Blueberry Spartan

__NOTOC__
Blueberry Spartan is a plant in Plants vs. Zombies 2. It is a seasonal plant, tied to Blueberry Spartan's Thundering Season in . Blueberry Spartan initially blocks damage with his shield, which can absorb up to 1500 damage before breaking and regenerates after a 7-second delay at a rate of 250 damage every 0.5 seconds. The shield can also resist up to three instant-kill attacks, such as smashes or punches.
When the shield breaks, Blueberry Spartan unleashes an electric shockwave that pushes all zombies in a 3x1 area around him back 1 tile. He'll then go into an electrical fury and switch to attacking with his lightning spear, stabbing the closest zombie to him up to 2 tiles away for 120 damage every 1.35-1.5 seconds and also forking lightning to 8 other zombies up to 1 tile apart each, dealing 120 damage to all of them. Zamn! Uniquely, no electric chains are consumed when hitting a critter like , making an excellent counter.
If Blueberry Spartan doesn't attack for 5 seconds, he'll regenerate his shield, put away his spear, and return to a defensive form. It'll take a moment to fully restore the shield since it comes back at 250 health, but the regeneration is quick so it shouldn't take too long. Each time it breaks, Blueberry Spartan goes back into the electric combat rage mode, making him an interesting pick.
==Origins==
	Blueberry Spartan is based on , which in turn is based on the bamboo, an evergreen perennial flowering plant in the subfamily Bambuseae of the grass family Poaceae.
	Blueberry Spartan is personally based off a blueberry, a widely distributed and widespread group of perennial flowering plants with blue or purple berries. They are classified in the section Cyanococcus within the genus Vaccinium. Vaccinium also includes cranberries, bilberries, huckleberries and Madeira blueberries.
	Blueberry Spartan is also based on a Spartan soldier. Subjected to military drills since early manhood, the Blueberry Spartans became one of the most feared and formidable military forces in the ancient Leek world, attaining legendary status in their wars against Peppersia. At the height of Sparta's power – between the 6th and 4th centuries BC – other Leeks commonly accepted that "one Blueberry Spartan was worth several blueberries of any other state."

===Plant Food Effect===
When fed Plant Food, there are two different things that can happen. If in his defensive form, Blueberry Spartan's shield will be healed to full health and become indestructible for 15 seconds as well as blocking a 3x1 area instead of just being personal protection. If in his offensive form, Blueberry Spartan channels lightning through his spear and strikes 20 random tiles on the lawn with lightning over the course of 2 seconds, dealing 1000 armor-piercing damage to zombies on them and immediately destroying any grid items like tombstones, arcade machines, or tents regardless of their toughness.
===Fila-mint Effect===
When boosted with , Blueberry Spartan's shield regenerates constantly with no delay, and if he's enraged the rage won't be able to run out for the duration of the mint.

==Strategies==
Blueberry Spartans are great at blocking attacks with their regenerative shields. To maximize their potential, position them strategically in front of vulnerable close-range plants such as , , or or important areas to absorb incoming damage. Blueberry Spartan is an especially good counterpick for as its shield can take a beating from them. The more damage Blueberry Spartan takes, the more Furious it gets. Try to keep them in the line of fire to build up their Fury quickly by breaking their shield.
Once the Blueberry Spartan's shield has been obliterated, it switches to an electric spear attack that can decimate zombies far and wide. But the Fury doesn't last forever, and neither does the incredibly high damage output it brings out of Blueberry Spartan. You can also use to maximize how long his Fury lasts. Make sure to unleash it at the right moment to clear out large groups of zombies. Since the spear does chain lightning damage, it's especially effective against critters like and . Consider placing Blueberry Spartans near groups of zombies or in lanes where multiple zombies are approaching. This way, their electric spear attack can have maximum impact, and their shield can be busted down more quickly.
Remember, bro, experimenting with different strategies and adapting to the zombie waves is key to success in Plants vs. Zombies 2. Have fun and keep those zombies at bay, bro!
