I think Torchwood's triple damage is very hard to match with F2P plants, @MAGICDAVESHROOM managed to get almost 18M with peanut and reinforcemint.
I ran with:
Cauli x 2, Apple Mortar, Moonflower, Grimrose and Armamint. 1.3mil
Cauli x 2, Dazey, Moonflower, Shadow Pea and Containmint 1mil
Cauli x 2 (lv6), Apple Mortar (lv7), Moonflower (lv6), Electrici-tea (lv5) and Filamint 1.9mil
E.T. seems to be holding up well in this tournament, I plonk it near the front and also if a pilot manages to eat a plant, I place an E.T. underneath it so it can eat it too.
I haven't tried or seen the Laser Bean strat yet. Will look at it later. Hoping the bottom 4 starts playing lol, was hoping to fall back to Gold for the next tournament.
FYI from Haemophilus_EA on Reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/PlantsVSZombies/comments/cvc587/arena_caulipower_nasty_lost_pilots/
"This week's level is the same as a previous level form a while back just with Lost Pilots added in. Have also confirmed that Lost Pilots are working as intended. This tournament is more challenging but also you get Caulipower for free which helps.
From the Designer themselves, they were able to get a score of 1.6M last Friday when play testing which is higher than average in terms of score potential. Lower end of the range was around 1.2-1.3 M.
They ran with a Caulipower, Imitated Caulipower, Primal Sunflower, Goldbloom, Hurrikale and EoN, all at level 5. Plant Caulipowers as fast as possible, stick Explode-o-Nuts as far to the right as you can, use Hurrikales when possible to push non-hypnotized Lost Pilots away.
Obvs this is just an example lay out and strategy, and your mileage may vary. But no, it's not an cakewalk easy week, but not the hardest level that's ever been written up. But yes, the Lost Pilots are annoying but not impossible."
Low scores it is...I tried EON with dual Cauli/Witch Hazel and MoonFlower and the first attempt was >780k
Only used Hurikale once so might consider a different plant. Turning Gargantuars is crucial but maybe Electrici-tea and Filamint in place of Hurikale and the second CAULI (but use PF on Cauli to add extras)
This was first attempt. Bit of placement bungles.
@HenryThePear LB wasn’t good for me. 890k top.
Lunch break almost over, had 1 go for Shadow Pea. 1.5mil. I’m sure if you tweak it can go higher.
Power or Fantastix will probably come up with an awesome strat!
🙂
@RogueYumei I used the hurrikale
on lost pilots and sometimes my shadow pea could swallow the zombies at ease! 🙂
Ok,1,3 mil. Seriously with this layout, i do not know what to use plant food on :/
Here's @FantastiXxPVZ link:
Highest no-Mint score I got so far. Average is ~1.3M (Jade League). The key to get high scores in this tournament is that you have to use both of your hands. Put your left hand and your right hand together, fold them, and pray to RNGod 🙂
@PowerToss how is this for RNG 🤔 I ranged from 1.3mil to below picture score lol.

Very nice score, BTW 🙂

@PowerTossty ty!!! Maybe I get a twirl with the Smugpants for mid-level plants? heehehe I am sure I will be dethroned soon enough :D
Sure! Wear them with pride!
Fantastix L3 plants should work enough even if you do not have Conceal-mint...
I am seeing very few players scoring above 500k; never mind 1M !
Today the scores are getting higher - two opps were just below 800k
Tigerol from sub Reddit has posted a level1 F2P plant selection without mints and managed to get over 800K (link below). My guess is if you use Enlighten-mint and or Spear-mint to replace the beans and carrots and with mid level plants, you should be able to get a decent score to win 8 games. (I will give it a try later today if time permits)

Tigerol's F2P is so cool. I am going to try it out as Level 1 just for kicks! The few times I will attempt Level 1 over the next few days...
