## **Version History**

Snapdragon has been a pretty balanced plant since release, but it became more prominent in Card Battles after the meta plants were nerfed. It has received slight reworks during later updates, but when it was discovered to be played in Assault mode matches, it was way too broken, so it got E-nerfed in the 14.6 update.

v6.0
* Snapdragon was added to the game. It was an exclusive plant for Card Battles.

v11.0

* The x-2 Fiery Eyesight upgrade was renamed to Burning Fire and reworked from giving Camo detection to allowing his attack to set Bloons afire for 1.5 damage/sec for 2s.
* The x-3 Burning Fire upgrade was renamed to Revolting Fire and was slightly reworked to have the same benefits as last time, but makes napalm damage go up to 4/sec and duration to 4s

v12.6
* The Fire King ability was reworked which now makes the fires much spread-out in a 3x3 area, but also deal continual damage over time for 5s, but the damage has been reduced from 200 → 10 to make up for it from putting superflames which didn't do continual damage and apply a DoT effect.

v14.5
* Snapdragon can be used in Assault matches if Cheat Engine was used during pregame lobby.

v14.6
* Cost of Long Range Fire increased ($90 → $200).
* Cost of Bigger Wall of Fire increased ($120 → $400).
* Cost of Cold Snapdragon increased ($600 → $1,400).
* Cost of Cryo Snapdragon increased ($3,800 → $13,000).
* Cost of Faster Breathing increased ($120 → $300).
* Cost of Burning Fire increased ($170 → $600).
* Cost of Revolting Fire increased ($500 → $1,200).
* Cost of Fire King increased ($2,500 → $5,700).

## **Trivia**

* Snapdragon works slightly differently than his PvZ2 counterpart, since he can do more damage if all flames land on a bloon whilst his PvZ2 counterpart deals damage once in a 1x3 area.
