Strategies

With

This card is very useful at the start. If none of the ground lanes are covered, this can normally do 6 damage to the zombie hero. In certain missions, all of the lanes are ground lanes and if you have this, use this as soon as possible as you will strike down 10 health of the zombie hero if not blocked.

However, this card is also useful for getting rid of pesky low-health zombies, and as such, you may want to use it for when the zombie hero tries to play many weaker zombies, as Grass Knuckles does not have many other ways to counter rush decks. It is also a great counter for many zombie Superpowers, such as Triple Threat and Dance Off.

Do not use this if the ground lanes are occupied with Knight of the Living Dead, shielded zombies, or untrickable zombies, otherwise they will go unaffected, wasting the superpower.

Against

Treat this card like Green Shadow's Precision Blast. If Grass Knuckles has this superpower at the start of a battle, then there isn't much you can do, forcing you to accept at least 6 damage (minus 2 damage per zombie in the ground lanes) dealt to your hero. If he has it later in the game, however, make sure you have a zombie in each ground lane that have high health, therefore they will take damage instead of your hero.

You can also play Gravestone zombies or hide your zombies in gravestones with Mixed-Up Gravedigger or Cursed Gargolith, but beware of Blockbuster. Planetary Gladiator can also be played on the first turn to protect you from this superpower, but keep in mind that he will be destroyed if it is used on said turn.

As a last resort, you can play Dance Off (only possible as Electric Boogaloo or Professor Brainstorm) in the hopes that they will block some lanes. You can also play Parasol Zombie to help protect your zombies from this trick.

Trivia

• Its description refers to the term "knuckle sandwich," which is a slang term for a punch in the mouth.
• This may be a nod to Bonk Choy's Plant Food effect from Plants vs. Zombies 2. Using Plant Food on it will deliver many punches in an area around it, similar to what Grass Knuckles does here.
