Talk:Electro Pea/@comment-26593304-20160417034639

Okay, so I know people have been saying this guy sucks in the comments because of its detonation. I got this literally half an hour ago and played a little with it. Here's my verdict:

He is only bad at long range. This is because you can't spam shots like with other Peas. However, at mid- and short-range (not really short range.... maybe, say, from the base of the Flag of Power to the edge of the little circle its in) it is excellent. This short range allows the Electro Pea to spam its shot-burst thing. If you mash the trigger at this range, you'll get a steady flow of large explosions, doing considerable damage to anything in its radius. And with the electric link damage, it expands the range to anything near even just one enemy. Also, if you're trying to hit an opponent at Chomper range but miss, the huge explosion has a chance of getting them anyway. This, combined with its speed (and possibly a few HP upgrades) make it a worthy opponent at mid- or short-range.

So anyway, there you go. Whoever didn't like this guy is free to present a counterargument. Also, this is only from about 10 minutes of a short Flag of Power run. I didn't even try it in Solo Play or Garden Ops or anything.
