Snapdragon (pvzc)

Snapdragon is a plant in Plants vs. Zombies: Collide that breathes flames in a 3x2 area in front of him every 1.85 - 2 seconds, dealing 30 damage to any zombie within that area.
Snapdragon is the 5th plant unlocked and the first fire plant unlocked
== Origins ==
Snapdragon is based off of the plant of the same name and appearance from Plants vs. Zombies 2.
Which is based on the dragon flower, or snapdragon. a flowering plant in the genus Antirrhinum. The name is also a pun, as Snapdragon's head is similar to that of a fictional European dragon and can breathe fire.
== Overview ==
In Plants vs. Zombies: Collide, he is the 5th plant unlocked in Suburbia. He functions like he does in Plants vs. Zombies 2 emitting a wall of flames in a 3x3 area in front of him. Hitting both the tiles above and below him. The fire deals 30 dps and can thaw chilled and frozen enemies and does not damage Firefighter Zombie. Snapdragon can also thaw Zomboni ice trails. Upgrading Snapdragon to level 3, allows him to disable Zomboni from making ice trails. Along with Threepeater and Starfruit. Snapdragon attacks whenever a zombie or tombstone appears in his area and effect.

== Strategies ==
=== Adventure Mode ===
Snapdragon is the first area of effect plants the player obtains in Adventure Mode and can stay relevant in future levels and Tower Defence. He functions almost identical to he does in Plants vs. Zombies 2. His unique attack allows for up to 15 snapdragons to stack their attack (20 if all upgraded to level 1) dealing great damage to low health zombies. This combined with the fact he can hit multiple zombies makes him a better choice to Bonk Choy for most zombies. A wall of level 0 Snapdragons does as much damage as a level 0 wall of Bonk Choys. Snapdragon does not do well with Ice Plants or most water element plants. Therefore Cold Snapdragon outclasses Snapdragon. Zapdragon also fires lightning in a 3x2 area in front of him. The lightning also can 
Snapdragon can also thaw Zomboni ice trails and when upgraded to level 3, can defeat Zombonis quicker. Making him a great counter to Zomboni.
Snapdragons are excellent against Screendoor Zombie, Newspaper Zombie and Sunbather Zombie as his flames pierce through shields. Snapdragon also burns Newspaper Zombie’s newspaper instantly. Allowing him to be defeated quicker. Expecially if Snapdragon is upgraded to level 2 or 3. 
Because of Snapdragon’s effective range. Snapdragon works well when defending the star from Flying Imp. If possible Plant Snapdragons above and below and on the lane it’s on so when the flying imp arrives, he will be defeated quicker. 
=== iZombie/Tower Defence ===
Using Zomboni and any type of shield zombie is ineffective against Snapdragon. Snapdragon will not be able to hurt Firefighter. Firefighter will also be able to burn Snapdragon and any wall in front of him. Snapdragon is unable to attack behind so using Digger Zombie will be able to attack Snapdragon defences from within. Balloon and Steampunk Zombie will be able to fly over him. Trucker Gargantuar can use his tire to crush Snapdragon. However when closer (especially when Snapdragon is at level 1) Snapdragon’s flames can go through the tire.
