This was made for a contest on the PvZ2 Reflourished Discord Server, it came out pretty well i gotta say!

This plant idea was based on this annoying ass plant called Sandspurs that love getting stuck on my shoes and clothes whenever i go out walking. So thanks to that, it inspired me to do a mine with spikey projectiles like a spikeweed with some extra surprises thrown in as well. And due note this is my 1st proper custom plant, so idk if this is really that balanced.

Here's its stats:

Name: Surprising Spurs

Sun cost: 75 sun

Recharge: 10-15

Toughness: 300

Arming Time: 4-5 seconds

Damage: 600 (when stepped on), 25 (each spike that pierces up to 1 extra zombie), 25 (per Mini Spur Tick)

Spur Tick: Every 3-6 seconds and lasts for a minute unless it’s gimmick is triggered (see below)

Surprising Spurs is a fast-arming, multi-hit mine trap that, when activated by a zombie, deals some big damage and releases 4 Spurs onto 4 random zombies that deal tick damage for a minute.

His gimmick is if the zombie is moving much faster than average speed due to boosts, faster default movement, or a sudden push even, the spurs start ticking faster and dealing more damage, but they also expire faster.

Plant food: None

Almanac entry:

“The 5 Spur brothers each have a distinct name to help differentiate themselves from a mix-up. The big one is named Stanford, the small ones go as: Sal, Sonner, Sammy, & finally Bob!”
