Lotus-Pult (2024)

Lotus-Pult is a gemium Lobbed-shot plant in Plants vs. Zombies 2, first introduced in the 7.8.6 update. Lotus-pult can be unlocked for 100 gems, and be discounted to a lower price like 75 gems or possibly less, depending on the circumstances.
Lotus-Pult is a Lobbed-shot plant that lobs lotus flowers at zombies (or destructible environmental modifiers such as tombstones), that deals splash damage. The flowers will create Incense clouds, where all zombies in a 2x3 area slowed down, and take small amounts of damage before the affects wear off. 
==Origins ==
From his appearance, Lotus-pult is based on the Nelumbo nucifera, also known as the lotus flower. His name is a portmanteau between "Lotus Flower", the plant he is based on, and the word "Pult" given his function as a catapult. 
The Lotus flower across many cultures, mean "purity" Because lotuses rise from the mud without stains, they are often viewed as a symbol of purity. Since they return to the murky water each evening and open their blooms at the break of day, lotus flowers are also symbols of strength, resilience, and rebirth. 
Incense is an aromatic, biotic material that releases fragrant smoke when burnt. Incense is used for aesthetic reasons, religious worship, aromatherapy, meditation, and ceremony. It may also be used as a simple deodorant or insect repellent. 
This is refrenced by Lotus-pults ability to create incense clouds from his projectiles.

===Plant Food Effect===
When given plant food, Lotus-Pult will will launch big Lotus Flower at every zombie and obstacle on the lawn, dealing 200 damage to each zombie or obstacle. These Lotuses can't be deflected by the Jester Zombie. All zombies on-screen are left stunned for 30 seconds, and slowed for 15 seconds. The lotus cloud will deal 80 damage to the zombies inside the incense cloud. 
===Enchant-mint effect===
When boosted with Enchant-mint, the incense cloud's duration on an effected zombie would last twice as long. While Enchant-mint is on the lawn, Lotus-Pult does an additional 120 damage on its normal attack and an additional 600 damage on its Plant Food attack. Lotus Flower-Pult's incense cloud will have it's damage increased by an additional 40%.

==Strategies==
*Lotus-pult works as a stronger Cabbage-pult, but is much more effective. It's useful good for crowd control, being able to slow zombies, especially groups; makes it easy to keep the zombies from progressing due to the incense clouds that are created when Lotus-pult's projectiles come into with a target. Lotus-Pult's supporting ability should be taken advantage of, by using one or more, a whole lawn of zombies could be slowed. In addition to slowing zombies, he comes with the addition of providing your other offensive plants good damage support. 
*Lotus-pults is useful for stopping swarms, especially hordes of Zombie Chickens released by the Chicken Wrangler Zombie, and while Using any lobbed-shot plants or Primal Peashooter are a bad idea as they fire half as fast compared to a normal Peashooter while Ice Weasels are very fast, the incense cloud could be useful to taking out chickens/weasels. As they will be slowed down, and will be killed almost instantly because of the clouds damage output.
*Since the incense cloud can slow down fast zombies. Such as slowing any charging All-Star Zombies down, and slowing down flying zombies like Jetpack Zombies.
*As it is a lobbing plant, it is effective in Tombstones filled worlds like Ancient Egypt and Dark Ages, as well as against Excavator Zombies in Lost City. However it is not recommended to bring it to some levels of these worlds, mainly levels with Parasol Zombies and Jester Zombies.
*Using Lotus -pult can also help with stalling zombies that are dangerous, or have high value and need to be taken out. For example: in levels with Gargantuars, consider bringing Lotus-Pult, as slowing down a Gargantuar will delay them from approaching your house, and providing damage support for other plants; a Gargantuar can be killed off quicker.
=== Plants vs. Zombies 2 (Chinese version) ===
Lotus-pult's upgrades are very beneficial, as the incense clouds created from it projectiles are now the most powerful aspect of Lotus-Pults abilites. The splash properties of the projectiles and Incense A.O.E (Area of effect) make any strategy involving Lotus-pult a powerful asset to have. Note that it is not advised to use Lotus Flower-Pult as the ONLY damage dealer, even at higher levels. despite it's higher projectile damage, or any other stats(besides any related to the incense cloud), it's usefulness is at it's best when it's providing support other plants.
