Wild Berry (PvZ: BfN)

__NOTOC__
Wild Berry is a playable plant class in Plants vs. Zombies: Battle for Neighborville. She is an Attack class that specializes in dealing lots of area damage with her primary and her abilities.
When vanquished, Wild Berry causes an explosion at her position with the following stats: Blast damage = 40, Inner blast radius = 3.9999 m, Blast radius = 4 m, Shockwave damage = 10, Shockwave radius = 4.5 m.
==Description==
===In-game description===
Wild Berries are berry powerful attackers that have explosive personality and excel at controlling areas with sweet, sweet berry fury.
==Primary Weapon==
Wild Berry's primary weapon is the Berry Blast, which fires explosive berry shots which deal 9 direct damage and 5 splash damage (direct hit includes splash) in a small area at a rate of 390 RPM (rounds per minute) or RPS (rounds per second) with DPS ( splash). Berry Blast can hold 20 ammo and must reload for 1.2s once it is depleted.
==Abilities==
===Seed Speed===
When activated, Wild Berry dashes 22 meters in a direction, leaving behind a trail of explosive seeds. There are a total of 40 seeds, each 0.5 meters apart. The seeds explode down the line after an initial 0.75-second delay, with a 0.05-second delay between each seed exploding. When a seed explodes, it does 3 damage in a 1.6-meter area. It takes 16 seconds to recharge.
===Berry Crazy===
When activated, Wild Berry starts to spin around rapidly, disabling any other attacks or abilities but moving 20% faster for 2 seconds. While spinning, Wild Berry rapidly fires off a total of 40 energized berries randomly around her, each being affected by gravity, moving fairly quickly, and dealing 11 damage in a 2-meter area on impact. It takes 21 seconds to recharge.
===Bounce-Up Berry===
When activated, Wild Berry causes an explosion at her position with the following stats: 40 blast damage, 3.25m inner blast radius, 4.75m blast radius, 10 shockwave damage, 6m shockwave radius. The explosion also knocks enemies back and propels Wild Berry 12 meters up into the air. It takes 16 seconds to recharge.
==Upgrades==
==Strategies==
===With===
Wild Berry excels at huge explosive damage and high mobility. Bounce-Up Berry can be very useful for getting to high places or as a last resort damage ability (as the explosion is quite large), and Berry Blast is very efficient for taking out groups of zombies clustered together. If multiple zombies are in a narrow hallway or a cramped area, Berry Blast can hit a bunch of them at once, massively increasing her already powerful damage output.
Seed Speed is a very versatile ability. Firstly, you can use to leave behind a seed trail and deal damage to enemies that are near you or following you, and secondly you can use it to get away from attackers, get to a better position, or dash towards those attackers to unleash a devastating Berry Crazy strike. While using Berry Crazy, you gain increased mobility, although it is recommended you get close to your targets before using it as it will immediately start firing and won't last long enough to position yourself better.
===Against===
Wild Berry can be a very powerful foe, as her abilities make her hard to hit and she can deal tons of damage with Berry Blast or Berry Crazy. Using a close-range character such as the Super Brainz is not generally a good idea as you need to get quite close in order to be fully effective which leaves you vulnerable to the likes of Bounce-Up Berry and Seed Speed. If you can play a character that has enough range to vanquish Wild Berry from a distance, such as Foot Soldier or Captain Deadbeard, you should be fairly well off.
