Pine Tree

The Pine Tree is a Tier 3 Melee class plant, along with the Aloe Vera. It inflicts extra damage upon contact, and has a 'Boost' and 'Overgrow' ability like the Cactus. However, it also has a 'Charge' ability.

Technical

 * It is the third tier in the Melee class, along with Aloe Vera.
 * It upgrades from the Cactus or Sundew at 7500 XP.
 * The Pine Tree's passive ability is that it does a lot more damage than other plants upon contact.
 * The Pine Tree has three special abilities:
 * Boost by right clicking.
 * Overgrow; like the Cactus, it grows larger and will instantly regain some health.
 * Charge by pressing . It will move at a fast pace in one direction for about 5 seconds. In this time, it can only go straightforward.

Strategy

 * Strong Against: lower-tier rammers, plants with short-range attacks.
 * Weak against:Ranged class, plants with long-range attacks.

Using

 * Like all rammers, it's best to attempt to ram and kill a player when at full health.
 * Use your overgrow ability to gain some health if needed. Only use this when your health is down by half or more.
 * Easy targets are inferior ramming classes such as the Cactus or Rose; only if you have enough health.
 * High tier Ranged class plants can be a problem; when facing one, pretend to run away and then boost towards wherever pellets are coming from.
 * The same applies with plants such as the Dandelion or Blossom; the main objective is to kill them, not their drones. Try getting in between the drones and their plant.
 * When chasing another plant, don't bother charging, because it isn't manoeuvrable.
 * Only charge when fleeing if you're on low health.

Against

 * When facing a Pine Tree, be passive-aggressive.
 * If your ability allows you to control drones/pellets, erode away at its health, whilst staying a safe distance away.
 * For drones, send some in to damage the Pine Tree, whilst keeping some behind as a line of defense.
 * For pellets, stop shooting if the Pine Tree goes out of your field of view. Otherwise, it can attack you from another angle, by using the direction of your pellets as a guide.
 * When you see one increasing its speed, dodge out of its way. It is most likely charging.
 * If you are an Aloe Vera plant, use your gel to damage from a distance. Then when you've decreased the pine Tree's health, go in and ram it.
