This trick can be good for the start of the game if the plant hero chooses to play a card. However, you can also save this card for another opportunity. Use this to destroy any threatening or set-up plant like {{PvZHLink|Pea Pod}}, {{PvZHLink|Sunflower}}, or {{PvZHLink|Wall-Nut}}. Plants like [[Spineapple]] boosts all plants with no strength to 2, which makes Rolling Stone come in handy, being able to destroy any of the boosted plants. As [[Rustbolt]], you can use his signature superpower, [[Shrink Ray]], to weaken a plant that has 3 to 5 strength to 0 to 2, making them vulnerable to Rolling Stone. Similarly, you can use [[Landscaper]], [[Pied Piper]], and [[Nibble]] to decrease any plant's strength. However, if there are multiple 0 to 2-strength plants, [[Weed Spray]] is definitely a better option.

Strategies

With

This trick can be good for the start of the game if your opponent chooses to play a plant. However, you can also save this card for another opportunity. Use this to destroy any threatening or setup plant like Template:PvZHLink, Template:PvZHLink, or Template:PvZHLink. Spineapple decks are also a good option, as Spineapple boosts all plants with 0 strength to 2, which makes Rolling Stone come in handy, being able to destroy any of the boosted plants. As Rustbolt, you can use his signature superpower, Shrink Ray, to weaken a plant that has 3 to 5 strength to 0 to 2, making them vulnerable to Rolling Stone. Similarly, you can use Landscaper, Pied Piper, or Nibble to decrease any plant's strength. However, if there are multiple 0 to 2-strength plants, Weed Spray is definitely a better option.

Against

Boost your plants' strength to at least 3 to keep them out of the range of Rolling Stone. PvZH Mega-Grow IconMega-Grow and PvZH Kabloom IconKabloom heroes can easily boost strength, PvZH Smarty IconSmarty heroes have access to Go-Nuts (although they only work in a Team-Up deck), while PvZH Guardian IconGuardian heroes have access to Three-Nut and Loco Coco.
