Infi-nut can be useful as a defensive plant against this zombie because, unlike other defensive plants, Infi-nut can recover once shot by the laser of the Turquoise Skull Zombie. Intensive Carrot can instantly recover any destroyed plants. If these zombies get close, knockback plants like Primal Peashooters can knock them out of range, causing them to waste an attack or incinerate plants that aren't that useful.

However, Cactus must be planted near the zombie to avoid being burned by its beam. Cactus and Celery Stalker can also be useful. One attack from Magnifying Grass will instantly kill one of them.

The main weakness of this zombie is its own ability to steal sun, as it keeps it from being overpowered, as it will always try to steal sun before burning the plants in front of it. The instant kill abilities of Turquoise Skull Zombie can quickly become a problem, especially in Temple of Bloom, when it is accompanied by a group of Buckethead Adventurer Zombies, Excavator Zombies, Parasol Zombies, or worse, Porter Gargantuars.
