Recharge: Fast

Escape Root can be planted on a plant to make a portal. The plant then disappears into the portal. The portal stays there until you tap it. Then the plant will reappear on the tile, and the portal will disappear.if a  Very OP and unbalanced. The recharge and cost just won't cut it.

Escape Root would cost 200 sun, and has a Fast recharge. Since it is covered in roots, it cannot attack yet. However, the more zombies there are, the less roots. Once there are little to no roots left, it will start whipping zombies in a 3x3 area with the roots, dealing heavy damage. After a while, it regains its roots. If powered up by a Moonflower, it does more damage and its roots grow back MUCH faster.

Also, if it is covered in roots, it has an elevated toughness. Zombies can destroy its roots, making Escape Root able to attack. Weak af. I'd rather bomb that 3 x 3 area with Grapeshot for a profit of 50 sun.

Also, that idea basically gives this plant the property of a limitation that's conincides with the zombies present on screen. That means it cannot be used when planted early when there are few zombies as then the roots won't go away. Your idea bascially cripples the useability of the plant. Balanced but impractical on the lawn..
