Re: Level 1 mini forum.
You are both doing terrific. I keep trying the Blover technique but just not getting the hang of it this time...
Forum Discussion
I was thinking about trying to get 2M but I'm not having much fun this tournament. To me it looks like they wanted to create a tournament with all the bugs in it (Portal on C1, Bulls doing weird stuff, Chard Guard not working when Z-Mech teleports a zombie on it etc...).
So the 1.8M is going to be my max score. In case you are still playing with your level 1 profiles and you use @FantastiXxPVZ strategy: The key for high scores is to get Chard Guard(s) on the most right column asap and then use the Blover-Reinforcemint-Blover combo to blow away the next huge wave of zombies with Chard Guard's Plant Food effect.
I think for the high scores in the Boosterama we will have to use the same strategy ☹️ I have not found a way to kill Z-Mech AND the zombies. But at least it's way easier to pull off and scores of 2M+ are not that hard to achieve.
Another strategy I tried was: PPM, Sun Bean, Primal Peashooter, Blover, Reinforcement. It's kind of fun to play, easy to execute, and scores are not that bad (~1.3M).

Fun? You're not here to have Fun, you're here to grind until your fingers drop off😱
Week 70 - Boosterama
Certainly easier and definitely more fun boosted. Double Chardgard might shine here too.

@FantastiXxPVZ really nice score and video! Is there any reason why you put the second row of Chard Guards at C1? To deal with the portals? Because I used to put them at C5 and deal with the portals with Sun Bean. Gotta try putting them at C1 maybe that's better 🙂
Edit: I think we can achieve 3M! Might go for it on Sunday 🙂

I like to do that because I like to have the chardgard cooldown available to me. I do use Sunbean if Chardgard isnt ready though
I'll give Boosterama a whirl this weekend as well. Played a few matches today as my bottom dwelling Leaderboard mates have played a bit themselves and left some wiggle room to still stay in the bottom three but allow me to play a half a dozen Level 1 matches. The dev did a bang up job putting together a terrifying event.
Mission accomplished! 🙂
BUT F*CK THOSE PORTALS ON C1! I was about to throw my phone a couple of times...having a good run and then a portal opens on C1! Still don't know what triggers this.
Congratulations. The random behavior is what drives me bonkers !!
Is there any warning that Far Future Imps are about to be dropped ?

No warning. You can see it from the animation of Z-Mech. But since you are "spamming" double Blover anyway the imps should not be a factor. A few imps might slip through because the blowing is not continuously with level 1 plants.
Did you drop down to Gold League? Is the second Z-Mech phase destroy-able in Gold League with L1 plants?
What league are you in? It seems to me the league level for this battlez plays a significant factor into scores and ability to destory z-mech, etc.

I'm in Jade League and you are correct...the league plays a significant role this tournament. I was not able to beat the second Z-Mech with level 1 plants. However, he is easy to kill with level 3 plants.
I'm in gold and i did manage to kill z-mech twice for a score of 1.9m, basically by only using explosive plants. 2x ppm, eon, gs, bombardmint.
Good job! Would like to test it in Jade League but I don't have GS and EoN :/
Squash or Cherry Bomb don't work.
I was also able to vanquish the first two Z-Mechs in Gold League and will need to Practice more to get a shot at all three !
Best score >2.4M (twice now in Practice Room) and I did not even get all three Z-Mechs ! Came close I think...
Update: I vanquished all three Z-Mechs ! 2.431M score Squash, EON, dual PPM, Bombard-mint

Nicely done! 🙂 I think you can achieve scores of 2.8M+ if you vanquish him three times and somehow get a little lucky with the PPMs. I got 2.6M with level 3 plants: PPM, Sun Bean, Squash, Bombardmint, and Bowling Bulb and I only vanquished the Z-Mech twice.
I like the x10 Pinata you get at your 7th win. It finally feels like I am making some progress in getting my second profile to L5 plants.
How many profiles do you have ?
It does take time to get the plants to Level 5 and beyond.
I have two profiles. The L1 profile and a second one that I'm trying to make a L5 profile. Most of the plants are level 3 as of now but I was able to upgrade some of them to level 4 during this tournament. I won't upgrade my plants to a higher level than five because I feel like that would take years in the current streak system + with a good strategy L5 plants can compete against much higher leveled plants 🙂

It took me years with the old system. 2+ years to get to Max Level and I didn't know I was banking seeds. When Mastery came out most of my plants were already M100+. Then it took me about a 6 months to reach max level on most plants with Battlez Streaks and that's when I decided to level my other profiles to certain levels using Battlez Streak to level and claim Jade League rewards on them. Some of my plants on my Main are still not Maxed, too, including the recent ones we were allowed to get to Level 5. For Zoybean Pod, I was able to get to high Mastery, because the streak counter was bugged and I could keep playing to seeds, reset my game and repeat. This was patched when Daisy Chain came out.
I wish I were active during the old streak system. 3-4 years to max out your plants (mastery) sound like a reasonable time frame to me. But in the new streak system I am short on everything: Coins, Seeds, Mints. To unlock one power mint and get it to level 5 you need 850 mints. So you need 11,050 mints to get all 13 mints to level 5. Right now I have 400 mints...long way to go ^^
But I am pretty positive that EA will increase the rewards in the near future. If people feel that they are not making any progress in the game, they will stop playing it 😉
Most of the mints are not worth any upgrade from level 1....about half in fact.
Modern Day at Level 7 is a good goal and Level 6 should only take a few months of playing Modern Day World Pinata Tracker twice daily (with 5 slots) to reach that goal (Level 6). Then 3-4 months for Level 7. Without using GEMs. Even faster if you have two devices.
I have done it (Modern Day to level 7) a few times already over the years. Before BattleZ.
It is a shame that resources can not be shared across profiles...I was doing the same as you Fantastix, putting League winnings into my Level 1 profile to build up GEMs and Mints...
My best Solar Tomato Boosterama results so far...
dual Primal Potato Mine, Explode O'Nut, and Bombard-mint are crucial
I have tried Squash, Jalapeno, Cherry Bomb, Grape Shot, and Escape Root as the sixth plant and reached >2.3M with Grape Shot, Escape Root, and Jalapeno
I think we are screwed^^
All I do is get a lot of sun and keep re-planting...
I managed 3m with my mighty level 1 army.
VICTORY TO MEEEEE!!!!!!🇬🇧
