RUX suprise us with new ability today: Red Artichoke

I'd be more happy if PopCap would mind double checking before making this Red Artichoke available from Rux. I thought this is going to be a better drone for Cactus, but NOPE! It's a rip off if you're short on coins. (Except I'm rich and earned all the coins by effort)

The damage output is very weak for a 5 health Drone and the Corn Strike drops 3 in a triangle form and each do 10 damage.
