About

For more information about this character, see Repeater.

Repeater is obtained after beating Ancient Egypt - Day 19. He remains unchanged from his incarnation in the first game, having the same recharge speed and having the cost of 200 sun. In Beghouled, the Repeater is the upgrade of Peashooter. He costs 200 sun and can be further upgraded into stronger plants.

In the Chinese version, he could be purchased with 100,000 coins.

Upgrades

Plant Food effect

Plant Food ability (animated)

When fed Plant Food, Repeater will temporarily turn into a Gatling Pea, like Peashooter, but with a blue spiked corporal helmet. Repeater will then shoot 90 (60 in the Chinese version) peas, and then after turning red for a second, it fires a giant pea that deals 600 (400 in the Chinese version) damage.

Appease-mint effect

When boosted by Appease-mint, Repeater's peas deal an additional 120 damage.

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, as the fire and napalm peas can easily cancel out the slowing effects of the ice peas.
