With
Fireworks Zombie can clear weak plants off the board, and also has decent stats. As its description says, this is a good method of clearing out mushrooms, such as Shroom for Two, Poison Mushroom, or Mushroom Ringleader. However, his ability targets fellow zombies on the field, slightly weakening them and reducing their chances of survival. He has synergy with zombies that require themselves to be hurt in order for their ability to trigger. When using this with mushrooms, beware of Punish-Shroom, since it will heavily damage your defenses.

To avoid accidentally damaging your zombies, place the Fireworks Zombie first, followed by the zombie fighters you want to place afterward. If a zombie's ability triggers after being hurt though, this can be used if the lane is open. Most zombies can go well with this zombie such as:
 * which gets +4 Strength.
 * Jester which will do 2 damage to the Plant Hero.


 * Barrel of Deadbeards can be destroyed, which can do a total of 2 damage to all plants and zombies and makes a Captain Deadbeard right away.
 * Imp-Throwing Gargantuar can be hurt which makes a Swabbie in a random lane.
 * which will boost him and destroy all non-armor and non-shielded plants.
 * Gargantuar-Throwing Imp can be hurt which makes a Smashing Gargantuar in a random lane.
 * Hover-Goat 3000 which can be bounced, reusing the buff ability.
 * Gas Giant which will do 2 damage to all plants and zombies; as well as lowering his health for a chance to do 5 damage to the Plant Hero.

You can also use this card to clear out weak zombies, notably Turkey Rider, and then replace them with stronger ones. If possible, try to do this while a Valkyrie is in your hand to get even more benefit. Be careful - do it at the wrong time and you will lose nearly all your defenses. Otherwise, this fighter is good at taking out s or other plants that have 1 health.

Mixed-Up Gravedigger can also benefit this by allowing him to replay his ability when he is revealed from his gravestone. Mixed-Up Gravedigger will also restore the health of zombies damaged by Fireworks Zombie's ability so you can minimize the damage to your zombies. However, only Impfinity can do this.

You can play him in Laser Base Alpha if the field is full of tough plants, as he will destroy all of them with the Deadly trait. However, doing so will destroy all of your zombies as well, so consider it again before using this combo. Graveyard can also surprise the Plant Hero as he will immediately destroy all 1 plants that were played this turn, especially Shroom for two and Puff-shrooms.

You want to avoid using this zombie if there is a Mirror-Nut along with other nuts as it can do a lot of damage to the Zombie Hero for each Nut there is on the board.

Against
This zombie is a nuisance, especially if he weakens or destroys your tough plants. Due to his strength, can instantly destroy him, but only if you are playing as a  plant hero. If there are no stat-reducing tricks you can use on the turn he is played, you can simply resort to playing a plant in his lane in order to stall him. You can also plau Mirror-Nut along with other Nuts to make the Zombie Hero think twice into using the zombie.

Trivia

 * His description makes a pun on the word "fireworks".
 * The first meaning is that fire works on destroying mushrooms. The other meaning is the word "fireworks" itself.
 * Fire Works is also a name of an achievement in the now defunct Plants vs. Zombies Adventures.
 * It also refers to how many mushroom plants in this game have 1.
 * During his idle animation, the pupil of his left eye sometimes goes slightly outside of the eye.
 * This, Regifting Zombie and Trickster are the only party zombies that are not in two tribes.
 * When played on Laser Base Alpha, Fireworks Zombie will do damage to all non-Armored fighters, destroying them as well as himself due to the Deadly trait. Strangely, fighters at the right of Fireworks Zombie will not be destroyed.
 * A possible reason is that damaged fighters are destroyed from left to right until Fireworks Zombie himself is destroyed.
