Re: Level 1 mini forum.

Great.  Level 1 with 1M score should hold up well.

Level 1 dual PPM with Explode O'Nut reached >250k for a first try

Level 1 dual PPM with Walnut reached >170k for a first try, >250k for best score so far\

I started with a column of Bowling Bulbs and a three MoonFlowers which does not lead to quick Zombie kills so less Bowling Bulbs and more MoonFlowers to begin...revised screenshot for starting layout shown down below, score improved 50% !

High Mastery dual PPM with Explode O'Nut reached >3.1M for a first try

High Mastery dual PPM with Walnut reached >3.72M for a first try

I tried many different strats and highest I could get with F2P was 1.4 Million Moonflower, Winter Melon, Primal Potato Mine, Tile Turnip, Bombard-mint. I'll post a vid on it later, but might be at Level 3. I couldn't beat this.

Hopefully, you can use something in your own strats.

@FantastiXxPVZ  Good job breaking 2M! I don't like these Caulipower tournaments and I'm glad it only last 3 days  :D

3 days to Boosterama !

I have reached 804k with MagicDave's Level 1 plant selection in Gold league.

Screenshots for my best efforts so far

716k - Shadow Pea, Conceal-mint, Bombard-mint, Explode O'Nut

753k - dual Caulipower, Bowling Bulb, Explode O'Nut

edit update:  just reached 940k with dual Caulipower, Bowling Bulb, Explode O'Nut

@FantastiXxPVZ  

A very well use of Caulipowers -- normally they shine on Battlez when there are lots of big gargs around, but this one has none!

I think F2P (instant-kills) will do ok with this Battlez but would not stand a chance with player who know how to get the best of out of the premium plants.

I look forward to see you F2P strategy.

I think I'm going to stick to my practice F2P (Seedium, Mint) strategy. You can break 1M with it but a lot of digging up and re-planting is involved. You need to make sure that a Shadow Pea is behind a tombstone and try to pick out the "candies" with Toadstools. The double Exploder Nut seems to be the better option if you have it. 

I'm going to try a F2P (no Seedium) with Tile Turnip and PPMs later.

Edit: No Seedium second try.

Here is my Let's Rock Level 1 initial layout

(even more plants to begin with for Mastery profile)

Dual caulipower got me almost 1.5m, usually around 1m. 

I am now top of my bronze league having got my level 1 enlightenmint, finished playing level 1 to grind two L5 enlightenmints in my other profiles.

BOREDOM TO MEEEEE!!!!!!🇬🇧

EDIT:  Just lost my first level 1 match in 91 tournaments. 

Smugpants are back in fashion.

You looked shocked; not bored !  Great work smugpants.

Keep your fingers out of the electric sockets and you might not be so bug eyed !

Good luck on the L5 grind.  I am L4 already...

I'm trying to get my second profile to level 5 F2P plants. I feel like that's going to take a year to get there. I was able to upgrade my sun production plants due to last weeks tournament. But in this weeks tournament all you get in the second Pinata are freaking Toadstool seeds. At least I haven't gotten anything else, have you? Should be a good week if you want to upgrade your frog.

I thought it was Pinata #5 that provided me with Toadstool seed packets.   60 in total being back in Gold League.

Keep collecting GEMs when you can and save them to go to Jade League for 260 seed packet pinatas !

Zen Garden for coin farming.  World Pinata Tracker twice daily of course in the world of your choice.  I spent  few months at Pirate Seas and now I am spending a few more months at Ancient Egypt.  For both profiles.

Before BattleZ existed I had all my Modern Day plants at Level 7 in two profiles and Level 5 in a third profile.

Patience and you will get there.  Enjoy the game in the moment.

Do you have a second device you can use ?

Yes, I meant the second Pinata in the streak (#5). Thank you for the tips. Buying Pinatas for gems seems to be the best option to level up plants. I'm doing the daily Insanity Quests but I stopped with the World Pinata Tracker...3 or for 4 seeds for a plant is so little when you need 400 for level 5. It is so frustrating to see the level bar increase by a tiny bit.

I am enjoying the game a lot but being patient isn't my strongest ability 😉 I don't have a second device I play PvZ 2 on.

This game is great for Brain Training rather than paying for CBT programs !

I play to work on my patience, strategy, hand eye coordination, and working on short term and long term goals !!

World Pinata tracker seems very slow but it does add up...

I only have a second device because a screen was slightly cracked and could not be used for replacement.

I felt your pain, as I have gotten 2 mints to L5 and 1 to L3, and 1 Level 1. It was a real grind 😆

Haha 🙂 I'm glad I only need to get one L1 and one L5. But I'm waiting for the Boosterama to grind a little more even though I'm starting to get the timing right on the mints:

How did you time this? Nice Score!

Awesome.  Just under 1.5M

Ho hum, I barely won a Gold League match and managed to break 1M with Level 1 plants.  Dual Cauli, Explode O'Nut, and Bombard-mint

---

@FantastiXxPVZ wrote:

Here is what I do:

1. Start with 6 Moonflowers, 5 Shadow Pea, and 5-6 Mines in the most right column

2. Try to replace a mine as soon as it is charged

3. Use Conceal-Mint at first necromancy and then whenever it is ready

4. Use Bombard-Mint when PPM recharged and directly plant a PPM in the most right column (middle)

5. Use Plant Food on Bombard-Mint whenever PPM recharged and repeat step 4

6. During the last seconds you should have one last PPM, try to find a spot to plant it and hope it explodes 🙂

Edit: When you find a good spot for a PPM plant it without using Bombard-Mint beforehand. Than you have a Bombard-Mint PPM combo for the last seconds!

I couldn't reproduce the 1.4M score within 12 games but I got 1.2M and 1.3M. You need to make sure that no plant gets eaten. Occasionally plant Toadstool to pick out some zombies (yellow zone). I think the round has to start with buckethead zombies...the ice block pushing guys are just to slow. The 1.4M might be a game with a RNG you get once in every 50 games.

@FantastiXxPVZ @PowerToss @MAGICDAVESHROOM 

I currently running 6 active profiles, so for me this will be 2x L1, 1x level 3, and 3x level 5 enlighten-mints to get.  so my next three weekends are fully booked.

Just a small improvement: I started to not plant SP at the beginning. It makes the early game too slow. Instead I plant more mines and try to trigger necromancy by killing the zombies early with Toadstool if there is no mine. In addition, try to save the last Bombard-Mint PPM combo for the final seconds.

I've also noticed that sometimes MoonFlowers give SUN at the start and other times it can take 5 or 10 seconds before there is any SUN...

Or even longer, i once planted a concealmint and 5 moonflowers gave off no sun until concealmint had gone.

Yeah, same for me! Moon Flowers are not that reliable 🙂

I haven't figured out what exactly trigger necromancy. Sometime it comes super early and sometime it takes forever. I just plant Toadstool in front of one of the "early" zombies and hope it gets triggered.

There had been sun production issue a while back and it was fixed, maybe the recent introduction of the BS plant -- Enlighten-mint breaks it again.  I too experienced your issue.

Heavy heavy sigh.

So the best chance for the highest scores is most likely when SUN is produced ASAP...otherwise expect to just play out the match.
