Rocket-a-vera

Blast-o-vera is the third plant obtained in Astronomical Moon in Plants vs. Zombies 2. It shoots rockets that go smaller and weaker overtime. 
When Blast-o-vera fires his rockets, they shrink and slow down for every three tiles it passes. Its first form does 200 damage per shot, its second form deals 125 DPS that deals splash damage to zombies near the target's 3x1 radius, and its third form deals 40 DPS that pierces zombies.
==Origins==
Blast-o-vera is based on the plant Aloe vera, which is a herbal medicine since the first century AD belonging to the Aloe genus. The name is a combination of the words "blast," "o," and "aloe vera"
==Almanac entry==
Sun cost: 475
DAMAGE: Normal
RANGE: Straight
RECHARGE: Sluggish
Blast-o-vera launches fast, large and powerful rockets that change form the farther they get.
Special: rockets change form overtime
Blast-o-vera never understood why his rockets shrink. He's an engineer, but he can't get his rockets right. "Maybe I'll get it right another day." Seeing that he hasn't fixed them for at least 5000 years, we could say that the day he will get it right will never come.
==Plant Food upgrade==
When fed with Plant Food, Blast-o-vera will shoot a 450 DPS rocket that will pierce all zombies in a row in a speed faster than his rocket's base form. The rocket will also deal splash damage that deals 200 DPS
==Strategies ==
Blast-o-vera is a very useful plant in strategies due to it's changing damage shots, being compared to Coconut Cannon and Banana Launcher. It is a powerful force to be reckoned with when in large numbers. However, its high sun cost requires the player to either use him alongside other damage dealers, or put in full commitment in order to use him in his highest potential.
Prior to v10.0.1, it was recommended to plant Blast-o-veras near zombies for maximum damage, but placing them in a distance is a good idea if you want to attack zombies from a distance. However, this will make your rockets deal only half damage. It is a good idea to place Blast-o-veras right in front or behind endangered plants in order to ensure maximum safety for your plants by dealing 200 DPS to nearby zombies.
As of the v10.0.1 update, Blast-o-veras became much more versatile as the plant can now be a heavy-hitter or two different degrees of crowd controllers depending on how far they are from the zombies.
