With
Fire Rooster can be a tough zombie to take out due to its ability. It also has the ability to damage plants when entering a lane, letting it essentially do 4 damage to a plant. Its ability allows it to take out a fragile plant hiding behind a Team-Up plant. If your opponent tries to manipulate Fire Rooster to attack a plant that is enough to destroy it, use a moving trick like Smoke Bomb to move it and do damage again. To make it even more dangerous, playing Super Stench or having a on board allows it to destroy any non-Armored or non-protected plants when it moves to another lane with plants on them.

Neptuna and have the best usages out of Fire Rooster, as Neptuna can play health boosting and moving tricks to aid Fire Rooster, while Brain Freeze can use it in a pet deck to make it even more dangerous.

Against
The best method for dealing with a Fire Rooster is by using tricks that will take it out immediately. In addition, filling the field with plants so the Fire Rooster will die is also an option, but expect a plant to die in the process. Look out for tricks as well, as the zombie hero can easily move Fire Rooster to become more dangerous. From turn 4 onwards, Sour Grapes will be an immediate counter. If you are playing as a hero, be careful of playing plants with 1 health, especially Shroom for Two as if the player uses Smoke Bomb on a Fire Rooster or plays a Fire Rooster on a lane with 1 health plants. You can also force Fire Rooster to go to a ground lane and then use Scorched Earth or play Water Balloons.
