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...

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
Yes but still Citrons have these problems not just the Electric one, Citrons in general are not good at close range, have low damage, and do not have enough health and armor to actually be a Tank. 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.
- That's a different subject, that should be discussed in a different post focused on plants and zombies roles/weaknesses/buffs in general
Right now this one is about Electro being below all others, if the Citrons need that buff you talk about (I don't think they need it that much) then Electro needs it twice to become balanced.
Just making each normal proj 8/9 damage would already save electro and the plants he's protecting from being steamrolled
