Ways to Counter Steam Blaster for Every Plant
Here are some possible ways to counter Steam Blaster. Note that these won't work all of the time & this is assuming that you're going in without upgrades. Peashooter - Your low health is compensated...

When it comes to Steam Blaster Scientists, I have a character of choice for dealing with them quite effectively. I don’t get vanquished by Steam Blasters too much because of the tactics I employ. The character I use is Nightcap. When they begin to get too close to me, I use Shadow Sneak to get further away from them, or move behind them so I can surprise them and attack before they have a chance to react and counterattack, and keep moving so I do not get hit by the Steam. I avoid using Fung Fu on Steam Blaster scientists most of the time unless their health is low. Casting Shadows is used by me as an escape tool. I do jump and move frequently while I attack Steam Blasters but so do they so that is why!
Also, I find Chomper works quite a treat as well, especially if you use Grody Goop or Spikweed against them as well.
@TheSprinter85I have to agree. I don't die by Steam Blasters that much anymore. And I mean this for every character I play. If they kill me it is simply because they flanked me and I probably had 3/4 to 1/4 of health left. One of the best strats is to literally just shoot at him when you see him in your medium range to long range area. It will force him to use his Warps and healing, so he will be hindered slightly. At close range, do what Fork_x_Spoon posted. Steam Blaster is manageable to deal with.
- Yup, that's pretty much my go-to strategy; make him waste his abilities, stay away from him, & get the vanquish! The only problem is when he runs to his team, in that case you're screwed.
