As they are slowed by your Winter Melons they will suffer heavy damage and usually not be able to pick up any plant. If not than only one or two should remain. Bungee Zombies: You should be able to deflect nearly all of them with your Umbrella Leafs. In levels with Zombonis I also recommend choosing Spikeweed and Spikerock to replace damaged defences. Activate them with a Coffee Bean if needed. I also recommend having some Ice-Shrooms ready. it will come in handy to deal with incoming hordes. Once you have your setup ready you should always choose some explosive power from the plant menu. Obviously you should have more Sunflowers in the beginning, I recommend the usual two rows, and replace them slowly later on. Focus to get your Cattails up and running in the beginning while setting up Kernel-Pults in the non-pool lanes. With this setup you should be good to go. Revert to the original setting if needed on the next level. If you should be rushed by Digger Zombies who take out a Winter Melon, plant a Spikerock in it's place. They slow hordes of zombies and pack a punch.

While they are infrequent they can seriously mess up your defences.ĩ th column: Winter Melons. The Umbrella Leafs are used to deflect Basketballs and Bungee Zombies. The Pumpkins will need some maintenance but they should be okay as long as you keep an eye on them. The Gloom-Shrooms will be able to deal with Imps and Digger Zombies.


In the inner row however I planted Umbrella Leafs. The outer row was identical, having Gloom-Shrooms. The area damage comes in handy but the row will need a Cob Cannon shot from time to time.Ĩ th column: I used a different setup. The Winter Melons will keep the outer row in check since it will not be covered from the Gloom-Shrooms. Remaining pool slots: See 4 th and 5 th column.Ħ th and 7 th column: While the outer row (relative to the edge of the screen) is packed with two Winter Melons the inner row (the one near the pool) holds Twin Sunflowers to net you some funds. They are also great when waves of Football Zombies keep coming or when you quickly need to clear Dolphin Riders or Digger Zombies that threaten your plants. Two cobs will take out normal Gargantuars while you will still have 2 cobs in reserve on each side (well up and down) should more Gargantuars show up or should the red-eyed ones show. In addition they will be able to attack Imps that are thrown by the Gargantuars.Ĥ th and 5 th column - Cob Cannons: They pack a serious punch and together with the remaining pool slots, those 8 cannons will form a near seamless rotation and will be able to take out masses of zombies. They are your lifeline in levels with Balloon Zombies. The Umbrella Leaf is great for protecting against the Bungee Zombies. They will slow down Dolphin Riders and alleviate the attacks on the Gloom-Shrooms. If you are not in need of more sun power than I suggest having a Winder Melon. Instead I opted for an Umbrella Leaf and a Twin Sunflower. I had enough cash at that point and to be honest I think that the controls are good enough to pick up money yourself. 4 th column in the pool: I did not use double magnets. In addition they give you more time to deal with Gargantuars. Spikerocks on 3 rd column from right (as will be referenced all columns): They will keep out unwanted Zombonis and damage zombies that make it that far.

The only downside is that in levels with massive Dolphin Riders you will be hard pressed on the 3 rd column from the right and need to keep an eye on the pumpkins. 6 front slots in pool -> Gloom-Shrooms with Pumpkins: They will attack everything around them, obliterating normal zombies that get into the pool and making short work of everything in the two adjacent lanes that is not moving to fast.
