Threepeater

**Threepeater** is a attacking plant that is available for Plants vs. Bloons.

## **Strategy**

### **Summary**

Threepeater shares the same role as Peashooter as a peashooting plant who fires three peas at once on those atrocious Bloons. His main role is to help you defend early game bloons and help against mid-game with his powerful upgrades. He is good up to mid late game because of the ability to deal excellent MOAB damage when spammed. Threepeater has good stats, but has a very powerful ability to help you pop MOABs quicker and excel Ceramics.

### **Tips**

* **Threepeater** is also a good starting plant to help you hold the Bloons off. It's low piercing peas can help out during the early rounds whilst farming with Sunflowers to actually earn additional sun. Just like Peashooter and Repeater, Threepeater is better against stronger Bloons if you have 4th Tier upgrades though, especially if spammed.
* **Threepeater** has a lead weakness, so all upgrades and his ability cannot pop them. Threepeater needs support against Lead Bloons in order for him to be worthwhile. Threepeater has good MOAB damage, but his ability is a powerful ability of Peashooter's which can be used to destroy MOABs in seconds.
* **Threepeater** falls off super late game (i.e. round 53) due to increasingly ramped MOAB class bloons. Threepeater is outclassed by Gatling Pea because he has better upgrades and do a lot more damage and has infinite range. Threepeater is somewhat good against pugnaciously dangerous Bloon rushes if spammed, but the latter is much better for MOAB DPS especially against massively ramped MOAB class bloons.

## **Version History**

Just like Peashooter and Repeater, Threepeater when he was released was a decent plant which actually did okay. 2.0 did change Threepeater to reduce the low upgrades' prices by a small amount just like the aforementioned Peashooter and Repeater and he finally got a balance change on V4.0 which makes his left path upgrades more robust.

V2.0

* Cost of Long Range Peas decreased ($175 → $150).
* Cost of Piercing Peas decreased ($350 → $275).
* Cost of Faster Shooting decreased ($275 → $225).
* Cost of Awesome Eyesight decreased ($350 → $300).

V4.0

* Cost of Double Strike increased ($900 → $1,300).
* Double Strike pea pierce increased from 2 → 4.
* Cost of Triple Strike increased ($5,000 → $7,000).
* Triple Strike pea pierce increased from 4 → 6.
* Triple Strike pea damage increased from 3 → 4.

V4.5

* Piercing Peas also increases the pierce from Machine Gun Threepeater ability peas from 1 → 2.

## **Trivia**

* Threepeater is a triple Peashooter from the PvZ series, whose job to do is fire a triple dose of peas which each of the three peas are in one lane but there's one pea each against the zombie onslaught.
