Penny's Pursuit
Here a link on everything you need to know about Penny's Pursuit. Luckily, the Perks are reset every week, so we don't have to keep them at level 1 for our level 1 profile. https://www.ea.com/games/...

You'll probably use pyre vine more.
A word of warning, if you're using low level plants against zomboss don't be tempted to start stacking up Ultomato, lava drips and zomboss rushes destroy a lot of plants.
There aren't any beghouled levels in this pursuit.
If you can get pyre vine to level 6 there is a cost reduction to 75 sun instead of 100.
I have also seen a few pyre vine seed pinatas (5s) given as bonus seeds with BWB 100 gem seed packets, this is the first time I've seen seediums given out as bonus seeds.
What strategy are people using for Zomboss?
I haven't been too succesfull 😛
@HypnoDjurre I'm using this strategy on my level 5 profile. Bass Blast Perk is awesome in combination with Blover. I just have to get used to spamming it a bit more.
@Perfume-shroom92 It is annoying but only because all three plants are locked...so you only have 4 empty slots which limits the strategies you can use :/ Jester being in the Zomboss fight doesn't really help. But no worries it should be way easier on mild difficulty to get Pyre Vine seeds 🙂
I used this setup on one chili with my level 1 profile and i won all three times, I'm about to try it on two chilis because i just need 5 blastberry vine seeds to unlock it, already unlocked L1 pyre vine last night.
Thanks, that works but not with Bass Blast
Only had 7s left when I defeated Zomboss
(It's only lvl1 or 2)
With Boss Buster I had 1.30m left

Ah thanks for the info. Replacing Blover with Reinforce-mint and using the Boss Buster Perk could be better! Gonna try that tomorrow.
That's a nice Idea, I was using enchantmint
Reinforcing all Pumpkins could be better, gonna try that tomorrow too!

A newbie question from someone who only recently got Caulipower. Does CP attack Zomboss? (If yes) does it have a good damage on Zomboss? Also, does it prioritize Zomboss over the zombies or attack just as randomly?
Caulipower doesn't attack zomboss, cardios, z mechs or healers but i use it against the zombies that zomboss creates, which either attack each other, attack zomboss or tombstones so they stay in c8, c9 instead of treading on potions and marching on through my plants.
Don't like this Penny's event. I can get through most of the levels on spicy difficulty with level 5 plants but there are so many level where I can't choose my plant and I feel like it is impossible to beat them.
Burned through my free Power Ups and now I have to farm them again to not waste coins.
On the bright side, my Ultomato is shiny now.
My poor old onesies didn't have too much trouble on one chili, but two chilis was way too hard and i had to chuck frozen snowballs and zap it repeatedly, all for 15x blastberry seeds.
How many gems are you getting from battling Zomboss?
I'm averaging about 3, today I got 8 Total
Any good strategies out there?
@HypnoDjurre It's not a good Zomboss to farm gems. I played him on extra spicy the last week hoping that seeds will change this week (to x20 BV or PV) but since they haven't I play him on easy difficulty now. I get ~5 gems with the Pokra Pumpkin strategy. I use all of my PF on Spearmint early to get the Zomboss down.
I use a variation of your strategy just using the sunbank perk that usually gets me a few gems.
I use bombardmint instead of spearmint, as many pumpkins as i can afford, fill c6 with pokra/ pumpkins and 4x ultomatos/ pumpkins as sun allows.
This is my mid range profile.
Unfortunately i don't have pumpkin in my level 1 profile.
@MAGICDAVESHROOM Nice. Will give it a try and use the sunbank perk. I'm always short on sun to plant Ultomato.
The sun for ultomato comes from the big tombstones, if you get r3 filled with pumpkins early you won't have to plant pokra on it.
This is what the usual start looks like, ignore the levels i forgot to take a starting screenshot.
