With
Discob Cannon can be seen as the fighter equivalent of Wall-Nut Bowling, dealing lesser damage in exchange for decreased cost and coming with a powerful Plant body of above-the-average stats. The requirement to play 10 Nuts before unlocking the ability, however, forbids this card from being played in earlier turn, despite having enough sun already. Several ways can be used to be able to play lots of Nuts. Cosmic Nut may help conjuring more Nuts while deploying Wall-Nut Bowling counts as playing 4 Nuts with one card.

Since this card is a Nut itself, Smackadamia and Mirror-Nut synergizes with Discob Cannon. Playing a dry Discob Cannon without having unlocked the ability before might not be a good idea, though still can prove to be helpful, as Discob Cannon comes with huge stats for its cost.

Keep in mind that Zombies who can't be hurt and Gravestones can fully block the damage if they are on the Ground lanes. Zombies who can be hurt can also prevent damage done to the Zombie Hero.

Against
Discob Cannon has the potential to be a game-changing late-game card just like Wall-Nut Bowling if the Plant manages to hit the Zombie Hero. When facing an enemy player who seems to play a lot of Nuts or a Nut deck in general, try blocking Ground lanes with Zombies and Gravestones to prevent Discob Cannon or Wall-Nut Bowling destroying your hero.

When dealing with Discob Cannon alone, try using tricks such as Cut Down to Size, Rocket Science, or Locust Swarm to outright destroy the Plant. Stalling by playing Zombies during tricks with the help of Beam Me Up, Summoning, etc. might also work.
