Tips and tricks

 * The EMPeach can both stun and damage all zombies affected by the attack. Its best use is against a group of zombies.
 * The Peel Shield only blocks attacks from the front, so avoid being flanked.
 * Citron Ball is best used to advance up to tactical positions or for a quick escape.
 * You can use your primary weapon while using the Peel Shield to improve your chances of success in a fight.
 * If you use Citron Ball while you are using Peel Shield, you will lose the shield!
 * Use the enhanced speed from Hyper Ball to distract zombie players while your teammates deal some damage.
 * Do not overestimate your shield. It can be broken if it takes too much damage.
 * Spin Dash will instantly kill any Imp; if they are giving you trouble, charge right into them.

Trivia

 * Citron seems to be the only plant class that originates from Plants vs. Zombies 2, although it is heavily redesigned.
 * It might be based off of the Droideka from the Star Wars saga. Both can turn into a ball and roll around, deploy shields, and fire laser-like blasts from their appendages.
 * Citron's Citron Ball skill could be a reference to Samus Aran's Morph Ball from the Metroid series.
 * His description also says: The Citron is a time-travelling bounty hunter which may also referring to Samus Aran because she is a galactic bounty hunter.
 * It being mentioned that it is from the future references Far Future.
 * The original Citron was from Far Future as well.
 * EMPeach, its ability, is based off the plant of (almost) the same name from Far Future.
 * Citron and Rose, along with their variants, are the only plants to wield an actual weapon. Citron is equipped with an orange laser blaster.
 * When firing the Orange Beam, the sound from the Sunflower's Sunbeam can be heard.
 * The sentence, "He's here to chew bubblegum and kick Z-Mech butt, and he's all out of bubblegum" may be a reference to a scene from a 90's movie They Live.

 * The player can also customize the looks of Citron whilst in its Ball Mode.
