Granny Smith

Granny Smith is a premium lobber plant that was recently introduced in the new 8.6.2 update in Plants vs. Zombies 2. It was added and available for purchase in the "Granny Smith Bundle" from May 13th, 2020 to the end of the month, during which a tournament was held where it was possible to garner enough seed packets to unlock Granny Smith. 
It was only possible to unlock her via these methods until on October 21, 2020 nearly the same tournament was held and all apple-related plants were given a permanent discount. It was also announced soon-after that the discounts would be permanent and that it was possible to find some of Granny Smith's seed packets in the Modern Day piñatas.
It attacks by lobbing a singular apple pie down it's lane, somewhat similarly to other lobbing-plants. However, the pie not only damages the zombie, but also slow them down and leave a burn which would hurt them over time. It is also stated that plants who are caught in the pie's splash are partly healed. 
== Origins ==
It is based off an apple, more specifically the Granny Smith variant. These kind of apples are known for their tart, yet sweet and acidic taste. It remains firm when baked, thus making it a popular choice for baking into pies and other sweet apple-related confectionaries. Thus, the ability related to said sweet. 
Not to mention, the factors with her design being aged and actually possibly older than most plants, her red-checkered outfit draped around her; all in correlation with her namesake 'Granny Smith', and how her design is inspired simply around the word granny.
== Upgrades ==
=== Plant Food Effect ===
Upon being given plant food, Granny Smith would briefly turn into a much more vibrant and younger version of herself before abruptly shooting out several apple pies- much bigger than their normal variant. All of which, would start raining down on the lawn from above, similarly to Melon-pult's PF effect, and depending on which got hit would either heal them (the plants), or heavily slow and burn them (the zombies). 
=== Arma-mint's effect ===
As long as Arma-mint is on the lawn, Granny Smith's reloading rate would be temporarily shortened to three seconds but her damage would not be increased. However, her burn effect would last far longer and do more damage than usual. All the while, zombies hit with her pie may have a chance to be stunned for only a few seconds. Damaged plants also hit with her pie would recover more health than usual and instead of maxing out the health of those who have been unhurt, they instead will gain the extra health added to their overall toughness.

== Strategies ==
Even though the AOE could be left much to be desired, especially being limited to the range of 1x3 already making it outclassed by similar plants like Winter-melon or Apple Mortar, Granny Smith is strong in crowd-controlling high zombie densities, especially with her ability to not only slow down the zombies with her special pie mixture but being able to damage them and leave them with a burning effect similar to Shadow-shroom's poison effect, while also simultaneously healing any nearby plants in the process. Unlike Apple Mortar, she already has two things that can help her in dealing with hordes of zombies. With only a column full of her, she will be able to at least take down at least enough of the zombie horde on her own. 
But unfortunately like Apple Mortar, not only in some cases she will still have problems with zombies that are able to either deflect her projectile or avoid it altogether like the Parasol Zombie from Lost City or the Jester Zombie from Dark Ages, but she will also have problems with incredibly heavy wave of zombies and would start to falter if it get's too much. 
It's in your best judgement to pair Granny Smith with more stalling plants to keep the horde at bay like Hurrikale or Chard Guard when playing levels with heavier waves,, as to not only keep them away from her, but to be able start building a decent defense as well as Granny Smith stalls the zombies. She will do well in worlds like Lost City, where the Imp Porters will prove to be a problem with their moderate-to-heavy spawning rate and how easily they can overwhelm your defense, or the constant barrage of Turquoise Zombies lasering down your lawn, leaving you fraught and defenseless as their comrades storm into your temple with ease. 
Or Big Wave Beach, where the Snorkeling Zombie, Surfer Zombie, and Fishing Zombie would prove inadequate to the prowess of stalling plants, but Granny would take difficulty in destroying the octopi quickly with her slow fire-rate. 
We also have Jurassic March, and Modern Day where the zombie density is much higher than the past worlds and a decent coverage of plants will be needed. 
Surprisingly, using her strategy-wise is similar to that of Apple Mortar, although there are some major differences considering Granny Smith's cost, slow fire-rate and mediocre recharge speed, which would prove to be tedious when there are other plants that can provide to be better alternatives in most levels. She is best paired with not only stalling plants, but also defensive ones as they can consistently heal them they are being eaten, making them a bit of a decent combo.

== Trivia ==
* Granny Smith was partly inspired by the plant, Caramel Apple, which is a plant that slows down zombies when bitten, and is made by Boston Pineapple.
*May 13th is National Apple Pie day, and October 21st is Apple Day in the UK.
* There was a glitch in where Granny Smith's eyes would briefly bug out and stay stuck on the top of her head until she launches her next pie. It was later fixed in an update.
* Originally, the Chinese version of Granny Smith was going to have an ability where it was able to launch miniature, explosive versions of her pie at the zombies when a set amount of plants were eaten. This was later scrapped during playtesting when some of the players intentionally let their plants be eaten in order for this ability to be triggered.
* Granny Smith was originally going to be a plant that would've been bought with gems before the developers later changed it to be only obtainable via purchase or through Arena.
* One of the code-miners noticed while digging through the code was an unused summary for Granny Smith where she originally baked her grandchildren into her pies and subsequently served them around. It was later revealed that it was scrapped for being a bit too dark.
*There is a slight difference in the seed packets between the Chinese and International versions.
* This is a remake of one of my plants: Granny Smith Apple Launcher.
* And this is a creation by yours truly, GlaceGlacierDude.
* Also a big thank you to Kyao, Ani, and Aster for brainstorming some really cool ideas and suggestions regarding Granny Smith, I really couldn't have done it without you three.
