Who are the new characters on the plants side?
The plants have 3 new character classes to reinforce the front lines. They are:
Kernel Corn
The Kernel is ready to take the fight to the zombies. What he lacks in a sense of humor, he makes up for with attitude, and dual Cob Busters.
Primary Weapon
Cob Busters – What’s better than a fully-automatic corn cob blaster that explodes into popcorn? How about two!
Abilities
Butter Barrage – Throw down a steaming hot potato, then stand back and watch as Corn Bombers fly overhead and drop hot Butter Bombs on the battlefield.
Husk Hop – Let the power of corn propel you onward and upward as you rain kernels down on those below.
Shuck Shot – Charge up and unleash fury with two explosive, rocket-propelled corn cobs.
Rose
Rose is an extremely powerful sorceress who had a vision of a Zombie-controlled future. Determined to prevent this from coming to pass, she travelled forward in time to Suburbia to change the tide of battle.
Primary Weapon
Magic Thistles – These pesky magic thorns automatically seek out targets, attach to them, and then explode!
Abilities
Time Snare – Conjures a giant magic sphere that distorts time and temporarily binds those caught in its blast.
Arcane Enigma – Transform yourself into a being of pure energy, move faster than normal, become invincible, and deal damage to anyone foolish enough to get in your way.
Goatify – Hmm, better just try this one out for yourself.
Citron
Citron is a time-travelling bounty hunter from the future… and also an orange. His one of a kind transformation ability allows him to get into the action faster than any other Plant, then instantly transform to attack mode for maximum effectiveness!
Primary Weapon
Orange Laser – Orange Beam - Firing a bio-organic stream of orange plasma, this beam is both delicious and nutritious.
Abilities
EMPeach – Specifically designed to take down the Imp and his Z-Mech, this little guy will stun any Zombie in range, but is extra effective versus Z-Mechs.
Citron Mode – Change from battle mode to Citron mode at any time! While in Citron mode, charge up a super-fast and super-powerful spin dash attack.
Energy Shield – Deploy a one-way energy shield that absorbs all incoming damage, but still allows you to shoot through.
