With
While Squirrel Herder has an average stat ratio of 1/1 per 1, her ability is very useful against any or  hero, especially Spudow, who leads both. She is better against Guardian plants which specialize in nuts than Kabloom plants which specialize in berries, since there are more nuts than berries in the game.

Squirrel Herder can instantly neutralize nuts like Water Chestnut and Mirror-Nut, or potentially dangerous berries like Sergeant Strongberry or Hibernating Beary. Her ability decreases in effectiveness against a or  hero, however, since the only nut or berry plants in the Solar and Smarty classes are Mixed Nuts, Jolly Holly, Wing-Nut and Sportacus, and her ability turns basically useless against the  class, since it has neither nuts nor berries. So if you are going up against Green Shadow, Chompzilla or, it may not be the best idea to pack this card in your deck.

Like many Gravestone zombies, is a threat to this zombie. And since Grave Buster is a Guardian card, you must be extra careful against Guardian heroes. Spyris may also be played by or Nightcap in particular, meaning that they can wait another turn for them to play their respective cards, rendering her ability useless.

As, you can use In-Crypted or Mixed-Up Gravedigger to make her hide in a gravestone again and destroy another nut or berry, especially if Rolling Stone, Weed Spray, or instant kill cards are not available.

Do not forget that Squirrel Herder is also a pet zombie, so you can use her in pet decks. You could use her like Pied Piper, but with 1 extra health to help boost Cat Lady or Zookeeper.

Against
Most of the cards can counter her easily, due to her low stats. You can also play Grave Buster on her, as she has the Gravestone trait. You have to be especially careful when you are playing as Spudow or Nightcap, as most of your plants are either nuts or berries. Nightcap and Citron can also use Rescue Radish to bounce a powerful nut or berry, like Pecanolith or Sergeant Strongberry to prevent it from being destroyed.
