This zombie is very powerful, with 6{{PvZH Icon|strength}}/5{{PvZH Icon|health}}, and can be played in the Zombie Tricks phase normally via Hail-a-Copter. That way, you can choose which lane you want to play it in without worrying about what your opponent can do for that turn. Althoughif you have this card in your hand, this is treated as a zombie with no abilities but with above stats foritscost.

Being in the science tribe, Copter Commando can also benefit from [[Zombot Drone Engineer]] and [[Gadget Scientist]], as well as activate [[Interdimensional Zombie]]'s ability, making it even more effective. It can also benefit from [[Toxic Waste Imp]] and [[Imp Commander]] as it is also a part of the Imp tribe, but these combos are only normally possible with {{PvZHLink|Super Brainz}} or [[Huge-Gigantacus]].

This zombie is really powerful due to being normally played in the Zombie Tricks phase, and you have to be careful when your opponent saves more than 5{{PvZH Icon|brain}} in the Zombies Play phase. Cards like {{PvZHLink|Squash}} and [[Sizzle]] can destroy it easily. You can also '''Bounce''' this zombie, so whenever your opponent wants to play this card again, they will be forced to play it in the Zombies Play phase, where he is more susceptible. If you can predict Hail-a-Copter being played, use [[Brainana]], [[Dark Matter Dragonfruit]], or even [[Forget-Me-Nuts]] to prevent it from being played. You can also use [[Shamrocket]] to destroy this zombie instantly. If you choose to use damaging plants alone, destroy any Toxic Waste Imps before you try.
