Minion

Minion is a plant that deals very low damage at the cost of being free in both sun and recharge. They are otherwise incredibly weak and mostly good for stalling zombies.

Overview
Minions absorb 1 normal damage bite. They deal .10 damage per shot and fire at the rate of a Peashooter. They don't cost any sun and have an instant recharge, similar to insta-recharging a recharging plant with Plant Food.

Plant Food Effect
Becomes a giant onion and fires a random amount of onions between 1-5 in a mortar fashion, dealing 10 damage per onion.

Almanac Entry (Pome-Granite)
Toughness: Fragile

Recharge: Instant (as soon as the Minion is planted, the plant instantly recharges)

Minions are cheap offensive plants that live to protect your lawn.

Despite what everyone thinks, Minion is actually a highly advanced onion- one who isn't afraid to stand up for what he loves. And what he'd love right now is a cold cup of soda.

Strategies
Don't use this plant too often. Not only does it get eaten in 1 bite, but it also deals .10 damage, the least amount of damage of any offensive plant in PvZ2 to date. If you plan on using them, use them to stall powerful targets such as Gargantuars. Because they're free, they're great for stalling zombies.

Trivia

 * Its name is a portmanteau of 'minion' and 'onion'.
