Strategies
With
Buckethead is basically a beefed-up version of Conehead. His decent health, along with the
Armored 1 trait, makes him very good against plants that either can't destroy him in one attack or can't survive an attack from him. He can survive powerful tricks like Cherry Bomb and Berry Blast while hitting fairly hard. However, watch out for instant-kill tricks, and especially for
Solar heroes.
However, it is better to use Bonus Track Buckethead instead if you have it, since he has the Dancing tribe and can also nullify bonus attacks at the exact same cost of 4 brains and the same stats. The exception to this is of you are running a professional deck, namely with Zombie Middle Manager and Jurassic Fossilhead. A normal Buckethead may prove to be more useful than Bonus Track Buckethead in this situation.
Against
Because Buckethead has the
Armored 1 trait, he is usually hard to defeat with normal means. To easily destroy him, use instant-kill tricks such as Whack-a-Zombie and Squash or boost your plants so they are able to destroy him. Unless his health has been boosted, Hothead and Sizzle will also instantly destroy him.
