Re: HIGH LEVEL-NON MASTERY MINI FORUM.

@HenryThePearI squeezed out every bit of gems that I hoarded (rather than spend on pinatas) after I heard that they will be bringing it back but unknown when in Reddit. I've been managing to stay in Jade league with my non-mastery plants, so nice gem rewards coming 1st :D and succumbed to purchasing a bit more gems just to get it to level 8. I skipped getting the Goo Peashooter. Split Pea only level 1 as I was on the bench whether I wanted to get it or not hehe. Snap was just a had to get since it so much fun seeing it lob zombie heads back at the zombies 😉

Also when I don't get as much time to play, I usually play on that last day of the 3 day short matches and try to stay on the top which isn't too hard ^^

I remember the Wasabi whip tournament and it actually wasn't bad with the right strategy 🙂 I know you could not compete with mastery but the score was enough to hold up well

@PowerTosssap fling tournament is great
,here is my best score

This week is fairly horrible, I'm using my non mastery high level plants to get goopy levelled up and whatever strategy i come up with i end up using reinforcemint/ blover to stop my plants being overrun.

Best score 3.6m primal peashooter, 2x power Lily, blover and reinforcemint.

Can't seem to find a consistent 2.5m+ strategy.

I have only managed to kill cardio zombie once since all the best plants have been nerfed.

What league are you in this week? Because I managed to kill two cardio zombies with level 1 plants in jade league and ended up with an amazing score of 800k^^

I feel you should be able to kill at least one cardio zombie with a couple of (boosted) Squashes. There is a lot of RNG in this weeks tournament. Took me over 30 matches to get the right RNG to score 4M+.

Awesome.  Shame to have to lose with 4.1M but it will happen; even to the best players !!

You are doing really awesome so keep up the good work.

@PowerTossI could kill Cardio Zombie only in practice with Squash (lv 5) but not in Jade League.

I got him twice in Jade League with these level 1 plants: Magnifying Grass, Fila-Mint, Bombard-Mint, x2 Larva Guava. But the score was horrible...low/mid level plants are better off to just ignore him 🙂 I just wanted to know if I could kill him^^

@PowerTossGood stuff!!! I'll pass on trying to get him, I had 3 Squash on him, but no good. Ah well, will keep Blovering the rest of the zombies.
@lawmfwthanks for your kind words, guess sometimes Arena likes to throw a curve ball now and then.

Practice match zombies are possibly soil league, weaker and worth less points.

If you want an accurate practice score you have to wait until the new tournament starts and the algorithm knows which league you are in to give you a more accurate score.

You can still play around with the infinite practices glitch in the meantime.

Remember to enter Arena first before you enter the practice matches 🙂 This always seems to work for me. But I have to agree with @MAGICDAVESHROOM...we will see the "true score" as soon as the tournament starts.

@PowerTossI did, but it's weird I can still kill Cardio Zombie in Practice after I've been playing in Jade League.

Yes, that's weird...but a lot of people complain that the practice matches are bugged. I've never had a problem, though. 

For me it's like that: I have to enter Arena, then enter Adventure mode and play the practice matches in the Travel Log. If I force close PvZ2 and enter Practice without prior entering Arena the Cardio Zombie is way too weak. So everytime I shut down my phone or force close the app I have to enter Arena first. 

Edit: But in the Boosterama you can kill the Cardio twice with Squash and PPM. I have to use 1 Plant Food to recharge PPM for the first one and the remaining PFs for the second one. I also put one Goo Peashooter to slow him down and a couple PPS in the middle row.
