Card description

Update 1.14.13

 * Added to the game.

With
On its own, it is a 4/4 plant, which is above average stats for a 3 card. However, its ability causes it to lose strength whenever it takes damage, so always keep an eye on its health. On the other hand, this also means that the more health Health-Nut has, the more damage output it gives. It is advisable to play cards that boost health such as Smackadamia, Steel Magnolia, and Bubble Up (only available to Wall-Knight and Spudow), which not only increases its health but also its damage output.

If you don't have any of these, you will have to play cards that boost both stats, such as Fertilize, even though the strength boost would be practically meaningless apart from making it immune to Rolling Stone or Weed Spray. If Health-Nut is damaged, play healing cards like 2nd-Best Taco of All Time to restore its health so it can do a more powerful attack. You can also protect it from further damage by shielding it with tricks like Root Wall (only available to and Grass Knuckles), play a Team-Up plant like  in front of it, or move it out of harm's way with Gardening Gloves.

Since this is also a nut, you can play Mirror-Nut to prevent your opponent from hastily hurting it, or Smackadamia for the health-boosting synergy mentioned above.

However, you must be really careful against heroes, as Health-Nut technically has 0 strength, making it vulnerable to the aforementioned instant-kill tricks.

Against
You must be really careful against this as the more health it has, the more damage output it gives when it attacks. Fortunately, this also means that it is easier to deal with if it is at low health.

As any hero, you can play Rolling Stone or Weed Spray to destroy Health-Nut instantly, as long as it has 2 or less. If you are playing as a hero, Squirrel Herder can destroy the Health-Nut instantly since it's a nut plant. In case Squirrel Herder is unavailable, resort to using Locust Swarm instead. If Health-Nut is damaged, you can try a sneaky way by using Evaporate on it, though only Electric Boogaloo and Immorticia can use this. heroes can also use stat-lowering tricks such as Nibble on Health-Nut to lower its health and make its strength weaker.

As for other heroes, you can aim to damage it as much as possible using damaging tricks such as Bungee Plumber or by having a zombie on the same lane as Health-Nut do a bonus attack, which not only damages it, but also reduces its damage output.
