Re: Level 1 mini forum.

@PowerToss - awesome to break 2M !  Hurray.

Tombstones are wreaking havoc (especially near the end) no matter how you try to plan open space.  Crafty devs.

@RogueYumei HAHAHAHA! I don't know yet...maybe the other level 1 plant guys will score higher. But I'm definitely gonna wear them until then! 🙂 

@lawmfw Yeah, I know what you mean. Tombstones are very annoying, this is why I plant three empty BVs in the back. It reduces the firepower because you have less Pea-nuts but at least a tombstone or potion won't mess up your gameplay.

You will get some rewards for 6/7th place but still be in Jade League next week !

The main reward for 6th or 7th in jade is 8 mints in each.

I'm going to take 1st in silver which has 80 mints, 165 gems and 5,400 coins.

Wow, what a plant  /s...

I hope we can find a different strategy. Shadow Peas slows down the zombies which is not too good but I think you need it to be save against Pilot Zombies and Jetpack Zombies.

try Hurikale instead for protection when needed ?

Good idea. I'll give it a try. 

I tested Hurrikale but the recharge is just not fast enough to protect multiple rows ☹️

I tried different strategies but since Blover is banned this was the best level 1 plants strategy I could find (maybe a Witch Hazel/White Broccoli strat can score higher). It is all about RNG, though. That being said...I was able to score over 2M in my best practice match.

Week 77 - White Broccoli - Practice

I'll give Cauli/Witch Hazel a try and let you know tomorrow.

Perhaps Toadstool ?

Caulipower tournament is so nuts,bombard is nerfed, i need an F2P strategy.

Or else i will sit out next 3 days.

@lawmfw I think Toadstool could work if you are able to plant them in the yellow zone...otherwise TS pulls them in a lower scoring zone :/

@HenryThePear Try a similar to mine but with Sqaush/Hurrikale instead of imitator against the Jetpacks. Use all your Plant Food to recharge Caulipower right at the start (when you have the suns for it). 

@HenryThePear Doesn't really matter that much...a Garg hypnotized by a level1 Caulipower is as good as a Garg hypnotized by a level 10 Cauli.

@PowerToss  Any luck with Grimrose powered by MF? Still haven't had a chance to try yet.

@RogueYumei Good idea. Grimrose might work. But I'm out of practice matches...after 20+ matches I got too frustrated and just picked up the Mints for completing the practice matches. This plant which shape indicates that it has a BIG BRAIN hypnotizes a basic zombie even though there are 5 Gargs on the lawn.

EDIT: Oh I looked up the fandom page...the chance to hypnotize a Garg is only 5% at level 1 whereas the change to hypnotize a basic zombie is 55%. I didn't know that :/

I do not have Enchant-mint in my Level 1 profile either.  I have yet to break 1M with Cauli/Witch Hazel but most likely due to not having Enchant-mint.  L1 Hurikale was working OK to fend off Jetpacks.

L1 Laser Bean and Apple Mortar also not reaching 1M score...need faster way to clear waves so will investigate explosive plants along with Bombard-mint and Conceal-mint.

Might be a good three days to rest afterall !!

I don't know how good Bombard-mint family plants work this tournament because they are bruised. EA really wants us to use Caulipower^^

Caulipower will hypnotise gargs but they are low priority so you need to clear the lower scoring ones away.

That is a very good suggestion MagicDave.  It works but I just wish it was simple to do so !!

First foray into Arena was just under 1M score !!   Silver League

(added >600k in the final 53 seconds)

Sap Fling scored 673k for a first try
