Split Pea

The Split-pea is a normal peashooter forwards and a repeater backwards. It is reminiscent to a siamise twin.

Usage
Use the Split-pea where you would a normal Peashooter, but plant ahead of the rear line, so that it can fire backwards at Digger Zombies.

"Yeah, I'm a Gemini," says Split Pea. "I know, big surprise. But having two heads --or really, one head with a large head-like growth on the back-- pays off big in my line of work."

Standard levels
This plant is really a one-trick pony - it's only really needed on the earliest levels that you know you will have Digger Zombies. Plant at least on the second row, or even further to the right, to give your Split Pea time to kill the Digger Zombie. Otherwise, it will most likely eat the plant before enough damage is done to kill it. Later levels are better served by the Magnet-shroom or Starfruit. The Split Pea can also serve as a relatively cheap defender for the first round. If you place the plant behind the first zombie, you can gather sun longer before placing your defenses - because the split pea shoots two peas backwards, it quickly dispatches the zombies that have passed. By placing the torchwood before the Split Pea, it can also become pretty effective against Digger Zombies. This can be effective if you have to play the level with predetermined plants and you have no room to waste slots.

I, Zombie levels
The Split Pea is far too effective against the Digger Zombie. Use the Buckethead Zombie or other tough zombies to get through the Split Pea lanes.

Appearance
Split Pea is a cross between a Peashooter and a Repeater.
