Strategy

 * Hide behind Cacti in order to evade Enemies.
 * Cactus look like a spike but one that is unbreakable use into when your fighting.
 * You can use a Cactus for trolling.
 * When mining Food from it, try to stay a good distance away, so you don't get damaged by it.
 * If you position yourself correctly behind the cactus, a Bull, Bully, or Wolf will run into the Cactus and turn away from you.
 * You can in close the Treasure with walls around a cactus since the Pit Trap-Spike combo won't work on it.
 * Place Boost Pads around it to give your opponents a slow and painful death.
 * Build a base with this as a wall, seeing as it's essentially an indestructible spike, but beware because the spike damages everything, including enemies, allies, and mobs.
 * Placing Boost Pads toward a cactus is effective against MOOFIE and the Treasure Chest. As an indestructible spike, the Cactus will keep quickly depleting their health. But make sure you deal the final blow on your target!
 * Don't rush into a Cactus. Sometimes, Cacti deal a lot of damage in a very short amount of time. It can (very rarely) even instantly kill you!
 * If you are new to the game or just don't want to bother fighting MOOSTAFA but still want the rewards, you can use a Cactus to weaken MOOSTAFA, then finish MOOSTAFA with your weapons.
 * Try to not mine a Cactus with Daggers as you may rush into a Cactus. It may also be harder to position yourself correctly and not get hurt as Daggers have low range. However, with enough skill, this will be easy to avoid.
