Flag of Power

Flag of Power
Classes available	All

Flag of Power is a new King of the Hill-inspired game mode in the Backyard Battleground and is located in the direct center of the map. The player, playing as a plant or zombie, can raise the flag in the middle of the map. Once the player raises the flag, their damage will be tripled and their resistance to damage will be four times higher. A large ring will appear around the flag, and the player must stay in the ring to ensure the flag stays up, as if they leave and an opponent is in the ring, the flag will start to lower. Four plant pots or Build-a-Bot stations will also appear to help the player protect the flag.

Crazy Dave or Dr. Zomboss (depending on which side the player is on) will unleash waves of AI foes, from normal AI, AI heroes, Al champions to Al bosses. In the middle of each wave, a reinforcement crate will be dropped in a random place on the battleground, and the player can break it to either get AI helpers or coins. After each wave, the player will be rewarded with lots of coins. After Crazy Dave or Dr. Zomboss has unleashed the last wave (a boss wave), they will start an endless mode, and an endless amount of AI foes will appear, from regular AI to AI bosses, just to see how long the player can hold the flag. If the opposite side manages to take down the flag by staying in the circle for a long time without a player or one of their allies from the reinforcement crates, the game will end, and all bosses and enemies created by the Flag of Power will instantly be vanquished.

This mode is not actually unlocked from the start of the game; the player must complete the Dave-bot 3000 mission "The Flag of Power."

In the multiplayer beta, it was unlocked from the beginning, possibly due to the fact that L.E.A.F. missions were not available in the beta.

Strategies

A good way to tell where your enemies will come from is watching where the first Champion spawns, as they're usually surrounded. When a Champion comes, do not kill it close to it's base. Wait for it to get closer if you'd like to collect the coins.

Having friends around to help is recommended to survive longer during the endless wave. Preferably, have 2 Scientists/Sunflowers, a heavy hitting class like All-Star or Kernel Corn, and a supporting or all-around class like Engineer, Citron, Peashooter or Foot Soldier. This combination will help to defeat the bosses for extended periods of time. Imps can be useful, but only in their Z-Mechs. Their low health means that they can get vanquished pretty fast (easier with a scientist pocketing you).

Sunflower Attack!

By BrandonPvZMaster

This is one of the easiest waves, so the strategy isn't very complex. Super Brainz is good against Sunflowers and Weeds. Use your long range weaponry against the Sunflowers, and strafe around the base of the flag to make yourself harder to hit. If any Weeds or Sunflowers sneak into the flag area, give them a one-two punch and you'll be fine. If you find yourself being overwhelmed, break out your Turbo Twister as a last resort.

Cactus Attack!

By Zambiealex

Using Captain Deadbeard is great to use against those Cacti! Sniping those Cacti afar will stop them getting to the flag. If they get too close you can use your Scurvy Scattershot to vanquish them easily.

Boss Attack!

By Gardenwarfarefan

It's best to use Peashooter, Kernel Corn, All-Star, Imp, Cactus, Captain Deadbeard and Foot Soldier. Their attacks are good for taking out bosses.

Trivia

• For an unknown reason, Rose got a x16 damage boost when raising the flag in the beta.
• This and Infinity Time are the only endless modes, and therefore, the player cannot actually "win."
• According to Dave-bot 3000, the Flag of Power is made by Crazy Dave.
  • Crazy Dave says that he made it out of a pair of his old pants.
• For an unknown reason, Baron von Bats and Zen Sensei do not appear in the Flag of Power in the full game.
  • This is most likely because they don't spawn in the Backyard Battleground to begin with.
• In the beta, the Endless Attack was titled "???."
