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...

Honestly Citron in general needs a buff he is not a tank if anything he gets vanquished faster do to his gigantic hitbox, his damage is very underwhelming too.
As I said before myself can do fine with the other Citrons, he's meant to be a support tank so the damage can't be ultra high
But this one is just not able to support correctly, heavily depends on others to do the damage, he can't deal with groups properly like Electric are supposed to.
All the electrics are balanced because they used a simple formula (Take normal proj of that class, reduce damage and add electric arcs, that's it)
Instead of doing that to Citron they messed up and mixed everything in an unbalanced new weapon.
I'm not asking for "make him the strongest citron ever, able to go against everything and everyone 1vs1" I'm asking for a citron that does electric damage able to defend himself !
Citron class is supposed to be in the front lines next to other players using shields to protect them, stuns to avoid incoming threats and a laser to keep them under pressure, staying away charging shots and being as vulnerable close range as a cactus isn't appropriate
If you can't make lv1 proj bigger or with increased AoE stats ,keeping it difficult to use, at the very least give him more health+ammo to survive more time while charging the level 2/3 proj he depends so much on

As the Imp Mech has taught us if you are focused on you will be vanquished very quickly and Citron has the same problem as the Mechs do.
- But the usual citron laser can keep close range threats under pressure and EMPeach can stun them for a chance to get some distance and keep damaging them with laser
Plus since he's meant to be supporting other characters, others can help dealing with close range problems while the laser keeps doing decent damage.
With this one it just feels like wasting the entire ammo in normal shots won't help, while you're there absorbing damage for the team having to charge up to level 2 for normal damage and level 3 for significative one to 1 single target (since the electric arcs don't change at all in a charhed level 3) doesn't help much.
To use electric arcs correctly you need multiple shots, and the current normal ones can't do the job

The Plants have so many more weaknesses compared to the Zombies and the gap is getting bigger and most of the Zombies are not limited to their "roles" unlike the Plants who are dictated by them. The Scientist is a Support yet he has one of the highest damage outputs in the game so the Support argument is invalid.
GhostKing1337, you're off your rocker. The problem with you isn't Citron, it's YOU. You need to play a class that fits your play-style, and because Citron isn't a vanquish machine, you want to buff him to make him one. He is a TANK/SUPPORT. You saying you don't care about him being a tank, you just want to kill people quickly, means you're clueless about what he was built for, and that you need to start playing something that better fits your play-style and stop trying to buff a class to do more damage when they are good as is.
Basically, it's like if you started playing the Cactus, and are now here lobbying for a hp increase because he just doesn't have enough hps to tank.....

I want him to be more of a vanquish machine because most of the Zombies are designed to get vanquishes while some of the Plants are not. Also I do not want characters to be dictated by their role like the Cactus and Sunflower are. Oh and BTW I main Zombies I am trying to help the Plants out here I want them to be more of a threat.
