Soul Patch is a fantastic clutch card able to absorb a good amount of damage and hit quite hard, allowing you to rebuild your defenses or stall a few turns for victory while he holds the line.
When you have Soul Patch in your hand and you are on low health, it is recommended to play this plant so you can survive some more turns to either heal up, draw some more cards, or fight back.
 
  +
  +
But while Soul Patch has a lot of health, it can be depleted very quickly due to him redirecting any damaging done to you as well. Therefore, you need to boost Soul Patch's survivability to get the most out of him, and the best option is to play shielding cards like [[Root Wall]], {{PvZHLink|Peel Shield}}, and {{PvZHLink|Force Field}} which allows Soul Patch to absorb and nullify as much damage as he can, making both it and you completely invulnerable (unless stat-degrading or instant-kill cards are used). If that is not an option, play a '''[[Card#Team-Up|Team-Up]]''' plant like {{PvZHLink|Wall-Nut}} in front of him. Then, to prevent as much damage done to him as possible, fill the other lanes with plants.
   
  +
Since Soul Patch is a flower, he can boost the efficiency of {{PvZHLink|Power Flower}}'s ability for a long time due to his great bulk, while [[Briar Rose]] punishes opponents that try to use strong zombies to destroy him. Since he is also a root, [[Starch-Lord]] can give him a small initial boost, making him harder for your opponent to deal with when he is played.
To get the most out of this plant, you need to boost his survivability. You can use shielding cards like [[Root Wall]], {{PvZH Link|Peel Shield}} or {{PvZH Link|Force Field}} to protect Soul Patch from any forms of damage. This is especially useful for protecting Soul Patch from further damage, especially when he is about to be destroyed by a powerful zombie. Boosting this plant so that he can take more damage while hitting harder is also good. You can also play a '''[[Card#Team-Up|Team-Up]]''' plant like {{PvZHLink|Wall-Nut}} in front of him as well. Finally, to prevent as much damage done to him as possible, fill the other lanes with plants. However, {{PvZH Icon|deadly}}[[Card#Deadly|'''Deadly''']] zombies can destroy him if one lands a successful hit on any empty lane, due to Soul Patch taking the hit instead.
 
   
Playing [[Pecanolith]] with Soul Patch is also quite useful, as with his 10 health he is able to destroy any non-boosted zombie that is played. However, he will get weaker as he takes more damage, so try to keep his health high with health-boosting cards.
+
Using [[Pecanolith]] and Soul Patch together is also a useful combo, as he essentially has 10 strength, being able to destroy any non-boosted zombie fronting him. However, he will get weaker as he takes damage, so again, try to keep his health high with health-boosting cards or shield him.
   
{{PvZHLink|Citron}} and [[Beta-Carrotina]] are able to '''Bounce''' him with [[Rescue Radish]], restoring him to full health, and then play him again. However, '''Bouncing''' him and then replaying him in the same turn will require the current turn to be 10 or later, meaning it can be quite risky to '''Bounce''' him on turn 9 or earlier, especially if you are low on health.
+
{{PvZHLink|Citron}} and [[Beta-Carrotina]] are able to '''[[Card#Bounce|Bounce]]''' him with [[Rescue Radish]], restoring him to full health, and then play him again. However, '''Bouncing''' him and then replaying him on the same turn can only be done starting from turns 10 and on, so it can be quite risky to '''Bounce''' him before that if your health isn't high.
   
  +
Soul Patch's greatest weakness is {{PvZH Icon|deadly}}'''[[Card#Deadly|Deadly]]''' zombies (excluding [[Cosmic Imp]]); due to his ability, he is vulnerable on not only his lane, but any empty lanes as well. Instant-kill cards also pose a threat to him, especially [[Primordial Cheese Shover]] and [[Zombot 1000]].
As of update 1.16.10, he became much better, since he has the flower and root tribes rather than vine, meaning [[Wall-Knight]] can use this as an effective way to boost the efficiency of {{PvZHLink|Power Flower}} and [[Briar Rose]] due to his high health and {{PvZH Icon|armored}}'''Armored 1''' trait, while Guardian heroes in general can use this with [[Starch-Lord]], making him harder for your opponent to deal with when he is played.

It is also best to destroy any Starch-Lords before this card is played. Otherwise, he will become harder to destroy.

Strategies

With

Soul Patch is a fantastic clutch card able to absorb a good amount of damage and hit quite hard, allowing you to rebuild your defenses or stall a few turns for victory while he holds the line.

But while Soul Patch has a lot of health, it can be depleted very quickly due to him redirecting any damaging done to you as well. Therefore, you need to boost Soul Patch's survivability to get the most out of him, and the best option is to play shielding cards like Root Wall, Template:PvZHLink, and Template:PvZHLink which allows Soul Patch to absorb and nullify as much damage as he can, making both it and you completely invulnerable (unless stat-degrading or instant-kill cards are used). If that is not an option, play a Team-Up plant like Template:PvZHLink in front of him. Then, to prevent as much damage done to him as possible, fill the other lanes with plants.

Since Soul Patch is a flower, he can boost the efficiency of Template:PvZHLink's ability for a long time due to his great bulk, while Briar Rose punishes opponents that try to use strong zombies to destroy him. Since he is also a root, Starch-Lord can give him a small initial boost, making him harder for your opponent to deal with when he is played.

Using Pecanolith and Soul Patch together is also a useful combo, as he essentially has 10 strength, being able to destroy any non-boosted zombie fronting him. However, he will get weaker as he takes damage, so again, try to keep his health high with health-boosting cards or shield him.

Template:PvZHLink and Beta-Carrotina are able to Bounce him with Rescue Radish, restoring him to full health, and then play him again. However, Bouncing him and then replaying him on the same turn can only be done starting from turns 10 and on, so it can be quite risky to Bounce him before that if your health isn't high.

Soul Patch's greatest weakness is PvZH Deadly IconDeadly zombies (excluding Cosmic Imp); due to his ability, he is vulnerable on not only his lane, but any empty lanes as well. Instant-kill cards also pose a threat to him, especially Primordial Cheese Shover and Zombot 1000.

Against

When your opponent has this plant on the field, try to Bounce him away (although your opponent can play him later again), or destroy him with instant-kill cards such as Locust Swarm, Cut Down to Size, and Rocket Science. Additionally, zombies with the PvZH Deadly IconDeadly trait that have more than 1StrengthPvZH are recommended as they can instantly destroy this plant if they attack on an empty lane or Soul Patch itself.

If you are against a flower or root deck containing Soul Patch, destroy any Power Flowers, Briar Roses, and Starch-Lords before he synergizes with them and causes more trouble.
