Lightning Reed

Lightning Reed is a new plant in Plants vs. Zombies 2: It's About Time. Lightning Reeds fire electricity at the closest enemy within 3 lanes of where it is planted similar to the Threepeater. The electricity will also arc to another enemy if close enough.

Plant Food Upgrade
The Lightning Reeds plant food upgrade is that it will generate a small storm cloud that chases zombies, dealing massive damage and will then move onto another target and do the same.

This may come as a shock, but Lightning Reed has a serious passion for ham radio. His call sign is El3ctric H1ccup. You can tune in every Tuesday to hear him read the classics to elderly plants. This week: Seeds and Sensibility

Trivia

 * El3ctric H1ccup is an improper call sign for ham radio operators. A real one resembles something such as "K7PKRL."
 * It is also leetspeak for "Electric Hiccup."
 * It is really useful against Zombie Chickens, although it needs to hit over 15 times at a normal zombie to kill it, so it's better to pick it only when there are Chicken Wrangler Zombies.
 * Its attack is similar to Power Zap, a Power Up.
 * When a Zombie Bull is zapped, instead of a skeleton, like all other zombies, it reveals the mechanical parts used to make up the Zombie Bull.
