Plants vs Zombies 2 - Penny's Pursuit - Torchwood / Pea Vine / Three-peater - July-August 2022

This Penny's quest focuses on the Core plant Torchwood / Pea Vine / Three-peater and was offered between July 20, 2022 and August 10, 2022.

Torchwood / Pea Vine / Three-peater is a member of the Enforce-Mint family.
Costs 150 Sun - (125 at level 2 and 100 at level 5)
When a zombie gets within 4 tiles, a tiger will leap out of the grass and attack the zombie.
This tiger will do 40 damage. (+10 per level)
This tiger regenerates health at 70 per second (+15 per level) every 6 seconds (5 at level 2 and 4 at level 6)
Every 25 seconds (23 at level 2 and -1 second thereafter) this tiger will grow. Each growth will do 1.75x damage and the tiger will have 1.75x health. The visual cues max out at stage 3.
If the tiger gets defeated, another one will spawn at stage growth.

Commentary:
This is a better plant than may be realized.
It has a longer reach than other melee plants like Bonk Choy or Pokra.
Torchwood / Pea Vine / Three-peater costs less than Pokra and the same as Bonk Choy
Torchwood / Pea Vine / Three-peater can handle zombies others can not - like Jester which reflects projectiles or Excavator which blocks projectiles.
Torchwood / Pea Vine / Three-peater synergizes well with Enforce-Mint - which shrinks zombies so they take double damage and deal half damage.
Two or three columns of Torchwood / Pea Vine / Three-peater can be a winning lawn setup.
Torchwood / Pea Vine / Three-peater is one of the few plants which does not mind plant food early in a level.

Bottom Line:
This is one of those tweaner plants. Not quite offensive like Pokra but not exactly defensive either like a Nut. Hiding a Torchwood / Pea Vine / Three-peater or two behind a nut is an excellent way to fend off zombies. But one must be careful as a defeated tiger provides no benefit for the player or to Dave and his lawn.
