Place Primal Puff-shrooms in the front lines, close to where zombies are entering the lawn. Their short lifespan is less of an issue when they are dealing extra damage due to their proximity ability. Use them as a first line of defense to weaken zombies before they reach your more powerful plants. Pair Primal Puff-shrooms with plants that can stall or slow down zombies, such as Iceberg Lettuce or Stallia. This gives the Primal Puff-shrooms more time to deal damage to zombies before they reach your critical plants in the back.
Use Primal Puff-shrooms in clusters to amplify each other's damage. When placed in groups, their proximity abilities will stack, making them more effective against stronger zombies. This strategy is particularly useful in dealing with high-health zombies or mini-bosses. 
If your game concept includes a plant upgrade system, invest in upgrades that extend the lifespan of Primal Puff-shrooms or increase their damage output. Additionally, consider using plant food or other power-ups to temporarily enhance their abilities during crucial moments in the level. Use defensive plants like Wall-nuts or Tall-nuts to shield Primal Puff-shrooms from being attacked. This can give them more time to utilize their proximity ability before being destroyed. Additionally, consider planting defensive plants that slow down or damage zombies, giving Primal Puff-shrooms an extra advantage.
