Beet Beater

Beet Beater is a Premium Plant in Plants Vs. Zombies 2
== OVERVIEW ==
Beet Beater will punch Zombies, much like Bonk Choy or Wasabi Whip, within his 2 tile range. He prioritizes hitting Zombies behind him, and only hits one Zombie at a time. However, when being eaten by a Zombie he will put his hands up in a block. In this form, he will have 3000 HP (for comparison, a Wall-Nut has 4000 HP), or in other words, the HP of an Endurian. Additionally, if bitten too many times by a Zombie, he will counter-attack with an upper-cut, hitting all Zombies in the two tiles in front of him, and then release a second behind him. The upper-cut will push Zombies back 4 tiles and stun them for 0.5 seconds. Much like Primal Peashooter, Zombies are susceptible to Blover when being pushed back by him.
== STATS ==
HP: 3000 (when blocking). 300 (when not blocking).
Range: 2 tiles in front and behind him.
Recharge: 10s
Family: Enforce-mint
Almanac Entry: "Beet Beater grew up in the good part of town. But he took up boxing anyways. Why, you ask? Simple: A delicate mix of boredom and anger issues".
== BOOSTS ==
=== ENFORCE-MINT BOOST ===
When boosted by Enforce-mint, he will deal and extra 100 damage per punch.
=== PLANT FOOD ===
When fed Plant Food, he will pull out a Zombie magnet and pull all Zombies 5 tiles in front of him right to him, before punching them for 1000 DPS of damage and sending them to the end of the lane. Any Zombies not within the range will be be pushed to the end of the lane by the punched Zombies and take 300 DPS of damage. He will also heal to full health and gain an iron helmet, which gives him and extra 1000 HP.
== STRATEGY ==
Due to Beet Beater's decently high cost, it is recommended to set up a temporary defense before beginning to plant them. Once planted, Beet Beater can be very potent against Zombies. An effective way to use him is to simply set up two columns of them. When they are planted like this, even if the first row is being eaten, the second row will still punch the Zombies and take them out. He can also be effectively used with Spikeweed, Spikerock or especially Iceweed, due to his properties as a semi-wall plant (Iceweed specifically better due to his chill effect making the Beet Beater be eaten slower. They also fit comfortably into the two column strategy). Much like other melee plants, Gargantuars may prove to be a threat for them. In the case you use them in a level with a Gargantuar, considering bringing extra insta-kills to help with defeating them. Finally, you can use them with Blover to very quickly mow down to Zombies.
