Party Rose

Party Rose is a Legendary Rose variant in Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2. When the Party Rose gets enough vanquishes in a session, she will enter "Party Time!", which makes her move faster, deal more damage and take less damage from enemies.

The Party Rose cannot be unlocked through normal methods, which are sticker packs (excluding the Infinity Packs). Instead, the player must open Infinite Infinity Chests in Infinity Time to get her stickers, and that means he or she has to collect at least 25,000 Time Shards in that mode to have a chance at unlocking her.

Descriptions

Stickerbook description

There's never a dull moment when Party Rose comes around. Her Party Thistle fireworks routinely keep the Plant forces partying well past their bedtimes.

In-game description

Vanquish foes to fill her meter and initiate Party Time, where you'll move quicker and deal extra damage!

The Party Rose's primary weapon is called called Party Thistles.

The damage at all ranges is 8.5.
The ammo clip is 18.
The reload time is 2 seconds.
Her DPS is 38.25 (Which is atrocious).
The projectile speed is slow.
The weapon is full-auto.
The bloom and projectile diversion after 35m is high.
The weapon has a homing effect that can lock on an enemy.
The weapon has a legendary meter called "Party Time!" which is activated once the player gets 5 vanquishes in a row without dying.

Abilities

Party Time!	Party Time! is the variant ability for Party Rose. By getting Vanquishes, the bar for Party Time! fills up. When the meter is filled up, Party Time! activates (giving Party Rose a temporary speed and damage boost until the bar either depletes or until she is vanquished). If Party Rose is Vanquished before the meter is filled, the meter will reset.

Left abilities
Time Snare	This tricky spell disrupts the flow and space and time, temporary trapping helpless Zombies within!
Center abilities
Arcane Enigma	Only Rose could make transforming into a being of pure, invulnerable, damage-dealing energy seem so easy.
Arcane Lotus	Rose alters her magic slightly, allowing her to transform into a being of pure healing.
Right abilities
Goatify	The rudest and weirdest of Rose's ancient spells transforms Zombie foes into stinky old goats!
Psychedelic Goat	Psychedelic Goats don't last quite as long as their normal counterparts, but they are much harder to control.

Strategies

With

Party Rose is a fairly weak Party Variant, as while she deals only 1 less damage than her stock counterpart, she has 2 less ammo. Considering how weak her stock counterpart already is, she can be one of the most frustrating Plants in the game. Party Rose appreciates the damage bonus and the speed bonus provided by "Party Time!", however because of the nature of how weak Roses are in general, achieving it is a very hard task. A strategy to achieve the Party Time is vanquishing one zombie at a time or hide if low on health. Use spells when in danger. Try to not use Arcane Enigma during "Party Time!", as it stops and resets the meter. Due to Party Rose's low ammo capacity, it can be extremely difficult for some players to vanquish high health Zombies (All-Star, Super Brainz). Try to aim at injured Zombies or get a shared vanquish with someone.

Against

Party Rose is extremely weak without "Party Time!", so any Zombie could do the job. When she is in "Party Time!", Ice Characters, Super Brainz, All-Stars and Engineers can very easily take her down.

Trivia

When "Party Time!" is activated, the ballad jam played by the Boombox Zombie in Plants vs. Zombies 2 is played.
Just like the normal Rose, her sound effect when she shot continuously was changed from an ascending tone to a descending tone in the Trials of Gnomus DLC.
"Party Time!" will end if she enters Arcane Enigma or Arcane Lotus.
She is implied to be one of the three agents who got sucked into infinity in the mid-1980s, according to the Dave-bot 3000.1.
