Strategies

Oak Archer is akin to a Peashooter with an arguably better Plant Food ability and a higher damage output (130 damage), which means he has a high DPS for his price. But because of his high sun cost, it is recommended to have high sun production by using plants such as Gold Bloom, Twin Sunflower and Sunflower Singer.

At level 2, he can shoot extra arrows in extra lanes, basically making it a fusion of Peashooter and Rotobaga or a level 2+ Gatling Pea. At level 3, he can be used like a fusion of Rotobaga and Cactus because he has 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. But the best level-up is arguably at level 5, as it has a chance to shoot ice arrows which can freeze zombies, making it a better Snow Pea

Oak Archer is a great plant to bring into levels but be careful when using him in Kongfu World since Hammer Zombies and Nunchaku Zombies can reflect his projectiles. Be sure to bring an area-of-effect plant such as Laser Bean and Snapdragon or a lobbed-shot plant such as Winter Melon or Primal Rafflesia to back him up.

Trivia

• His Almanac entry alludes to the Skyrim meme Arrow in the knee, particularly the quote "I used to be an adventurer like you, until I took an arrow to 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.
• Despite being in Dark Ages the Jester zombie can't reflect his arrows but can be reflected by Hammer and Nunchaku Zombie.
