Mech.
• It used to be that the player were invincible for a time while calling in your mech. Whether this was a bug or intended, it might not be known, as this was removed from the game. This is still a feature on console versions of the game.
• If the Imp gets swallowed while calling in the Mech, the Mech will explode before even landing where the Imp was and the Chomper will be credited with XP for destroying the Mech.
