Strategies

Oak Archer is akin to a Peashooter with an arguably better Plant Food ability and higher damage output (100 damage per shot), which means he has a high DPS for his price.

Later, he can mow zombies with extra arrows in extra lanes, giving it the ability to pierce multiple zombies. Pairing this with Winter Melons or other supportive and defensive plants is recommended as the damage will add up. 

Oak Archer is a great plant to bring into levels but practice caution when using it in Kongfu World since Hammer Zombie can reflect it. Be sure to bring an area-of-effect or lobbed-shot plant to back it up.

Trivia

• His Almanac entry alludes to the Skyrim meme Arrow in the knee.
• His projectiles use the splash effect caused by peas. This could mean his wooden arrows are re-textured peas, similar to how Guacodile's pits are also re-textured peas.
• He, Coconut Cannon, Bowling Bulb, and Guacodile are the only plants to have a Brain Buster created exclusively for them, not counting Special Delivery.
  • His own Brain Buster is called Oak Archery.
• Prior to the 1.3.2 update, Hammer Zombies could not return his projectiles.
• He, Coffee Bean and Plantern are the only Chinese-exclusive plants in Dark Ages.
• On his Almanac icon, Oak Archer appears to have his stump off the tile.
