Pied Piper's ability to weaken, and possibly destroy a plant is what makes him handy. It is best to place him on a lane with a plant that has 1{{PvZH Icon|health}}, or 3{{PvZH Icon|health}} at most for Pied Piper to destroy it. Also, since the ability decreases stats and affects all plants in that lane, it can basically bypass [[Card#Team-Up|'''Team-Up''']] plants to destroy a frail plant behind, or {{PvZH Icon|armored}}[[Card#Armored|'''Armored''']] plants since the trait does not prevent stat reduction. If there is a dangerous plant with 1{{PvZH Icon|health}}, such as {{PvZHLink|Snapdragon}}, {{PvZHLink|Magnifying Grass}}, [[Mushroom Ringleader]], they can be easily destroyed when he is revealed.

There's not much you can do about this zombie early in the game, because he hides in a gravestone. However, [[Morning Glory]], [[Pepper M.D.]], [[Black-Eyed Pea]] and a boosted [[Snowdrop]] can destroy him. In addition, Grave Buster can be used. This is extremely suggested if the plant hero is [[Spudow]], and a gravestone appears in a lane with [[Shroom for Two]] in it, as a Beastly zombie hero would likely play this in that lane to destroy them.

Strategies

With

Pied Piper's ability to weaken, and possibly destroy a plant is what makes him handy. It is best to play him on a lane with a plant that has 1HeartPvZH, or 3HeartPvZH at most for Pied Piper to destroy it. Also, since the ability decreases stats and affects all plants on that lane, it can bypass Team-Up plants to destroy a frail plant behind, or PvZH Armored IconArmored plants since the trait does not prevent stat reduction. If there is a dangerous plant with 1HeartPvZH, such as Magnifying Grass or Mushroom Ringleader, they can be easily destroyed when he is revealed.

If you manage to keep Pied Piper alive with Electric Boogaloo, he can be used in a dancing deck with Aerobics Instructor and Flamenco Zombie since he is a dancing zombie. Pied Piper can also give boosts to Cat Lady and Zookeeper, since he is also a pet zombie.

However, Pied Piper's ability will not activate if there are no plants on his lane. Grave Buster is also a big counter to this zombie.

Against

There is not much you can do about this zombie early in the game because he hides in a gravestone. This means you will have to play Grave Buster if you want to destroy him without harm. This is extremely suggested if a gravestone appears on a lane with two plants in it.
