With
Garlic has the ability to divert zombies into a lane where they can easily be destroyed. You should not play it on the leftmost lane as it will nullify its ability. Try to boost Garlic's health so it can divert more zombies, and keep in mind that it has Team-Up along it does have 1 strength to attack weak zombies.

This card is fantastic at getting rid of Vimpires, as it will destroy them whenever they attacks Garlic. This is especially useful on Missions where you can ensure if the Zombie Hero plays Vimpire, therefore ensuring to use this card if needed to destroy Vimpires easily.

A good idea to use this are using are plants with Splash Damage such as, and tricks like to divert zombies closer where they can be destroyed more easily.

Against
Never use Vimpire to get rid of Garlic as this will destroy him as soon as he attacks Garlic. Although if you need Frenzy Zombies to attack through Garlic, you can bring Smashing Gargantuar or Coffee Zombie. Interestingly, when using this strategy, the zombie with frenzy that destroys the Garlic will move to the left and then it does a Bonus Attack at that left lane. This can be useful if there are weak plants to the left of Garlic.

If you use a zombie to destroy it, be sure to remember that it will end up in the lane to the left after it attacks. A great way to combat it is to use cards like Terrify and Sumo Wrestler to move it to the leftmost lane. This will nullify its ability, which makes it easier to destroy. If that is not an option, resort to using tricks on this instead.

You can also use Rolling Stone or Weed Spray to destroy this with ease as long its strength isn't boosted.
