Strategies
Knight of the Living Dead is one of the more unique high-cost cards in the game. The card's Armored 2 trait provides near invulnerability against weaker attacks, allowing the zombie to take no damage against a Pair of Pears, or survive up to two Cherry Bombs while still able to take more punishment. On the other hand, Knight of the Living Dead's low stats for its cost make it a weak choice against heavier plants like Super-Phat Beets.

The player can use Knight of the Living Dead to block swarms of Team-up plants. Using tricks such as Camel Crossing and Monster Mash can further improve Knight of the Living Dead's survival chances.

Counters
Being a strong zombie, you may want to indirectly kill it. A Squash or a Lawnmower should be enough to kill it, due to being relatively expensive. Bouncing this zombie with a Spring Bean also may be useful.
