Repea-Nut

The Repea-Nut is a defensive peashooting premium plant that appears in Plants vs. Zombies 2. Similarly to its Wall-Nut/Peashooter cousin the Pea-Nut, it is a combination of Repeater and Tall-Nut; Repea-Nut shoots two peas at zombies and delays them with its shell which absorbs 160 bites. It does not shoot four peas together: it instead shoots two peas every 0.75 seconds, alternating heads each time. Pea-nut is an offensive and defensive premium plant that appears in Plants vs. Zombies 2. It is a combination of Peashooter and Wall-nut; Pea-nuts shoot peas at zombies and delay them with its bite-absorbing shell. It does not shoot two peas together. Instead, each head takes turns shooting peas.

Repea-nuts can shoot peas and block low-flying zombies.

Repea-Nut is a toughie. She doesn't back down from anything but deep inside she's a softie like Pea-Nut. She aspires to be like Repeater - an army leader.

Overview
Repea-nut absorbs 160 bites and its appearance changes upon at 32, 64, 96 and 128 bites before being eaten at 160 bites. Repea-nut fires slower when it reaches its third degrade. This is because both heads take turns to fire peas, so when the top head is bitten off, it shoots peas twice as slow.

Plant Food
When given Plant Food, it acts similar to Repeater and Tall-nut as it shoots 90 peas then half a large pea from both of its heads (making a whole large pea) like Repeater, restores its health, and gets covered in metal armor which gives it 160 more health points.

Strategies
The Repea-Nut can both attack and defend. Except for its mediocre recharge, it is a useful plant when you want to combine offense and defense into one plant. But pay attention to it because the Repea-Nut will shoot slower when it reaches its third degrade. So if you are going to use Pea-nut as your only offensive plant, do not forget to protect them when they are weak.

Repea-Nuts are great against Snorkel Zombies thanks to its great resistance, as Snorkel Zombies will be forced to eat the Repea-Nut while they are receiving its peas. Repea-Nuts are also useful against Zombie Chickens and Ice Weasels, as they stop the Zombie Chickens and defeat them, and if paired with Lightning Reed against the Ice Weasels, Repea-Nuts would make them easier to defeat.

Repea-Nuts are also great against low-flying zombies like the Disco Jetpack zombie because it blocks them and will force them to eat it while receiving four peas by the one-and-a-half second.

A great strategy is planting Bonk Choys behind them and Spikerocks in front of them because the zombies will receive a lot of damage while trying to take down the Repea-Nuts.

Repea-Nuts in Endless Zone levels infested with Gargantuars can make a great use to stall Imps. Use Repea-Nut's attack and defense capabilities, but set it up in the latter parts of the level's wave, as it may trigger an immediate provoke against Gargantuars and Sandstorms (in Pyramid of Doom) if placed immediately while establishing your sun production. However, Repea-Nuts can only attack one Imp at a time but its mediocre recharge gives you an edge over the odds of Repea-Nuts being eaten alive.
