===Ability usage===
'''Death Brings Life'''
* Know the ways that you gain sprouts in order to best use
** Every time you hit any enemy 12 times with A Thousand Petals.
** For every 50 damage your teammate does with Preservation active on them.
** For every hit on Root of the Oak.
** Every time you get an assist.
* Each of these can be more ideal depending on the situation
'''A Thousand Petals'''
* You should always be doing damage or planting sprouts whenever possible.
* Use on Phighters with large hitboxes and slow speed to quickly gain sprouts, such as Ban Hammer or Katana.
*
* A common misconception is that Vinestaff's primary deals too little damage to kill people. While it is true she lacks quick burst damage to finish off low health enemies, her slow but high damage whittles away health. Do not be afraid to engage in 1v1's or take high ground to rain petals from above.
** Use your sprouts beforehand to sustain yourself and move closer to ensure all of your projectiles hit. Your sprouts will continue to heal you with every 12 shots hit.
** If needed, {{Abilitylink|VinestaffQ}} can also provide additional healing.
** Be aware that other opponents may dive in to support their teammate, so always have an escape plan and use natural cover.
'''Preservation'''
*
* Use your Preservation on
* Don't hold onto it for too long, it lasts for 8 seconds and the healing is slower than you may think.
* Use Preservation when a teammate is using a Phinisher. Many Phighters have a Phinisher that deals large amounts of damage. Use Preservation to both sustain them in their Phinisher as well as gain sprouts. Biograft's and Katana's Phinisher are both excellent examples of Phighters to use Preservation on when their Phinisher is active.
*Be careful to not use it on a teammate who is very low health, as it is far more likely they will die before they can use the effects. Consider using {{Abilitylink|VinestaffSecondary}} instead.
'''Root of the Oak'''
*
* Be wary of immediately initating with it, save it for when you're being chased or need to secure a kill.
* Root of the Oak is able to hit enemies and explode sprouts at the same time.
'''Lotus of the Den'''
* Use proactively
** Be very careful where you place it and when you use it, you immediately become a target for a shutdown.
* Consider saving sprouts until you use your Phinisher, as when it is active your sprouts grow at level two instead of level one.
*
* Keep in mind delay between bursts. You are not immortal because you used your Phinisher.
