While this environment is a downgrade to [[Spikeweed Sector]] in some aspects, it can be more beneficial than it if used correctly. |

This environment can be beneficial if used correctly. As it does damage to both plants and zombies, don't play plants that have 1{{PvZH Icon|health}} on the same lane this environment is on, as they will be destroyed before combat. |

Some plants can benefit from this environment, for example [[Hibernating Beary]] will get +4{{PvZH Icon|strength}} before combat on this environment, which will be very helpful to destroy most zombies or deal serious damage on the zombie hero.

Plants which feature abilities that activate when they take damage or get destroyed can be taken advantage of. For example, [[Hibernating Beary]] will get +4{{PvZH Icon|strength}} before combat on this environment, which will be very helpful at destroying most zombies or doing serious damage to the zombie hero. Similarly, [[Prickly Pear]] and Mirror-Nut will also activate their abilities before combat. {{PvZH Link|Potato Mine}}, {{PvZHLink|Primal Potato Mine}}, or {{PvZHLink|Hot Date}} can be used to take out zombies with 3{{PvZH Icon|health}} or less, clearing way for a direct attack, assuming there is a plant behind them. |

A good example is Newspaper Zombie, as he will gain +4{{PvZH Icon|strength}} before combat, which will let him destroy stronger plants, or deal heavy damage to the plant hero. Jester is another good option, as this will activate his ability every turn before combat. [[Barrel of Deadbeards]] and [[Gas Giant]] can also be used to activate their damaging abilities. |
