Strategies
With
Carrotillery is an incredibly powerful plant that packs a powerful punch to the zombies or your opponent. He acts like a Shellery with higher stats, so use it as you would use Shellery. However, his health is still rather low and as such, he is still very vulnerable to many tricks. This flaw can be fixed by playing cards like Grow-Shroom to increase his health or to make use of his Team-Up trait and play Carrotillery behind another plant. Naturally, it is best to use this plant against high-health zombies like Smashing Gargantuar, Cat Lady, Newspaper Zombie, Overstuffed Zombie, Zombie King, and Jester. You can also use Brainana to prevent Carrotillery from being easily destroyed from tricks.
Because he is a root plant, he can synergize with Starch-Lord. However, this combo is only allowed by Citron and Beta-Carrotina. Speaking of 
Guardian and Smarty, Red Stinger, when placed behind a plant, has better stats at the same cost, and can also serve another function, and if you team them up you can tally up to 12 damage to the zombie hero, but it is too expensive.
Against
Although he is a very powerful plant, many zombies can destroy him in one attack due to his low health, making him easier to deal with when placed alone. However, his Team-Up trait means that your opponent usually is most likely going to play him behind a tougher plant. Therefore, playing a damaging/destroying trick such as Rocket Science, Cut Down to Size, or Bungee Plumber is a good idea, as they can bypass the plant in front of Carrotillery. You can also play Beam Me Up to easily destroy Carrotillery if he is not protected. Hot Dog Imp is also a cheap and effective choice due to his 
Strikethrough trait, hitting Carrotillery and destroying him, even if he is behind another plant. However, do remember that Space Cadet and Hot Dog Imp will be destroyed unless their health is over 6 or they are shielded.

Trivia
- If one notices carefully, he has only two carrot missiles and two wheels. His Plants vs. Zombies 2 (Chinese) counterpart, however, has four carrot missiles and four wheels. His pods also appear to be made of leaves.
- However, in Rustbolt's comic strip, he looks exactly like his original counterpart. His carrot launchers also look like his costume.
- On the advertisement for the Rose Ally Pack, he only has one carrot missile instead of two.
- He is one of the only plant cards in the game along with Small Nut, Hot Date, Button Mushroom, Cattail & Bellflower to have one of 3 possible sounds play when spawned. Out of these, he is the only Uncommon card.
