Electric Tiles

Chemicals are an environment modifier in Plants vs. Zombies: The Cure. They have varying effect, depending on what plants are on them. They are spawned from broken Electriferns, Pecans, or Tomotors, and can also appear on the floor naturally.

Effect
The effect of an Electric Tile depends on what plant is on it, and if it is powered. Powered Electric Tiles can come from being next to Battaros, or being next to a sun-powered Basolar Panel's charged tiles. Most plants will get a damage and/or health boost. Some will shoot faster, or produce sun faster. Others will have special effects, usually contact damage or arcing damage. However, Tomotor needs to have a powered tile to activate, and Battaros and Basolar Panels will explode.

Strategy
As Electric Tiles can provide useful and tide-turning effects, you should dedicate a section of a Greenhouse-- or even a whole Greenhouse-- to growing Electric Tile-related plants. Don't place Battaros and/or Basolar Panels on Electric Tiles, as it is a waste of the plant. Tomotor's Genetic Adaption boost can allow for more efficient transmission of electricity. Electric Current will also power the tile it is on, so if you are out of Batttaros and Basolar Panels, you can use them.

Trivia

 * If no electric tiles are powered or placed in the game, you will get the Hiding Tesla achievement.
 * If a Battaro or a Basolar Panel explodes, you will get the Short Circuit achievement.
