Repeater

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

## **Tower Info**

**Repeater** shoots 2 peas at a time against Bloons which is twice as much damage than a regular Peashooter. He has some very useful upgrades to spice up your gameplay and make those Bloons not so dangerous against you!

## **Upgrades**

***Left path upgrades***:

**Effect:** Increases attack range and projectile distance by 25.

**Tier:** 1

**Effect:** Increases the pierce of Repeater's main attack and ability peas from one to two. The giant pea at the very end from Repeater's Ability does eighty damage instead of fifty to a bloon.

**Tier:** 2

**Effect:** Every attack Repeater can either shoot out a fire pea which sets bloons on fire which does damage every second over three seconds but more damage and pop anything or snow peas which can slow bloons and MOABs down but cannot pop white and zebra bloons. The elemental peas are fired slightly quicker than normal peas.

**Tier:** 3

**Effect:** Repeater also fires out poisonous peas and electric peas in addition of firing snow peas and fire peas in every attack. Increases the damage on both snow and fire peas by a big amount and improves the effects on them for more overall bloon stalling and popping power.

**Tier:** 4

***Right path upgrades***:

**Effect:** Shoots peas 0.25 seconds quicker.

**Tier:** 1

**Tier:** 2

**Tier:** 3

**Effect:** Unlocks the Machine Gun ability for Repeater. When activated, Repeater shoots out 90 peas in a line which does four layers worth of bloon damage each, total damage from all peas hit on a bloon is 360 and fires a giant pea after six seconds which does fifty damage to a single bloon. Repeater's Ability has a recharge cooldown of 20 seconds after use.

**Tier:** 4

## **Strategy**

### **Summary**

Repeater shares the same role as Peashooter as a peashooting plant who fires two peas at a time 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 early late game because of the ability to slow MOABs down with snow peas from the Elemental Peas upgrade and allows lead popping which makes him better than Peashooter overall. Repeater has fair stats, but has a very good ability to help you take down even MOAB class bloons with a powerful high damage giant pea.

### **Tips**

* **Repeater** 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, Repeater is better off using if you need the slowdown effect on those Bloons with the Elemental Peas upgrade and can be a good support plant.
* **Repeater** has a mild lead weakness, so all upgrades and his ability cannot pop them beside Elemental Peas (the fire and snow peas). Repeater can be used as a support plant to stall bloons and MOABs with snow peas from Elemental Peas. Improvised Pea Power will make the slowdown more effective. Repeater's ability is a improved ability of Peashooter's, but can be good against Ceramics and early MOABs if timed/used right.
* **Repeater** falls off very late game due to DDTs and ZOMGs. Repeater is outclassed by plants such as Gatling Pea because he has better upgrades and do a lot more damage and has infinite range. Because plants such as Gatling Pea performs better than him late game, Repeater is still a good plant to use during the mid game rounds especially stalling those MOABs and BFBs with snow peas.
