Electric Peel's peel travels four (4) tiles before returning.

Commentary:
This plant is a merge between Bloomerang's projectile return ability and SeaFlora's ability to be planted on water or land.

Bottom Line:
With a range of four (4) tiles, one is not quite sure what to do with Electric Peel. It's range is too short to be placed on the back line. It's more of a “long range melee” plant. We know, it sounds strange to say it. It wants to be placed behind melee plants like Bonk Choy and Snapdragon. But doing so limits the effectiveness of Electric Peel.

We just find that there are simply better options. Lowly Peashooter can be effective with a cheaper cost and longer range. While Electric Peel does more damage while on a water tile, even water levels have Low Tide which would weaken this plant.

We like having options. The problem is this plant simply isn't doesn't specialize in anything which would make one want to seriously consider playing it.
