## Strategies

Electric Peashooter can potentially be one of the more potent piercing plants in the game. Not only can he hit every zombie in his lane like Laser Bean, but the shots also crackle into other lanes, potentially defeating many weakened zombies at once. This makes him great against Zombie Chickens and Ice Weasels, due to the number of zombies that will likely be hit. They are also effective against zombies such as Imp Cannon, Disco-tron 3000, Imp Porter, Troglobite, and Arcade Zombie as they can target them and all of their summoned zombies at the same time. Because of his similarities to Laser Bean, the two are interchangeable in which to use them. Laser Bean will be more useful in worlds like Pirate Seas where zombies are grouped up in lanes because of his Plant Food effect, while in worlds like Wild West , Electric Peashooter will shine as he can deal with Zombie Chickens more efficiently. He is also useful in Ancient Egypt, Dark Ages and Frostbite Caves, since his peas pass through tombstones and frozen blocks. His Plant Food power is great against groups of zombies, as he fires three giant peas that split into smaller ones. However, Electric Peashooters should not be your only offense, for they fire fairly slowly, and their cost is a bit high. Having other plants to defend or support Electric Peashooter will help. Also, note that unlike most peashooting plants, this does not benefit from Torchwood. Keep this in mind and use defensive plants to help him instead. He is also good for getting rid of tombstones or melting frozen plants or zombies, much like other piercing plants. Another thing to note is that unlike Threepeater, Electric Peashooter cannot attack zombies in other lanes if there is nothing to attack in its lane.

Electric Peashooter is a great plant against Jester Zombies since these peas can hit them without getting deflected, even though they are projectiles. He can also defeat Reanimator Zombies easily without letting them drop their Summoning Tombs. Moreover, he can hit Excavator Zombies and Shield Zombies directly since the projectiles penetrate their shields.

## Balance Changes

### Version 1.5.2

* Sun cost: 325 > 375
* Projectile damage: 10 > 5
* Bolt attack speed frequency: 0.25s > 0.35s

### Version 1.6.1

* Bolt attack speed frequency: 0.35 > 0.5
	+ Dev Note: Self-explanatory nerf.

### Version 1.6.2

* Bolt damage: 10 -> 8
	+ Dev Note: This change seems minor. It's far from minor. EPea's main damage source ARE the bolts, and this is a 20% hit to them. This plant has always been a balancing enigma, so we hope this puts him down for good.
