Pea Vine is a premium plant in Plants vs. Zombies 2, introduced in the 8.8.1 update. Just like a typical Peashooter, Pea Vine attacks zombies by firing peas (every 1.35-1.5 seconds) at the first zombie down his lane.

Being a Vine plant, Pea Vine is able to be planted on another plant in the same tile to maximize offensive output, firing peas alongside the plant inside it. He can also boost damage of plants in his family within him.

Projectiles shot by Pea Vine or plants boosted by Pea Vine will have a small green orb bouncing around it.

Origins

Appearance-wise Pea Vine resembles a combination between Peashooter and Blastberry Vine; like most other pea-shooting plants, Pea Vine is based on the pea plant (Pisum sativum).

Specifically Pea Vine is based on the fact that pea plants are typically climbing vines.

^This is due to Pea Vine being on top of the boost tile, therefore boosting himself.

Strategies

At first glance, Pea Vine functions in the same way as a typical Peashooter. However, being a Vine plant, he can be planted on top of other plants to maximize offensive output, not to mention his damage boost to plants in his family. The damage boost is also applied to Pea Vine himself, and can be upgraded by level.

Torchwood, being a member of Appease-mint family, not only receives additional damage to his close-ranged and lane-wide defeat attacks, but also makes the peas that pass through him receive an extra 1.5 times damage bonus (3x at level 1). At max level, a single pea can even deal a massive 1980 damage with just one Pea vine and Torchwood.

Additionally, Pea Vine's additional Mastery damage is also affected by the damage boost, and the damage boost can even affect the Plant Food effect of Pea Vine himself and the plant on top of him. Appease-mint can boost his damage boost to 4x, and the peas shot by Appease-mint himself can be affected by the damage boost. If cooperating well, a lane of max level Pea Vines can easily overwhelm a Gargantuar of any kind. It is worth mentioning that Pea Vine's normal and Plant Food attacks inflict the same damage per shot, unlike most other plants in his family which deal less damage despite firing many more. Clever use of Plant Food can therefore eradicate many powerful threats in seconds with much greater overall effectiveness.

Pea Vine's weakness is the same as other peashooting or straight shooting plants, the peas shot by him could be easily blocked by Tombstones or Excavator Zombie, or reflected by Jester Zombie. Pea Vine will also be meaningless if working with Torchwood and there are Imp Dragon Zombies, or planting Red Stinger as a defensive plant (especially by planting him on the three rightmost columns). Draftodil, especially a leveled one, can be used as support as she can stun Jesters and destroy any Imps.

Balance changes

Update 9.5.1

• ▼ His damage boost can now only be applied once to Torchwood per lane.

Trivia

• Due to a bug, Pea Vine did not have a unique animation for its Plant Food effect. Instead, it defaulted to the last frame used before being fed with Plant Food. This was later fixed in the 9.0.1 update.
• Due to another bug, when viewing Pea Vine's Almanac entry, his position was higher than normal. This was later fixed in the 9.0.1 update.
• Before the 8.9 update, Pea Vine was before Boom Balloon Flower in the Almanac.
• Pea Vine is the second plant that has his idling animation similar to the watered or ready to level up animation, the first being Hocus Crocus.
• Pea Vine and Mega Gatling Pea are the only plants whose Plant Food effect can be boosted by Appease-mint.
• Pea Vine can boost Tumbleweed's damage, but the small green orb around him doesn't appear. This is a glitch.
• Despite his mouth being in front, his peas can be set on fire by a Torchwood that is planted on top of him.
• Glitter Zombie can kill Power Mints on Pea Vine. This is a glitch.
