Class Discussion: Citron
We arrive at Citrons as I rotate from zombie to plant in our class discussion journey. Citron has changed a LOT in BfN, so the layout will be a little different from the others. Citrons were extreme...

@stukapooka I really don't like the BfN Shield at all. It's far too good and comes back so quickly. One Citron can be a pain, but multiples working together are an absolute abomination, and if you add in even a single Sunflower, it's even worse. We both brought that up, but it needs to be said again and again. It can't stay that way in a new game. Reduce it's health and make it require a longer regen time at the very least.
Ballers are so weird. I had one the other day on MoonBase Z that kept charging our spawn point on the mini game at the end and would rob me of the vanquish by pushing into the spawn room and timing out. That was annoying as one could imagine.
Electro is ok, but not great. I'd agree he's not the best but not awful, and could use a buff. Still my least favorite though, Toxic is my personal favorite.
My first mastered in GW2 was Vampire Flower.
Mood Shield needs a duration buff, even just a small one, and it'd be fine.
Frozen Citron, like most ice characters are indeed going to be annoying, but at least the others can be shot, unlike when they had full max range damage and lots of cover to exploit, since their hit box does not extend to the weapon.
The dash in BfN is just too good. It comes back very fast and does too much damage. It was still useful without being OP in GW2 and it needs to return to that level.
You almost never see Navel Laser in PvP anymore. It used to be everywhere, but normally when a Citron uses it in PvP, that Citron is vanquished a couple seconds later, barring having a Sunflower attached to them anyway.
@Iron_Guard8 Yep it's far too powerful and misses the point of Reinhardt's shield, revert back to the gw2 peel shield and throw in more alts.
When the baller tries to block you but you're playing Superbrainz.
Iron and toxic are my favorite citrons.
Mood shield could definetly be just a little better.
Ice variants are the reason yeti is the hardest boss hunt imo. I dont hate them but they can definetly be annoying especially when you don't have a healer to remove the effect. Definetly glad the sniper citron no longer exists.
The dash being instant imp killing damage is just stupid and I seriosuly wonder who thought it was a good idea. In gw2 you saw a citron was in ball form and you had to assume it was always a threat to you unless you saw them use it.
Naval laser use to be stupidly good then it fell off, aimbot citron ai still use it pretty effectively though.

Yeti Boss hunt took us the longest to beat on hard/craaazzy. Only Spooky Squash was all that close to get done for our duo. Sasquatch wasn't that easy but very doable when you know what to do. Brothers Gnomus was pretty easy. And yeah, all that ice damage from not only the Yeti but all the arctic troopers, yeti imps exploding, and so on, made it super hard. Of course, him wandering all over the place when you had the buff to take him down made it worse. It's the most difficult elite boss in BfN Ops too, and was the last one I defeated in the game, before they added more (I think just the elite Hypno-Flower Queen was added after the original ones).
- @Iron_Guard8 Yeti was just everything annoying in game rolled into one boss hunt.
Sasquatch isnt terrible once you know about the gardens as your teamates usually come to your position when they see you're not moving.
Squash isn't really that bad if your team at least knows to do the tombstones as the candy can be excruciatingly micro managed by one player.
Brothers gnomus hardest factor are the tankier gnome minions the actual boss and puzzle is a pushover and I've beaten it on crazy many times.
Hovergoat and Torchwood's addition to the roster also added much needed firepower for both teams and people playing them 99% of the time know what they're doing.
Really miss these hunts in gw2 and I hope we get them again someday as the elite bosses in bfn just didn't scratch that difficulty itch outside of yeti who's just bs.
