With
Stupid Cupid is a great card as he has high strength and a potential game-changing ability. His ability will completely prevent a plant from attacking for the turn that he is played. When you play him, here are a couple things to keep in mind - don't target plants with no strength at all, like Wall-Nut and Water Chestnut, and don't target plants that would be destroyed by the initial damage of the ability, unless that plant is a powerful glass cannon like Mushroom Ringleader or or if taking control of the board is necessary. If you do either of these things, you will waste the most effective capability of this zombie.

If you are using Z-Mech, you can combo into Rolling Stone to destroy any plant you want, and Impfinity can use Imp Commander and Toxic Waste Imp to generate great synergy as it is an Imp. Impfinity can also bounce this with Firefighter to re-activate his ability.

HThe only problem with Stupid Cupid is that he has low health. If you are playing as Z-Mech, you can use Rock Wall or Camel Crossing to make this zombie survive longer. Electric Boogaloo can buff this zombie with Vitamin Z and Maniacal Laugh. Professor Brainstorm can also prevent it from being damaged by using Teleport, which can also prevent newly placed plants from attacking.

One thing to be careful is against heroes: when you reduce a plant's strength to zero, be careful if Spineapple is played has it will allow the targeted plant to gain +2 strength which can add in more strength that was lost at the next turn.

As Impfinity, you can really wreak havoc, as Stupid Cupid is also an Imp. If played while Toxic Waste Imp is on the field, then the plant that is damaged by Stupid Cupid's ability will also be destroyed, which helps against huge threats. Impfinity can also make Stupid Cupid reactivate his ability via Firefighter, In Crypted, or Mixed Up Gravedigger.

Against
Stat-wise, Stupid Cupid is fairly easy to destroy, but his ability is very dangerous. It will completely disable a plant from attacking for the turn he is played, and if your opponent is Z-Mech, they might use Rolling Stone to destroy that plant instantly. A good counter is to use plants that can damage zombies through the use of abilities, like Punish-Shroom or Briar Rose. Stupid Cupid cannot disable the abilities of plants, so use such plants to apply pressure on the zombie hero.

In addition, if you are playing as a Guardian hero, Spineapple can give a disabled plant +2 strength. If it manages to stay alive, that plant can get 2 more strength than it was previously had before being disabled.

Trivia

 * Stupid Cupid is a reference to the Roman God Cupid, most notably the god of love, desire, attraction or affection.
