Dreadroot (PvZ: BfN)

__NOTOC__
Dreadroot is a playable plant class in Plants vs. Zombies: Battle for Neighborville. He is a Hybrid class and specializes in unleashing single, powerful attacks that pack a punch but can't afford to be missed.
==Description==
===In-game description===
Dreadroots blast zombies to bits with powerful lasers and sharp thorns. They can burrow underground to evade enemy fire, then charge up a devastating Dreadbeam attack.
==Primary Weapon==
Dreadroot's primary weapon is the Dreadbeam, which fires a laser that has a total of 4 distinct charge levels. Dreadbeam has no ammo capacity and can be fired as many times as you want, but has a 0.4-second delay after firing a charged shot that isn't included in DPS calculations.
At charge level 1, or technically uncharged, Dreadbeam deals 5 damage (7.5 critical) and fires at a rate of 300 RPM (rounds per minute) or RPS (rounds per second) with DPS ( critical). 
Charge level 2 takes 0.5 seconds to charge up, and Dreadbeam deals 20 damage (30 critical) and fires at a rate of 120 RPM (rounds per minute) or RPS (rounds per second) with DPS ( critical). 
Charge level 3 takes 1.5 seconds to charge up, and Dreadbeam deals 60 damage (90 critical) and fires at a rate of 50 RPM (rounds per minute) or RPS (rounds per second) with DPS ( critical). 
Charge level 4 takes 3 seconds to charge up, and Dreadbeam deals 90 damage (135 critical) and fires at a rate of 25 RPM (rounds per minute) or RPS (rounds per second) with DPS ( critical).
==Abilities==
===Laser Eye Surgery===
When activated, Dreadroot begins charging up a massive laser strike with 3 distinct power levels. Uncharged, the laser deals 20 damage (40 critical). If charged for 0.8 seconds for level 2, the laser deals 50 damage (100 critical). If charged for 1.7 seconds for level 3, the laser deals 75 damage (150 critical). The laser strike, no matter what charge level it's at, can be released by pressing [fire] or hitting the ability button again. Enemies vanquished by a level 3 Laser Eye Surgery are unrevivable. It takes 16 seconds to recharge when the laser is fired.
===Deep Roots===
When activated, Dreadroot submerges himself underground similarly to Burrow. Dreadroot can move freely when underground, moving 4 times faster than usual (and obviously he can't eat zombies or attack) as well as dealing 25 damage to enemies he hits while underground and knocking them upwards. Deep Roots lasts for a maximum of 1 second, but it can last up to 4x longer if the player isn't moving. After the ability ends, Dreadroot emerges and becomes vulnerable. It takes 6 seconds to recharge when the ability finishes.
===Vine Sight===
When activated, Dreadroot reveals the locations of enemies up to 100 meters away as well as their health bars and their health regen bars to himself and his teammates for a duration of 5 seconds. Dreadroot himself also can see indicators that specifically show enemies that are below 25% of their max health and indicators that specifically show vanquished enemies that are waiting to be revived. It takes 14 seconds to recharge when the ability finishes.
