==Strategies==
===With===
Lunar Geranium is best used as an investment. Having only 1 means that it's not very good at fighting, but its 5 will allow it to last a few turns. Lunar Geranium is not guaranteed to give you sun the turn after you play it, unlike . As such, if used as a turn 3 play, make sure you have cards in your hand that are able to boost it, otherwise you'll be left with a weak 1/5 on the field that your opponent will target.
Due to its inability to produce sun if plants with less than 2 are destroyed, is unable to use cards like or to activate Lunar Geranium's ability. However, she is able to use . However, spamming plants is probably not the best way to activate Lunar Geranium's ability, as you're just wasting sun this turn to get more next turn, especially if there are any Frenzy zombies in play that will benefit from all of them. Instead, it is best to perfectly counter every zombie in play, as plants go second. This will mean that not only will you get extra sun next turn, you'll also have gotten rid of plenty of threats, unlike what would happen if you just played tons of little plants.
Another strategy is to use cards that destroy plants to activate Lunar Geranium's ability. is probably a good card, as she hits hard and will eventually destroy herself. However, this is normally only possible by Solar Flare. and can also be good methods, except they both have their flaws: the former may end up destroying the Lunar Geranium herself, while the latter is normally only accessible by .
Probably one of the best ways to use Lunar Geranium is to pair her with . Not only does her being a part of the Flower tribe synergize well with it, but since many plants that activate Briar Rose's ability will also end up getting destroyed eventually, they will activate Lunar Geranium's ability too.
===Against===
Lunar Geranium has low strength, so heroes can instantly destroy it with a . If there are many 2-strength plants in play, can be used instead, and Lunar Geranium won't even be able to activate its ability because it will get destroyed too. Due to its high health, the other classes don't have too many ways to destroy it. heroes can front her with Deadly zombies, but of course, since plants play second, they might get destroyed. heroes are able to use hard removal like , except it may be a waste considering her stats and the fact that she only costs 3. has no reliable way to get rid of Lunar Geranium and as such should try to prioritize taking it down before any other plant.
