Enchanterelle

Enchanterelle is a plant in Plants vs. Zombies 2 introduced in the 8.6.3 update, and an upcoming plant in Plants vs. Zombies: Save The World. Her main ability is to heal plants within a 3x3 area. 
== About ==
Enchanterelle costs 125 sun to plant, and her main ability is to heal plants, but she also has other abilities other than that, and these are:
* The ability to poison zombies within a 3x3 area
* The ability to knockback zombies within a 2 tile range, with a 10% chance of it happening.
The plant that Enchanterelle can heal must have a health below 75%, and if she does heal a plant, the plant will gain half of it's original health (Example, a Level 1 Peashooter when healed by Enchanterelle will gain 150 dps, since his original health is 300 dps.) 
Her poison can deal 25 dps to the zombie, and the said poison cannot break grid items such as tombstones and surfboards. 
She also has a 10% chance to knockback zombies if a zombie is within 2 tiles in front of her. This knockback can push zombies a tile back.
Enchanterelle can be unlocked for 250 seed packets, and the player can do so by playing her tournament named "Enchanterelle's Magical Season" which was available from October 15, 2019 to November 17, 2019. If you have missed it, you can still obtain her seed packets in Dark Ages piñatas.
== Origins ==
Enchanterelle is based on Chanterelle cibarius or Cantharellus cibarius, a species of golden chanterelle mushroom.
Enchanterelle is a portmanteau of enchant/enchanter, which means to put someone under a spell/someone who uses magic or sorcery, and Chanterelle, the plant she is based on.
Her almanac entry states that her real name is Enchanter Elle, but she said that Enchanterelle sounded much better.

== Upgrades ==
=== Plant food effect ===
When given plant food, Enchanterelle will heal all plants to max health in the Enchant-mint family. She also poisons all zombies present on the board, and the poison will last for 10 seconds, dealing 10 dps each second (100 dps in total).
=== Enchant-mint effect ===
When Enchant-mint is on the lawn, Enchanterelle will now heal plants in a 5x5 radius, and her poison will deal 75 DPS (still poisons in 3x3 area). Her knockback will increase to 5 tiles, and her knockback range increases to 4 tiles. Her knockback chance increases to 25%. Her plant food's poison will now deal 25 dps each second.
=== Level Upgrades ===
*Note: She heals plants by half of its original toughness. (ex. A Level 1 Peashooter when healed by Enchanterelle will gain 150 dps, since his starting toughness is 300 dps.)
==Strategies==
Enchanterelle and Aloe are really similar. They both heal plants, but what makes Enchanterelle better is that she can poison nearby zombies, as well as having a chance to knockback zombies. Nonetheless, they are both good for healing plants. 
An advantage that Enchanterelle has is her poison. Like other poison plants, Enchanterelle can kill an armored zombie with ease, since the poison can bypass any armor. Using Enchanterelle against zombies like Pharaoh Zombie and Excavator Zombie is recommended, but don't use her against strong zombies, since her poison is too weak to defeat them.
A good aspect about this plant is that she can knockback zombies. She has a 10% chance to knockback zombies, and if she does, she can protect both your other plants and herself from being eaten and give a bit more time for your other offensive plants to finish the zombie off. The knockback can be a little annoying if you use a lobbed-shot plant though, because if the projectile was shot and at the same time was knockbacked by Enchanterelle, the lobbed-shot will waste a projectile.
She can be used to counter Jester Zombie, since she does not have any solid projectile that can be reflected by him. She, however, cannot do anything to Healer Zombie and Zombie Medusa, since they are immune to Enchanterelle's poison attack. They are not immune to her knockback though.
Her plant food might seem a bit weak and useless, but the healing effect she gives to Enchant-mint plants can be useful to plants like Witch Hazel, Caulipower, and Zoybean Pod if they have been damaged a lot or if the lane they are in are constantly being attacked, therefore lasting them for a bit longer. She also poisons all zombies for 10 seconds, dealing 10 dps each second. This can bypass armor, and if the zombie is too strong to be killed by the poison, it can weaken it, making it easier for your other offensive plants to finish the job. It is still unreliable though, since it can fail to kill a single zombie. 
Enchanterelle is best used in the middle of your defense, because she can poison the zombies just in case the zombies eat through your defenses. 
Unlike Aloe, Enchanterelle cannot overheal plants. Instead, she heals a plant by half of it's original toughness. She is best used in tandem with defensive plants, because they have really high health. 
Overall, Enchanterelle is a decent support plant. She can be used as a substitute to Aloe if you missed his tournament, and can be used to lightly damage zombies for your other stronger plants to finish them off.

==Trivia==
*This is Chickenwastaken's first verified article.
*Despite being able to poison zombies and is a fungi, Enchanterelle is not in the Ail-mint family.
**That is because Enchanterelle has some sort of capacity to produce magic, that being her ability to cast a spell to heal plants and poison zombies. That makes her belong to the Enchant-mint family.
*There was a glitch where if you used Imitater on her, the imitated Enchanterelle would sometimes do nothing and become useless. In super rare occasions, the Enchanterelle would be invincible to any zombie attacks, but you were able to shovel it back.
**It was a bit rare though, so that might be the reason why it took them quite a while to notice. The said glitch has been fixed on the following update.
*Enchanterelle is the second plant to have an ability to heal other plants, with the first being Aloe.
**If you count Heavenly Peach from PvZ2C, Enchanterelle is the third plant that can heal other plants.
***Coincidentally, Heavenly Peach and Enchanterelle heal in a 3x3 area, costs 125 sun to plant, and has a mediocre recharge.
*The smaller mushroom is the one who heals plants, and the bigger mushroom is the one who both knockbacks and poisons zombies.
