Strategies[]
With[]
Prickly Pear acts like Jester for plant side. The main goal for Prickly Pear is to try and give her the slowest destruction as possible so that she can make use of her ability to its highest potential. Prickly Pear can retaliate back when hurt, and with an offensive plant behind, makes quick work of the Zombie Hero. Prickly Pear can be boosted by Spineapple too, giving it some base strength.
This plant is great to put in Hot Lava and Trapper Territory, due to her high health and that your opponent will avoid doing damage to it. She can pressure your opponent into not playing a weak zombie against her, as she will slowly damage your opponent regardless of whether that zombie is there or not.
Do note that Prickly Pear's ability does not activate if it is instantly destroyed and that its ability cannot harm your opponent. Therefore, your opponent may take advantage of it and either play an instant-kill card or harm Prickly Pear while there are no zombies facing it.
Against[]
Prickly Pear is a dangerous plant if you do not counter it well. 4 damage is quite a lot against almost all zombies that can be played on the fourth turn, destroying or heavily damaging them.
Because it does damage whenever it is hurt, Freezing it or doing a bonus attack will not do your zombie any good since it will get hurt anyway, as it would when it hurts Prickly Pear normally.
It is best to destroy it in one hit, requiring a zombie with 4 or more strength. Deadly zombies can also be a replacement for the aforementioned example.
A good thing to note is that Prickly Pear's ability can only damage zombies and not you, so you can safely play tricks on it when no zombies are on its lane. Also, since Prickly Pear's ability only activates when it is hurt and not when its stats or lowered or it is instantly destroyed, you are free to play any stat-lowering or instant-kill cards against Prickly Pear without any harm.
