Card description

With
This can potentially be one of the most potent Bullseye plants in the entire game. It has good stats, especially when combined with its ability, and can stack with any benefits the environments it is played on provide. For example, Spikeweed Sector can add 2 damage on top of the damage it normally does, or clear a path to attack the zombie hero, which makes good use of its Bullseye trait. Pair Pearadise can make another Plantern on that same lane, allowing for more damage overall. When you consider all of the environments in the game, there are many options for boosting Plantern, making it more potent.

Against
This card can be very dangerous, with its ability combined with environments. The easiest way to destroy this is to use Rocket Science or a similar card to destroy it. Playing your own environments will not help, as it will still affect Plantern's ability. You can also use powerful zombies to destroy it, but tricks are still the best way to deal with it. It has Bullseye, meaning your Super-Block Meter will not fill at all when it attacks you. You can use cards like Terrify, Sumo Wrestler, and Rodeo Gargantuar to move it away from environments, getting rid of its stat boosts.

Trivia
