Shroomies (PvZ: BfN)

The Shroomies (shown ingame as ShroomiesHi, just for your information, on this page it is written 'The Shroomies' for sake of proper grammar. 
Okay, you can stop looking at this and go read the rest of the page!
Seriously!) is a playable plant class in Plants vs. Zombies: Battle for Neighborville. They are part of the Swarm class, and specialize in providing a constant stream of mushrooms for the plant horde. Like the Wizard, The Shroomies do not have an opposite-team counterpart.
==Description==
===In game description===
== Special Ability ==
The Shroomies have a unique ability not seen in other characters, called Spore Spire. Upon spawning, the Shroomies character possesses 3 individual mushrooms stacked on top of each other. Each one of these has 50 health, and the top Shroomie always absorbs all damage. This includes area damage like the Super Stink Cloud.
If the top Shroomies' health is depleted, it dies independently and can only be revived by the Rapid Regrow ability. Then. the second Shroomie now takes damage. The character is only fully defeated if all 3 Shroomies die. At this point, the last Shroomie becomes a miniature (like Rose) and may now be revived.
==Primary Weapon==
=== Spore Shooter ===
The Shroomies' primary weapon is the Spore Shooter, a rapid fire attack which deals 5 damage (8 critical). The attack has ∞ ammo, however it must cooldown for 3.2 seconds after firing for 8 seconds. A unique gimmick of the Spore Shooter is that it fires at different rates depending on the number of Shroomies remaining. If there are 3 Shroomies, the weapon fires at 4.5 RPS. If there are two, it fires at 3.5 RPS, and finally, at one Shroomie it fires at 2.5 RPS. The Spore Shooter's spore projectile travels at 190m/s and is not affected by gravity.
== Abilities ==
=== Puffball ===
When this ability is activated, The Shroomies fire a large, blue spore, with similar gravitational properties to the Spikeweed ball. Upon landing, it creates a Puffball with six pipes (similarly to the Gloom-Shroom) and fires transparent spores in six directions at 9 RPS, dealing 6 damage, within an 8.5m radius. The Puffball can stick to walls and even ceilings, however it works best on the floor. It continues to fire until it is is destroyed (300 health) or when 6 seconds have passed.
Puffball takes 20 seconds to recharge, and can carry one charge.
=== Rapid Regrow ===
When this ability is activated, The Shroomies regain a Shroomie after two seconds. If the Shroomies take damage during this time, the ability does not work. Additionally, it gets 30% armor for 4 seconds. This ability can only be activated if there is less than 3 Shroomies remaining. 
Rapid Regrow takes 15 seconds to recharge, and can carry one charge.
=== Mushy Mitosis ===
When this ability is activated, The Shroomies lose one Shroomie (if there are three Shroomies), and it turns into a minion. The minion has the username of the player, making it difficult to tell them apart. Kills by the minion count as player kills.
Mushy Mitosis takes 28 seconds to recharge, and can carry one charge.
===== The Shroomie Minion =====
The Minion has 50 health, and attacks with the Spore Shooter weapon of the main character. By pressing the Melee Attack button, you can toggle whether the minion follows you or acts like a summoned troop. A maximum of three Shroomie Minions can exist at one time, and they last for 30 seconds before disappearing. If the player is attacked, or attacks something, Shroomie Minions within 20m will attack the offender.
== Upgrades ==
== Strategies ==
=== As ===
The Shroomies are a very unique character, as they can basically sacrifice health for minion allies. A popular upgrade is Parasitic, as it allows offensive players to rack up minions and HP by simply defeating enemies. A popular upgrade for defensive players is Hyper Hyphae, as it allows the Shroomies to hold their ground for longer. Puffball can be used to completely dominate capture zones or points in Gnome Bomb.
However, there is one major drawback of the Shroomies, and that being the fact that they get weaker when they lose health, making retaliation more difficult. To counteract this, the player should always Regrow if the occasion arises.
=== Against ===
Shroomies are tricky plants to vanquish. You must look very carefully at Shroomie Minions. The only way to tell them apart from the real thing is by looking at their behaviour. Try to deal lots of damage at once to stop them from regrowing or using Radical Rage. If you are an All-Star, use your Dummy Shield to block Puffball attacks, as they are not armor-piercing.
