Party Citron is the Legendary Party variant of Citron in Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2. Like other Party variants, Party Citron has a Legendary ability named Party Time! which is activated if Party Citron gains enough vanquishes. While Party Time! is activated, Citron gains a massive speed and damage boost. Like all of the other Legendary variants, it only takes two stickers to unlock Party Citron.
However, like other party variants, Party Citron's stickers cannot be found in sticker packs. Instead, the player must instead open Infinity Chests in Infinity Time to find stickers to unlock him. The Infinite Infinity Chests will guaranteed a sticker, in which the player must collect at least 25,000 shards to gain said chest.

Descriptions
Stickerbook description
Party Citron partied so hard that he ripped open the very fabric of time and was sent back to the Battle of Zomburbia. If he has any hope of getting home, he'll have to party harder than he's ever partied before.
In-game description
Vanquish foes to fill his meter and initiate Party Time, where you'll move quicker and deal extra damage!
Abilities
Party Time!
Party Time! is the Party Citron's legendary variant ability which has a meter which is filled up by Vanquishing opponents. When the meter is filled up, Party Time activates and Party Citron gets a temporary speed and damage boost until the bar depletes or until they are vanquished. If Party Citron is Vanquished before the meter is filled, the meter will reset.

Strategies
With
Party Citron, like the other Party variants, suffers greatly from losing so much precious damage output for a "Party Time!" meter, making these variants a very poor choice for multiplayer, but a decent choice in matches against AI. The increased speed and damage from "Party Time!" is much easier to achieve against AI, as they will most likely never knock you out, meaning you won't lose your "Party Time!" meter to simple mistakes. Another big bonus from its speed bonus is that he becomes incredibly fast when it uses its Hyper Ball ability, arguably becoming one of the fastest characters in the game with these requirements filled.
Against
This variant is a very low priority threat, much like other Party variants, as it is very weak for most of the round, getting a small damage bonus after it achieves its "Party Time!" for a short time. The most threatening thing about Party Citron is its very high mobility once its "Party Time!" is achieved and his Citron Ball form, allowing him to traverse a large amount of the maps length with ease and high speed. Party Citron is very rarely a threat, but it's still worth taking it down before it can activate "Party Time!".
