Re: HINTS AND TIPS

Me too- when i play the pinata tracker I'm currently trying to boost far future (50 seeds away from a level 10 blover!) and all i need is blover or slingpea and spearmint.

Pirate Seas Day 22 is a challenge with just Imp cannons and Swashbucklers - very quick and easy if you are playing Pirate Seas to collect seed packets

I use either Hot Date or Sweet Potato to move the zombies into just two rows...

Pick your favorite or strongest plant to line up two or three behind the Hot Date or Sweet Potato

I use Blover but take care to not run out of SUN

Tile Turnips are another option

Jalapeno can also be useful for the Final Wave if you still have Plant Food 

Coins are plentiful

EDIT/Addition:

Pirate Seas Day 31 can be a real quick day top complete - with TURBO and RELOAD feature I can be finished in 35 seconds and complete the 5 World Pinata Tracker in less than 3 minutes

Place a nut to the far right and your strongest plant to the far left and take care to save enough SUN for Blover !

FAR Future Day 7 - lots of sprouts for ZEN Garden

Squash can be combined with Hurrikale to kill many zombies at once.  Thyme Warp can also be used in place of Hurikale.

For last Wave, have Squash ready on the lawn (if possible) and one ready to be planted, have a Plant Food or two available as well.

Put Hurikale in the row with the nastiest Zombies and push all the Zombies to the far right...then put down Squash on the lawn to the far right one square to the left of all the Zombies and whammo !!

Jurassic Marsh dinosaurs will not interact with Zombies if the Zombies can not get past column 9 (far right)

Use a nut to keep the Zombies off the lawn !

Always level up your plants in the almanac, there's a chance upgrading elsewhere may cause a streak crash.

So never upgrade when selecting a plant to put on a lawn ?

I know I have done this rarely but will make sure to never do it again !!

I saw a post on reddit who thinks he  lost his streak from not levelling up in the almanac so why take a chance?😳

So many chances...my game is crashing randomly and so far I have not lost anything because of it

Do you have Hot Date and Explode O'Nut  ?

The Hot Date and Explode O'Nut combination can be very effective with the nut placed to the right of Hot Date.

Gives more time for SUN production and to add offensive plants to the far left of Hot Date. 

I am using this combo with level 1 plants and so far doing very well.

If you have the necessary 250 seeds to unlock a plant purchased with seeds (seedium) then it may be possible to upgrade it to level 5 without buying more seeds.
Buy it, unlock it then leave the game without doing anything else then go straight back to it.
If you're lucky the plant is unlocked and the 250 seeds are still available to level it up to level 5.
This seems to work on all "seedium" plants, from my own experience it works half the time (i have 3 profiles) but you only get one attempt.
This is a longstanding glitch and EA may have fixed it so it no longer does it.

EDIT: Sadly no longer works as EA patched it.

Conceal-mint - terrific for Final Wave - place once the first zombies are on the lawn !!

Something i just found out- if you are in the almanac then tap on the tick box✅ in family and the plant damage will show the boosted damage.

Plant Food damage ?

Not plant food damage but boosted damage.

Try it.

Don't upgrade a plant off the plant selection screen in battlez as there is a possibility of a crash leading to streak loss. 👍

Mastery damage, gotcha.

If you can't find the daily pinata tracker try playing the pinata party🎉 as it usually pops up after the pinata party🎉.

Please, what is 'gem tax'? Have googled but only come up with the advice to ante up... so much to learn!!!!! 🤓

The gem tax refers to the old streak system where a player Usually wins the first 9 matches, the 10th is harder and the 11th impossible.

EA consistently denied using streak killing bots to cause this but every time this happens then you either had to pay gems to continue or lose your streak.

Got it. I paid it this morning to a player who had M51 plants.

You are doing very well if it took an M51 plant to stop your win streak.

Battlez:-

This might not work for everyone: but me being a bit of a chicken****, I don't look to see the score until the game finishes. I find it helps me to be calmer and make the right choices.

Also, even if it looks like you're losing, don't surrender. I've had numerous games where a crucial move in the last 10 seconds won it for me.

PS It would be nice, as a Utd supporter, if I could pick the red glove for myself.

Cheeky!

And you don't know which Utd I refer to!  (Hint: it ain't vermin 😉)

Another thing, a couple of times when I've turned on the game, Travel Log doesn't refresh for new 2 Battlez for playing 2, etc, even though I enter and exit 3 or 4 times. I've found if I click on each tab in order, it refreshes faster.

(Even for Utd supporters who support the wrong Utd. I'm thinking white rose now 😉)
