If the droplets come into contact with zombie armor (i.e. , ) and/or grid items like , it'll take the 60 damage as normal, but also take damage over time equal to 10% of its base health for 5 seconds.

__TOC__
==Origins==
Pulpverizer is based on an orange, the fruit of a tree in the family Rutaceae, characterized by its orange color (duh) and sour taste. Being a Citrus fruit, oranges are naturally acidic - not to the degree of being able to break down objects, of course, although that is what inspired Pulpverizer's ability to deal damage over time to armor and grid items.
Pulpverizer's stem takes the shape of a double-barreled shotgun, a break action shotgun with two parallel barrels, allowing two single shots that can be fired simultaneously or sequentially in quick succession. Shotguns are famously known for their strong scatter shots, which is what his attack method is based on.
His name is a portmanteau of: 
*Pulp, the inner flesh of a fruit, such as an orange.
* Pulverizer, or more accurately Pulverize, which means "to reduce" which could allude to his damage over time gimmick.

===B-Side===
Pulpverizer's B-Side increases the amount of droplets he fires from 8 to 10, but also makes them more compressed. This means that he has a much higher damage output, but less area coverage.

==Strategies ==
Pulpverizer's strength comes from his ability to easily deal with groups of armored zombies. ? No problem. ? Nothing to worry about there. As long as they're within his line of sight, they'll be easy to deal with. Because of his short range, it's imperative that he be placed on the frontline - preferably behind or inside . If you want to double down on the Pumpkin strat, you can plant behind for a steady source of healing.
Thanks to his relatively high damage output, theoretically, if a zombie were to get real up close and personal to Pulpverizer, said zombie will get hit by all the fired orange juice droplets and take massive damage, not to mention any armor that zombie may or may not be wearing. This makes Pulpverizer a really good counter to tanky threats like and or depending on the game.
It's best to actually take advantage of his attack coverage instead of forcing him to take on one zombie at a time. If anything, you should avoid using and to redirect zombies to his lane, because no, he does not have splash damage, and no, he is pretty bad against stacked groups of zombies. When faced with such foes, you should instead use other plants with actual AoE or piercing attacks to thin them out, like or .
Since he's so good against relatively spread out groups of zombies, this makes him a viable counter to and , among other zombies who create or come with more zombie minions. His high damage output also means that he'll be able to dustbin the other zombies pretty quickly. This isn't always a good thing, however, as you also have major threats like , who releases far too many for Pulpverizer to keep up with. To combat this, make sure to use the aforementioned AoE plants to quickly deal with the small pests. Or y'know, just place down more Pulpverizers?
His position as a frontline attacker also puts various grid items like , , and the like into his line of sight, meaning that he can deal with them quickly and with relative ease. Percent-based damage is a powerful tool, y'know. This also makes him a prime counter for zombies that create such grid items, like , , , so on and so forth. In case of the latter, though, place down a cheap plant like to act as bait for the surfboard so as to not lose an expensive attacker in the process.
Being a frontline fighter, Pulpverizer is of course subject to the terror of . For one, they're tanky. For two, they can easily crush the poor Pulpverizers in their way. And for three, they're tanky. It's imperative you bring some form of counterattack in order to deal with them. Either take them out quickly using and , or pin them in place using and .
=== Exclusive ===
Because this game's waves and zombie spawns are so aggressive and unforgiving at times, it's recommended you don't rely too much on Pulpverizer as your main attacker. If you do choose to bring him to a level, partner him up with an AoE attacker - preferably to help with thinning out the waves.
He's a pretty good pick for and , as he can easily deal with the present on the lawn, not to mention him being able to effectively counter some of the more dangerous threats like and for the former, and and for the latter. For , he can easily melt through ice blocks. Do remember he is not a fire plant and therefore requires heating.
He's got a pretty interesting case for - namely against and - as he's simultaneously a good and bad pick against them. While yes, he can easily remove the grid items and obstacles they create, especially the octopi if they're directly in front of him so they soak up all the hits (Which let's be real is more of a bad thing than good), but at the same time, these two zombies specialize in neutralizing and attacking your front line, and remind me what Pulpverizer's position on your lawn is again? Oh, that's right, the front line. If you want to take advantage of Pulpverizer's positives in this world without having any of the negatives, just make sure you bring answers to the octopi like a levelled up or some .
