Infernoak

Infernoak is a straight-shooting Plant in the game Plants vs. Zombies: Suburbia Defenders. He is unlocked at the end of Alternate Path D in Furious Forest.
When Zombies are 2 or more tiles away from Infernoak, Infernoak will slowly charge up and shoot powerful fireballs down the lane. Each fireball takes 3 seconds to charge up and deals 4 damage to the first Zombie hit plus 2 splash damage to other Zombies on the tile.
When Zombies are less than 2 tiles away from Infernoak, Infernoak will instead shoot a constant flame at the closest Zombie, dealing 1 damage every 0.5 seconds until there are no Zombies within 2 tiles of Infernoak.
==Origins:==
Infernoak is based on the oak tree, a tree or shrub in the genus Quercus of the beech family, and the word "inferno", meaning a large fire that is dangerously out of control. It may also be based on forest fires, as it is a tree that is covered in flames. Due to this, its design and abilities are primarily based on fire.
== Overview ==
Although expensive, Infernoak is absolutely worth his high cost and slow recharge. His fireball attack does tons of damage to a Zombie and quite a bit of damage to Zombies nearby, making him good at dealing with larger threats, and his fire breath is excellent at dealing with weaker Zombies who've managed to slip past your defenses. Although his high costs when upgraded might seem daunting to inexperienced players, it is definitely worth it, changing him from just a decent attacker to an amazing source of late-game damage.

== Almanac Entry ==
==Plant Food Powers:==
When Infernoak uses a Plant Food, Infernoak launches a giant fireball down the lane which scorches the first few Zombies it hits before exploding into a giant blast of flames.
==Power Mint Abilities:==
===Pepper-mint===
When boosted by Pepper-mint, Infernoak's fireballs deal splash damage in a 3x3 area and Infernoak's flames shoot twice as fast.
== Strategies ==
When using Infernoak, it is a good idea to place him near the front of your defenses, to make the most use of his powerful flame breath to deal with fast Zombies or weakened Zombies who've managed to slip past your defenses. It is also a good idea to set up a large amount of Sunflowers in order to generate sufficient sun to plant multiple Infernoaks, especially if you intend to use it as your main damage dealer. Infernoak synergizes very well with Sap-fling, as Sap-fling can slow down Zombies to allow Infernoak to deal more damage, without being an ice plant that Infernoak will remove the chill from. All in all, Infernoak is a great damage dealer and a decent crowd controller and should be treated and used as such.
