Electric Blueberry

*Electric Blueberries randomly electrocute zombies every so often.*

**Electric Blueberry prides herself on being eclectic as well as electric. "I like to keep 'em guessing," she says. "A zombie should always be like, 'Whoa, didn't see that coming,' when it's disintegrated."**

**Electric Blueberry** is the first plant available in Neon Mixtape Tour Extra in *Alternate UniverZ*. Approximately every 21.5 seconds, Electric Blueberry creates a thundercloud that has a 20% chance to target a normal zombie, a 60% for a unique zombie or a 20% for a Gargantuar on the lawn, and rapidly electrocutes it with 1200 damage lightning strikes until the target is defeated.

Electric Blueberry is unlocked after beating NMTX-I.

Electric Blueberries randomly electrocute zombies every so often.
Electric Blueberry prides herself on being eclectic as well as electric. "I like to keep 'em guessing," she says. "A zombie should always be like, 'Whoa, didn't see that coming,' when it's disintegrated."

## Plant Food effect

When fed Plant Food, Electric Blueberry will quickly produce a thundercloud with no visual distinction from normal ones. However, this cloud can target up to three zombies before fading and evaporate almost every opponent on hit, with the damage value being 5000; if there are no zombies on the lawn, the cloud will fade away in an identical manner to regular ones.

## Strategies

Electric Blueberry is undoubtedly a very powerful plant, being one of the few plants capable of killing a full-healthed Gargantuar. However, the length of time she takes to make a cloud, alongside the very slow recharge speed and the randomization of the targeted zombies, make it hard to plant enough Electric Blueberries to be used on her own for harder levels. Therefore, Electric Blueberry should be used as a secondary attack plant to deal with high health targets. Do not use this as your primary offense as fast zombies can quickly overwhelm her.

Electric Blueberry pairs particularly well with:

* Strong defensive plants like Tall-nut or Infi-nut.
* Piercing plants that can quickly defeat weaker enemies such as Phat Beet, Snapdragon, and Laser Bean.

Electric Blueberry is a powerful choice in Last Stand levels, since her recharge speed is no longer a concern and the plant herself is relatively cheap, allowing several to be planted at a time. She works best in levels where zombies are not in such large numbers and have a large amount of health instead, but it is difficult to use on her own in levels where extremely large numbers of weak zombies spawn during the level.

**Avoid** using Electric Blueberry in fast-paced levels with a lot of zombies, like the ones listed below. This is because Electric Blueberry can only target one zombie at a time and sleeps for a long time afterwards, so use other attacking plants instead.

Do NOT use Electric Blueberry on her own when Bassist Zombies are present, as she will not target them, allowing them to send even more shockwaves than dealing with them normally.
