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 [[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{{PvZH Icon|strength}} to 5{{PvZH Icon|strength}}, like {{PvZHLink|Winter Melon}} and [[Soul Patch]], to 1{{PvZH Icon|strength}} or 2{{PvZH Icon|strength}}, making them vulnerable to Rolling Stone. Similarly, you can use [[Landscaper]], [[Pied Piper]], and [[Nibble]] to decrease any plant's strength. |

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. If there are many plants with 0-2 strength, then play Weed Spray instead. Still, it would be wise to bring both in a hearty deck, as while Weed Spray is cost-efficiennt, Rolling Stone costs less and can take care of early-game threats. |

Boost your plants' strength to at least 3 to keep them out of the range of Rolling Stone. {{PvZH Class|Mega-Grow}} and {{PvZH Class|Kabloom}} heroes can easily boost strength, {{PvZH Class|Smarty}} heroes have access to [[Go-Nuts]] (although they only work in a '''[[Card#Team-Up|Team-Up]]''' deck), while {{PvZH Class|Guardian}} heroes have access to [[Three-Nut]] and [[Loco Coco]]. {{PvZH Class|Solar}} heroes lack all the aforementioned options, but they have natural access to many 3-strength plants. You can also play [[Black-Eyed Pea]] or [[Sportacus]] to deter your opponent from playing this trick, although if you are using the former, it is recommended to boost its strength first. |

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. If there are many plants with 0-2 strength, then play Weed Spray instead. Still, it would be wise to bring both in a hearty deck, as while Weed Spray is cost-efficiennt, Rolling Stone costs less and can take care of early-game threats.
Against
Boost your plants' strength to at least 3 to keep them out of the range of Rolling Stone.
