Spineapple is a basiccommonplantcard in Plants vs. Zombies Heroes, and a member of the Guardian class. He costs 3 to play, and has 3. He has no traits, and his ability gives all plants on the field +2, but only those with no strength, including him.
Spineapple is based on a pineapple, a tropical plant with multiple edible fruit. His name is a portmanteau of the words "spine", referring to the spikes he has, and "pineapple", the plant he is based on.
His card description references his ability, as he is said to be "looking out for the little guy," i.e. the weak plant with no strength.

Strategies
With
The player should use this in tandem with other plants like this such as Template:PvZHLink or Template:PvZHLink. However, plants like Template:PvZHLink should especially be used, as they are cheap and can be boosted by Spineapple easily. Water Chestnut and Hibernating Beary also work well with this. Using plants with the Team-Up trait along with this plant can really benefit as well. This plant can also regain strength that other plants have lost from cards like Nibble, Stupid Cupid, Template:PvZHLink, Pied Piper or Shrink Ray.
However, keep in mind that if you want to use this card alongside other stat-boosting cards such as Berry Angry or Storm Front, it is better to play this card first, as playing him after the previously mentioned will make his ability useless, as this card only affects plants with 0 strength.
Also, you still need to be careful against Hearty heroes because Weed Spray and Rolling Stone can still destroy plants with low strength, even if Spineapple is played, so you must play Spineapple carefully if the zombie hero saves 3 brains or more. However, Spudow can use Berry Angry and Storm Front to boost the plants' strength even further, rendering them invulnerable to said zombie tricks, while Grass Knuckles can also boost plants further with cards such as Fertilize, although it may take more time to make a formidable defense due to those cards usually only boosting one plant at a time. Both strategies also could put the plants at risk of being destroyed by Rocket Science or Cut Down to Size, so try not to boost any valuable plants too heavily if you are facing a Brainy hero.
Against
If there are a lot of plants on the field, Spineapple can cause a lot of mayhem. The best method of disposing of these plants is Weed Spray, as long as the plants are not boosted in any way. This is especially helpful for destroying plants with high health like Wall-Nut. However, if there are not that many plants on the field, using Rolling Stone can also work. Additionally, using stat-decreasing tricks like Nibble can help ease the situation.
