Plants vs Zombies 2 - Penny's Pursuit - Core Plant Showcase - Laser Bean - Aug 2023

Laser Bean seeds were offered from August 16, 2023 through August 23, 2023

Laser Bean is a member of the SPEAR-MINT family.
Laser Bean costs 200 Sun. (-25 Sun at levels 3, 7, 11 and 15.)
Laser Bean does 40 damage to all zombies in the lane. (+10 damage per level.)
When given plant food, Laser Bean does 1,800 damage to all zombies in the lane. (+100 damage per level.)

Commentary:
This is a meat-and-potatoes type of plant. It's not very sexy, yet the ability to hit all zombies and objects is not something to easily dismiss. On these endless levels, plants which damage ALL zombies become more important. Laser Bean is one of them.

Bottom Line:
Laser Bean is a little too expensive and a little under-powered for the cost. That said, Laser Bean is not a bad plant. Just a solid plant. If you enjoy the endless levels, this is one plant which could do well with a few more levels.
