ACkee

ACkee is the sixth plant unlocked in Lightning Ridge in Plants vs. Zombies: Lost World, after beating Level 11A. ACkees take time (10 seconds) to charge up an attack where they will release a flurry of electric bolts from their air conditioner that chill zombies, releasing them onto the first zombie in their lane (if there is none, ACkee will wait before releasing their attack), where the electricity will arc to other nearby zombies, damaging and chilling all of them, slowing them down.
==Origins==
ACkee's name is a portmanteau of the acronym 'AC' and 'ackee'. The ackee (scientific name being Blighia sapida) is the fruit that ACkee is based on. The acronym 'AC', which can stand for both 'alternating current' or 'air conditioner', refers to the chilling electric bolts that ACkee uses to attack zombies.

ACkee
Sun cost: 250
Recharge: Mediocre
Releases multiple chilling electric bolts at zombies, but takes time to charge up.
Plasma is superheated gas, and electric bolts are made of plasma, but ACkee fires cold electric bol— “Stop. This is PvZ. Things work different here. A'ight?” Ugh, fine...

===Plant Food power===
When fed Plant Food, ACkee will charge up their air conditioner and release huge amounts of electricity to zombies in their lane, and the lanes above and below, which will heavily arc and deal 900 DPS worth of damage and freeze (for 10 seconds) all zombies that are caught in the attack.

==Strategies==
ACkee is an excellent choice for stalling hordes of zombies due to his wide-spread chilling attacks (plus bonus moderate damage to zombies that are hit by the attack), albeit he needs time to charge up before he can release his electric bolts. Due to his long charging time, he is preferably paired with other offensive plants to act as a utility plant rather than as one of the main attackers, especially with electric plants as he can synergize well with any electric plants that are able to supercharge zombies, which make zombies more vulnerable to electric attacks (e.g. Laser Bean, whose ability has been slightly altered in Lost World).
