Strategies
With
As an Acorn Passenger, you can make an Oak much more dangerous. He can attack zombies that the Oak is ignoring or add up extra firepower against the same target, and has a powerful heal ability in Lumber Support that can keep an Oak in the fight for much longer. Getting three Passengers on a single Oak can apply a lot of pressure on zombies.
However this doesn't make you invincible. Acorns can take damage while riding an Oak and even be vanquished before the Oak itself. Make sure to use your Lumber Support to heal yourself as well as Oak so you can keep riding and supporting it.
