Revision as of 19:43, 6 June 2018

Electro Citron is the Super Rare electric variant of Citron in Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2. The Electro Charger is his primary weapon.

Apart from being able to spread damage to multiple nearby enemies, the Electro Charger can also be charged up to release a powerful shot, similarly to Plasma Pea and Future Cactus. However, doing this will require 8 ammo, which is 1/3 of the maximum 24-ammo supply of the weapon. He was first teased in the Aloe 5: Gardening spoof image but was later shown in solo-play gameplay video of Solo Ops.

Descriptions

Stickerbook description

Electro Citron tells people that his mask is to conceal his secret identity, but it's really just part of an elaborate grounding system that prevents him from shocking himself every time he blinks.

In-game description

Hold down fire to charge his primary attack across three distinct power levels!

The Electro Citron's primary weapon is the Electro Charger. It is a chargeable and single shot weapon that deals 7-75 impact damage and 8-82 critical damage both depending on the charge rate. It will also deal up to 45 normal splash damage and 15 electric splash damage.

Strategies

With

Electro Citron fills the niche that many Electric variants try to fill, which is the anti-team role. If enemies are bunched together and you fire a fully charged shot at one of the players in the middle of the group, you can do intense damage to both your target and the allies around them. The biggest downside to this Citron is the limited ammo, if you tend to use his fully charged shot, you will find yourself reloading often as the level three charge eats up a third of your ammo, in return for very massive damage, making this variant very capable of clearing out hordes of AI zombies, or players who are standing together at a heal station. Imps in particular make good targets, due to the surprisingly generous splash damage on the charger and their extremely low health.

Against

If you're low on health, you have to avoid your allies if there is an Electro Citron in the enemy team, being capable of destroying weakened teammates, and weaker teammates in general such as the Imp or Scientist. Keep your distance, and use cover as much as possible if one is around to avoid the massive damage that it can deliver if you're in his sights. Just beware of your allies standing too close to you as well, since he doesn't have to aim at you at all times to deal massive damage.

Trivia

  • His weapon uses the original 32-ammo clip that was planned for Citron, unlike most other variants which just shoot a laser with infinite ammo. This was later reduced to 24.
    • This is most likely because of its primary weapon being chargeable.
    • This is also similar with Iron Citron but it only has 1 ammo.
    • Him, Iron Citron and Toxic Citron are the only Citron variants that have not an unlimited-ammo-beam but single fired ammo.
  • According to his Stickerbook description, if he blinks while not wearing his mask, he shocks himself.
  • His appearance is similar to that of Shadow Flower.
  • He may be a reference to Electro from The Amazing Spiderman 2. Examples include him having lightning strikes in his body, not having any hat on default, wearing dark objects, the mask making his eyes look like Electro's.
