-His primary fire does pretty much zero damage. The SCIENTIST can practically out damage him.-You can't do anything while the shield is up. You should be able to shoot your E.M.Peach while your shield is up.-His E.M.Peach takes a while to fire, and the stun doesn't even last all that long. You can't capitalize on it very well anyway, as you're probably busy shielding yourself from getting annihilated by the people you didn't stun who are shooting at your massive hit box.-His Spin Dash is fine, to be honest. Other than the massive hit detection problem on half of the abilities in this game, it's fine. Maybe lower the cool down.-The Navel Laser would be great if the hit detection wasn't a dumpster fire.Edit: After looking at the comments and playing Citron a bit more, he's not as bad as I thought. He's alright, actually. His primary fire isn't that bad. Just to clarify: I DON'T think he should be able to normally shoot with his shield up. I just think he should be able to use his E.M.Peach while the shield is up. After some more experimentation, I've found the Navel Laser to be not really that great. Even if the hit detection was fixed, it's hit box is so incredibly tiny that you can hardly use it to it's full potential once it's fully charged. Thank you for all of the suggestions, comments, and advice! ❤️

@FriendlyShep you're probably busy shielding yourself from getting annihilated by the people you didn't stun who are shooting at your massive hit box.LMAO! Yeah he's hot garbage. Poor guy

As a player who uses Citron a lot and is past Master, here are my views on it:It's annoying that you can't shoot or use abilities while shielding, but I suppose the point of it is to provide cover as your teammates fight the enemies.The Navel Laser is annoying, as you can't cancel or zoom with it.The stun takes too long to use and doesn't last long.The Spin Dash is fine (almost overpowered). He doesn't do a huge amount of damage, and is easy to hit.Citron is a good character, but I'm hoping they will give him a little bit more buffs that he can work with.

@TheSprinter85 Shooting while shielding would make him instantly the best player in the game lolNaval laser sucks and is the most useless ability in there game given how many * it comes with.I agree with the stun, the damage and his giant hitbox

@FriendlyShep Citron is one of my top plants. It’s all about Dash and timing his stuns.

But Ive never seen Citron as Vanquish Master either.Of course it can be said that isn't his role but I've seen other defensive and support characters on the podium plenty of times. I would expect a citron now and again. Feels like he could do with 10% damage output increase or something to help him compete more with his primary.

Is it just me or is Citron hot garbage?

@34975634954957 It’s a fine dance that Citron likes to dance.... he’s more hit and run than I like to play but his stun makes him a beast in itself. I’ll see whether I have any videos for y’all later this weekend/when I slow down.

@FriendlyShep He just needs a tiny bit more damage on his primary. This guy struggles to win fights at point blank range with 200 hp. The juice cannon should have some power at that range

@FriendlyShep Ah, yes, the character that does 10 dmg in close range without crit, have insane mobility, insane shield, stun and is a Tank. He is really garbage man, deserves a buff in his damage just to put him on Top Tier once again lol.
