Re: HIGH LEVEL-NON MASTERY MINI FORUM.

Hmmm....dislike the randomly appearing graves......

Have been busy with work so I will be joining the tournament late this week.

I tried combining Appeasemint plants with Imp Pear and Tile Turnip, this is the best I got out of 5 practices, it averages around 24.5M.

@eieio_31310 Thanks for sharing. I got similar score to the appease-mint, stickybomb rice setup.

@ImNoob2009Nice score to you too. 

I think Sticky Bomb Rice is better for high mastery plants as it avoids killing the zombies too quickly (and causes ZDL drops).  I will be using it on my mastery profiles and see if I can break 30M later in the week.

Finally made it into the 30m club only to find that  @eieio_31310. has once again scoffed all the jaffa cakes that should rightfully be mine.

I have never seen the game move so slowly, there were so many blue pEAs of death flying around.

@MAGICDAVESHROOM Congrats. I have to try more 😀, but I have lagging issue too.

Week 225 Chomper Tournament.

I have a few practices using Long Vu's strategy but after 5 games the best I get is still below 3M. There are plenty of rooms for fine tuning. 

This tournament is one of those where you cannot kill the zombies too quickly because gaps without zombies to kill will cause ZDL to drop, and at the same time, not too slowly because you will be running out of time to get a decent score. 

Edit.  corrected mistypes.

After fine tuning, it is now quite easy to break 3M consistently.

@eieio_31310 Great score. I still can't break 3m using that strat. In a lucky case, I got this score by tuning kGame's layout.

Thanks @ImNoob2009 .  Nice Score to you too.  

There is a balance on zombie killing power for this tournament, the best I have seen so far will get over 3.4M (TheMaruMari).  Sadly both of ours are only reaching 3.1M+.  Will give it another attempt tonight and see if I can break 3.2M or higher.

@HenryThePear   High mastery requires different strategy as the plants are way over power and kill the zombies too quickly, this creates lots of 'no zombie' gaps thus resulting ZDL drops. 

I am literally only planting one row of torchwood and 3 pea...and with my level 7 plants, its demolishing everything so i score below 3 million...... still have yet to go over that... sigh....

@Perfume-shroom92   You can try replacing the Threepeater with something less powerful or try not putting Pea Vine on the Torchwood but with an extra column of pea Vine instead, anyway, I am sure you can find the ideal balance to your level 7 plants and break 3M barrier before the tournament ends.

I tried and failed to break 3.4M pre-boosterama but with the additional power, this is now achieved.  👿

Week227 tournament. 

My level 8 plants have now joined the 50M club.

My level 8 profile has reached 1000 crowns and the best I have for this tournament is 52M. (Actually, with the new high score cap introduced recently to Jade league, I think 50M is almost a guarantee win)

In past, the maximum score cap was set at 20M, what this means is for almost 99% of the time the system managed to filter out recordings from players score which are above 20M.

This ensures scores from super easy to progressively difficult in the win streaks from 1 to 9 for all players.  (that is the reason if you lose a game and not paying gems to keep the streak, it is reset and you are back to a state where you will be matched against a super easy score again.

The table below was produced by a forum member from subreddit (EuphoricSeaweed) this helps to illustrate the differenced of the high score cap before and after the 9.5.1 update.

Hope this helps.

There is a link with more details for this table but I am currently away from UK and could not find it at the moment, will add this to below once I found it.

Week 228 tournament -  Mega Gatling Pea

8M club is open for business.  👿

Week 229 pre-boosterama  Pea Vine Tournament

This is an Appeasemint week and half of the setup has been done for us, it is also one of those rare tournament where the featured plant is actually being used extensively on all strategies.  

I started with Bowling Bulbs but found sometimes I got overran towards the end so naturally I have to use a more powerful combo of Threepeater+Touchwood enhanced by Pea Vine.  Managed to get my L8 profile into the 16M club. 👿

Great score @Perfume-shroom92 .  

I believe you for I know 17M is possible with mid level plants. 

(in fact one of my old friend, a well respected long-time PVZ2 player, managed to break 18M with his M200 plants)

He might have but I have not seen his posting, this was from someone else used to host his high score on YouTube but had  taken along break from PVZ2 and has only returned recently.
