Plants vs Zombies 2 - Penny's Pursuit - Core Plant Showcase -A.K.E.E. - April 2023

This Penny's quest focuses on the CORE plant A.K.E.E. and was offered between between April 12, 2023 and April 19, 2023.

A.K.E.E. is a member of the Arma-Mint family.
A.K.E.E. costs 175 Sun. (-25 Sun at level 5.)
A.K.E.E. launches a seed bullet which will bounce from the first zombie to the second zombie, up to four (4) times.
Each seed bullet does 60 damage (+10 per level) for the first zombie and -10 damage per subsequent bounce.

Commentary:
A.K.E.E. is one of those plants which is better than it sounds. The ability to damage four (4) zombies with one (1) projectile should not be underestimated.

Bottom Line:
As with many core plants, the seedium plants just do more damage and are more versatile.
The other problem is that Parasol zombies are immune to A.K.E.E.'s pellets and any kind of knock back will cause the pellets to miss the zombie - thereby negating not only not damaging the zombie in question but any other zombies behind it.
For instance, Blastberry Vine can damage more zombies and does not have the Parasol zombie problem.
