Electro citron needs buff
Please buff the electro citron. It does 3 damage. 3 DAMAGE for every shot!! 22 shots times 3 it's 66 damage. Assuming you don't miss. Not even enough to kill a scientists. I know you can charge it but...

Was post about this and now I see im not the only one noticing it.
Electro Citron is my fav citron but I always struggle during the garden ops or online matches.
Each projectile is so small and feels so insignificant, 22 amno for small, cactus needles like projectiles with little damage and small splash damage.
The "but its an electric variant, it arcs across zombies" doesnt help much because its already dificult to hit one, and when one gets hit the damage is still ridiculous.
And it has a charged option, yes, but the size of the charged projectile is still so small one can easily miss and waste half the amno.
The size of the explosion of the charged version is also barely different from the non charged version, it still has a small splash ratius.
Electro brainz has a pretty powerful beam that has electric acs too, electric peashooter does less damage but the electric splash size is giant + has electric arcs
Electro citron just gets a future cactus-like projectiles with little splash damage, 3/5 damage per shot, and with just 22 ammo you HAVE to charge to level 3 or else you're wasting ammo and time.
There has to be a way to make him better.
Instead of cactus projectiles why not a whole laser like super brainz and all other citron variants? or if you want to keep the cactus projectiles but make them bigger so you cant miss that easily and with bigger splash specially for charged version, like smaller versions of electric peas.
Rigth now its just one bigger future cactus, with more health and weak projectiles
Increase his dmg to 5 per hit on primary target. Decrease his health to 125.
People keep wanting a hard hitting Citron, give it to them, but give him the health of the hard hitting toons. He shouldn't have more health than every other character in the game, and then hit as hard as them also, one or the other has to give.
I think he is a multi-kill machine. That being said an increase to ammo would be very nice. A larger projectile may Also be helpful. For all of those saying he is UP, you got to change your play-style. He is nothing like the other citrons. If he gets a charge speed buff he could easily ruin the game if he could shoot his max level shots quickly.

5 per projectile is common in laser weapons/full auto weapons with plenty of ammo and a quick fire rate, this one is none of those. as i said before either make it easier to hit+ some extra damage or keep it difficult+ high damage , hih risk high reward.
Electro Brainz, hard hitting toon, does what Electro Citron was supposed to do, an electric beam, yet he still has 200 health (tank health), keeps that powerful beam, the close range combo and its even getting another buff in this patch.
Citron is supossed to be a tank with a long range laser, yet the true tank with long range electric attacks atm is electro brainz.
If citron is a tank keep it a tank and dont give him a 125 health as a peashooter, im just asking to make him a bit stronger since rigth now he cant even defend himself, let alone "support" others like they designed him to.
LBPlombax7, your problem then is that you need to be arguing for a nerf to Electro Brainz beam (I main him, and don't use it because everything out snipes even Electro Brainz).
One should NEVER argue why one class should be buffed to counter what many would agree is an over powered ability of another class, it's better to argue for a fix to that perceived OP ability.
Many, many people keep complaining about how Citron, almost all variants, need a dmg buff. The problem is, they don't take into account that Citron is the strongest tank in the game. Does he do massive damage? Nope. Should he? Nope.
I've seen plenty of Citron's that are just nasty, that cause entire teams who would otherwise be dominating, to have to completely adjust to just that single Citron, play differently, and still lose. I don't imagine those Citron players think he needs a buff. On the other hand, I've also seen plenty of Citron's who are non-factors, who try and play him as strictly dmg dealers, who try and play him as one man solo wrecking crews, who end up dying way more often than they kill, and I have a feeling, those are the people who feel he needs a buff.
Im not specifically aiming at countering an op character, but being the only electric variant with a beam as weapon i used it for comparison.
Electro citron shoots single projectiles tho, so I also suggested a buff based on electro pea too.
I dont think other citrons need a buff,I can perfectly play with normal citron and support other players either in garden ops or in other modes.
I dont aim to go at full power trying to destroy everything solo, as a tank I try to keep others alive, use the shield and stuns to stop big groups and z mechs, all in this character is about tanking, using him for dmg dealer only is just wrong.
Im perfectly fine with the other citron variants, im not asking for a buff for the other variants, im talking about this specific one.
In comparisson with other citrons i find this one quite difficult to play as, even against garden ops mobs any other citron can do the job but this one feels underpowered, thats all, specially in garden ops in a small 4 players group, when players are low on health and depending on the tank+ healer player/potted plant and the low ammo/ difficult to hit/weak weapon just makes the task even more difficult
- I agree with this. Lower his health a little bit and give him some more damage. Pointless of calling him a tank since he can't do damage worth anything depending on the variant.
