Icy Currant (寒冰醋栗: pinyin: Hán bīng cù lì) is a plant in the Chinese version of Plants vs. Zombies 2 introduced in the 2.2.4 update alongside Electric Peashooter and Hot Date. Like Electric Currant, two Icy Currants on the same lane or column will generate an ice wall that slows down zombies. He can attack zombies by creating an ice tile on his tile that slows zombies down to defend himself.

Origins

Like Electric Currant, he is based on the currant, more specifically, the white currant.

His name is a combination of the words "icy," referring his ability and appearance and "currant," the real-life plant he based on.

Strategies

Use this plant as you would an Electric Currant. Pair him with Sweet Potato or Garlic to make sure all zombies go within range. Keep in mind that he does not have a ranged attack unless you have multiple in the same column or row.

However, Icy Current has a lot of weakness. The aforementioned short-range makes him impractical for damaging and slowing zombies. In addition, there are far better slowing options, such as Snow Pea, Sap-fling, or Cold Snapdragon.
