Strategies
With
Fishy Imp looks like a regular glass cannon, but with the Amphibious trait. Therefore, you should play her on an aquatic lane, where defenses are typically weak.
When playing as Neptuna, using Camel Crossing can extend Fishy Imp's survivability. Rolling Stone can be used to protect Fishy Imp early on from plants such as Admiral Navy Bean. In addition, giving Fishy Imp
Frenzy early on using Going Viral or Possessed can make her a formidable threat because of her high strength stat.
Fishy Imp can also apply pressure using Zookeeper and Cat Lady due to her pet tribe, along with Toxic Waste Imp and Imp Commander due to her Imp tribe. However, only Brain Freeze can run pet synegies with her.
Against
Fishy Imp can easily be destroyed because of her low health. However, do not underestimate Fishy Imp, as she can do a lot of damage if you are not prepared. Every class has good chances of defeating this zombie.
Smarty and
Guardian have a good number of Amphibious plants which can be used against Fishy Imp,
Solar and
Kabloom have many damaging and instant-kill cards such as Berry Blast and Squash, and
Mega-Grow can move Amphibious zombies with moving cards like Sweet Potato and Whipvine. Additionally, every hero leads two classes, which provides more options to effectively take Fishy Imp out.
