How to choose between Cactus and Watermelon
In Plants vs Brainrots your loadout is only six plants, so each slot has to earn its place. When two plants share a role, take the higher-tier one and sell the other; when they fill different roles (Attack vs Attack), you usually want both - one to clear waves and one to carry the economy. Rarity drives cost, not raw power, so do not overpay for a Secret plant if a cheaper Mythical covers the same job in your current biome. Run your shortlist through the build planner before you spend, and recheck the tier list after each major patch since damage and attack speed get rebalanced often.
