Strategies

With

Since a Hothead is just a stronger version of Potato Mine, it is better for the player to save this superpower for bigger opponents, and use a regular Potato Mine on zombies that have 2 health or less.

Hothead can be used to block and heavily damage powerful zombies during the late-game, like Trickster and Shieldcrusher Viking, or even in the early-game, such as an Evolved Jurassic Fossilhead on turn 2 (as Jurassic Fossilhead's Untrickable trait makes him immune to tricks). Combining this with Potato Mine is also a good idea.

It synergizes with Astro-Shroom since it counts as a plant being played. It also synergizes with Starch-Lord as well due to Hothead being a root plant, allowing it to deal a little extra damage. However, it doesn't synergize with Muscle Sprout because Spudow is not a Mega-Grow hero, which means he has to obtain it from Seedling, Reincarnation, Transfiguration, Molekale, or Petal-Morphosis first. Green Shadow, on the other hand, has access to it, so she has to obtain Tater Toss from Bird of Paradise first.

Against

If Spudow uses this, use a weak zombie to waste it. However, this will likely not be the case, as this is typically used to take out a strong zombie after it was played, and you'll have to find another way to bait it out.

Most likely, the only options to counter this is to boost the zombie's health, play a moving trick like Smoke Bomb or Terrify, move Hothead out of the way with Sumo Wrestler or Rodeo Gargantuar, or protect the zombie with Escape through Time. If Hothead is played preemptively to deter you from making your play, you can use tricks or abilities like Rolling Stone, Celestial Custodian, Conga Zombie or Bungee Plumber to dispose of it.

Single player AIs will play this almost immediately, which can help you waste the ability if you place a weak zombie.
