==Hero Quests==
==Strategy==
===With===
Stingneedle capitalizes on the aggressive capabilities of the Solar and Guardian classes unlike his more defensive counterpart. He is specifically equipped to buff and provide utility to his field. Due to his signature superpower, Stingneedle can make every attack dangerous as he allows his plants to ignore both its blocker and the Zombie Hero's block meter.
Stingneedle can run a very aggressive deck with the likes of Galacta-Cactus and Apple-Saucer to burst down the opponent as fast as possible, and if combined with his signature superpower, can allow all them and all his other weaker plants to bypass the block meter and be an actual threat to the opponent.
He also capable of playing a decent tempo deck with a mix of Bullseye and Strikethrough plants. In this type of deck you would want to make very valuable plays in order to finish your opponent with a well-timed Ranger's Focus. It is important to save your Cactical Gear in order to protect your prime win-condition.
Lastly, Stingneedle can run a decent heal deck that is very much supplemented by his Aloe Aid superpower as it is a cheap and versatile way to activate your Pepper M.D..
===Against===
Be very watchful of how Stingneedle plans out his early board in order to identify if he is trying to burst you down or make value trades. He does not have the sustain and defensive capabilities of Wall-Knight which generally makes it easier to find weakspots and potentially burst him down.
