Overview
Pine-a-Painter is a Limited melee plant introduced in the Artist Frenzy update. Visually it's an orange pineapple wearing a beret and wielding a paintbrush, attacking at close range with quick swipes from its lower leaves and brush strikes. It occupies the role of a high single-target melee DPS unit (good vs large single brainrots and bosses) and has multiple mutation/variant skins (Gold/Diamond/Ruby etc.) that affect appearance and sometimes stat multipliers in special weather or event surges.
Key quick facts
- Introduced with the Artist Frenzy event (October 2025) and obtainable as an event reward.
- Community-stat estimates place its base DPS around ~5333 with burst DPA ~10K and a short cooldown (~1.85s), making it competitive with other limited melee plants.
How to get
- Artist Frenzy event reward — complete the Artist Frenzy tasks on Central Island (final or high-tier targets grant the Pine-a-Painter Seed).
- Event repeats / restart increases — restarting Artist Frenzy or attempting additional runs can increase reward tiers; some guides note better rewards on subsequent attempts.
- Player gifts / trades / community markets — because Pine-a-Painter is a limited event plant, players commonly trade or gift seeds; check community groups and trading channels.
Tips
- Use as a boss/elite cleanup — Pine-a-Painter's high single-target DPS makes it excellent against boss-type Brainrots or large HP targets; pair with ranged DPS plants (e.g., Tomatrio-like ranged options) to handle both adds and the boss simultaneously.
- Frontline pairing — deploy Pine-a-Painter with a short-duration shield or tank plant in front (Pumpkin / Cocotank) to let it reach and stick to priority targets without interruption.
- Leverage mutations & weather — if Prismatic/Gilded/Volcano weather is active (or other mutation-affecting events), mutated Pine-a-Painter variants can produce substantial damage or bonus multipliers—plan runs during favorable surge windows.
- Event farming strategy — prioritize completing high-value Artist Frenzy tasks that list Pine-a-Painter among their top rewards; if stamina/currency is limited, target the mission chains that scale rewards on repeated attempts.
- Resource management — since growth time is community-listed (~25 minutes for seed growth in some implementations), batch plantings during downtimes to maximize uptime during peak play sessions.

A: Pine-a-Painter is a Limited plant introduced via the Artist Frenzy event; it's primarily obtainable as an event reward (Artist Frenzy) and through player gifts/trades.
Q: What are Pine-a-Painter's stats — how strong is it?
A: Community sources estimate ~5333 DPS, with burst DPA ~10K and a cooldown around 1.85s; these figures are from early community testing and can vary by mutation, weather multipliers, and future balance patches. Treat these as practical estimates rather than absolute developer numbers.
Q: Can I get Pine-a-Painter outside Artist Frenzy?
