With
Hot Date is similar to, but trades lower overall health for damaging a zombie that is in its lane when destroyed. This is useful for weak, but dangerous zombies like Stealthy Imp, Zookeeper, and. Hot Date works great against Fire Rooster, because when you move the Fire Rooster, it will damage and destroy Hot Date, causing Hot Date to destroy it in return. Keep in mind that this plant does not have the Team-Up trait, so it cannot be used to protect plants.

Against
Hot Date may be fragile, but it can mess up your strategies and easily take out any zombie with 3 health or less. The best way to handle it is to destroy it with high health zombies. Armored and Shielded zombies excel at this, as their traits reduce the damage they take. Any zombie with high health will do, however. You can use Rolling Stone to destroy it, but keep in mind that it may destroy any zombie you have there. If you are using a Sneaky zombie hero, you can use Smoke Bomb to move the zombie, and then use any trick you like to destroy it. Hot Date is harmless if there is nothing in its lane, unless your opponent uses Spineapple or boosting tricks. You can also Bounce it to remove Hot Date out of the board, preventing the ability for a turn.
