== Strategies ==
=== With ===

=== Against ===
It is easiest to counter Spear by using zombies with the Frenzy trait, as it allows them to do extra bonus attacks, or zombies such as and .
You can also redirect Spear's attack by using zombies with lower health to your advantage, whilst also using tricks that boost zombies' health to prevent them from taking damage at all.

You can also use zombies with the Armored trait to reduce the effectiveness of the trick, however, there is a high likelihood that it will not attack the zombie. Environments such as will kill the plant instantly, if left as normal.
