Strategies
While Repeater has not changed much during the transition to the new game, the loss of fire peas' splash damage capability has put a significant dent in Repeater's usefulness, as well as other peashooting plants'. This is only worsened by the increased number of enemies that can either block or deflect straight shooting projectiles, and the fact that Repeater faces competition from Fire Peashooter, which deals identical damage at a slightly cheaper price tag, can thaw nearby plants in Frostbite Caves, but does not benefit from Torchwood, and cannot deal damage to Imp Dragon Zombies. In conclusion, while Repeater may have retained his profile throughout the games, he has failed to catch up with the changing environment and consequently dropped in usability.
A Repeater's Plant Food upgrade with the help of Torchwood's fire can kill a normal Gargantuar (90*2=180), and, if he is helped with Torchwood's napalm fire, he can even kill a Jurassic Gargantuar.
Note that the Chinese upgraded effects for this plant can be seen as contradictory, since it shoots fire, ice, and napalm peas at the same time, making the ice peas useless.

Trivia
- The helmet seen during Repeater's Plant Food ability is a Stahlhelm, a steel helmet used by the German military in the two World Wars.
- Formerly in the Chinese version, his Almanac entry is different. It is a reference to the fact that he was a money premium plant.
