Rhubarbecue

Rhubarbecue is an Event Plant card in Plants vs. Zombies Heroes, and a member of the class. It costs 1 to play, and its ability makes the amount of damage he does equal to his health stat. It also gets +1 Health at the start of every turn.
==Origins==
Rhubarbecue is a portmanteau on the Rhubarb, a stalky vegetable similar to the Celery, and barbecue, a method of cooking using smoke and live fire, hence its appearance. Despite this, it more resembles a campfire.

===With===
In a similar manner to Blooming Heart, Rhubarbeque should be used as an early-game aggressive Tempo card to distract or overwhelm the Zombie Hero. Because of its nature of using its Health instead of to attack, Guardian Heroes should have an easier time to bring it to a very high potential with cards like Grape Responsibility or Photosynthesizer.
Because it does less damage the more it is hurt, it is recommended to play Team-Up Plants in front of it to prevent its Health, and therefore Strength, from lowering after combat. If you are Wall-Knight, you can instead heal Rhubarbecue afterward.
Its 3 Strength may be something to glance over, given the fact that Rhubarbecue uses its Health for Strength, but this allows Rhubarbeque to bypass Hearty control cards like Rolling Stone. It can also be used in conjunction with Plaintain, which lets it use its 3 Strength offensively, but this will quickly prove to be detrimental as its Health will stay at 2.
Of course, it is a terrible late-game card. Most cards by that point in the game can easily mow down Rhubarbecue unless you can pull off a devastating combo with him. Even then, try not to spend too many cards on Rhubarbecue, as it may get destroyed by the late-game.
===Against===
Rhubarbecue may seem scary a few turns when it is played, but note that destroying it early on with damaging tricks, like Bungee Plumber, is your best strategy. Even if you can't kill it, try to damage it as much as possible before combat to ensure it does as little damage as possible.
