==About==
Impactus is the upgrade of , and therefore must be planted on it. It fires thorns, like it's downgrade, but does more damage (3nds or 60dps) and can pierce through 4 zombies. If a projectile reaches its pierce limit, it will split into 2 more projectiles that travel up and down, and deal slightly less damage and pierce less than the original projectile, more precisely: 2nds (or 40dps) and can pierce through 2 zombies, but don't split further. 
Unlike it's downgrade, its projectiles can be ignited via , and can be chilled if it passes through an ice-based plants (e.g. , , and sleeping ). The burning projectile gets a bigger damage increase than pea projectiles, but lose the multiplier the more it pierces (3x -> 2.5x -> 2x -> 1.5x). This is the same for its projectiles begin chilled, whereas it's slow effect is weakened (-50% speed -> -40% -> 35% -> 30%).
==Origins==
Impactus's name is a portmanteau of "impact", which is the act of colliding with something, and "cactus", referring to its downgrade.
The plant has nothing to do with colliding, it's just there to make it sound cool.

==Strategies==
Impactus is a very powerful plant, due to its pierce ability and synergy with plants. At maximum, Impactus can hurt 8 zombies at once, which is already impressive. This plant can substitute in strategies due to its ability to hit multiple zombies at once, which is something Gatling Pea lacks. However, Impactus's DPS is some players will consider before switching. favors raw DPS, while Impactus favors multi-target attacks.
On the cold side of synergy, Impactus pairs better with than , as the latter already has a multi-hit effect and is harder to place in all rows quickly.
This plant's major weakness is getting set up, as it's downgrade, , is incredibly weak on its own and needs support from other plants.
