Re: Level 1 mini forum.

@PowerToss 

That video was a bit of a letdown

I was counting how many knockbacks there would be

1

2

3

Funny that you collected the sun

Sometimes it happens while watching a pvz2 video that I also try to tap the falling sun :D

The video stopped .............

I feel incomplete now 

@PowerToss  Yes I have replicated what you are seeing and on 2 different worlds. Far future and Lost City.

If CG is planted without Reinforcemint active, it only flicks (leaf pushes) the zombie three times.

If CG is planted with Reinforcemint active, it flicks 9 times.

Edit: adding information.

@HypnoDjurre Hahaha. I stopped recording because a level 1 CG only has three leaf pushes and the leafs don't regenerate.

@eieio_31310 Thanks for the conformation! They must have really weird testing devices! This also works with Bombard-mint and PPM. Even if Bombard-mint isn't active anymore the PPM will still be a level 10 PPM (killing Zombies on the entire column).

Edit: Here in addition a video that showcases what happen if you plant the CG "too fast" and the PF effect is activated. It won't be a level 10 CG. https://streamable.com/96hod5 

Hopefully this score is high enough for the ducks. 

Here is a video showcasing the strategy: https://streamable.com/4prycz 

There are two very sneaky secrets to be able to score this high:

• Take a heavy penalty by letting a SV get killed at the start
• Launch a lawn mower to get another penalty

Otherwise Zombies will be too tough and you won't get into the PF phase. The ZDL goes up quite fast again. Once you are set up the first Garg is already work 90k points again. Three TTs go on BB and two on IP. The rest is RNG.

@PowerToss 

Are you Quackers?

The Ducks are still waiting for you to collect your last Smugprize.

A big thumbs up to @PowerToss 

I know for sure that to work out those 'secret' steps, one needs to have a very deep understanding of the game and its operating mechanic, this knowledge does not come naturally and most certainly not overnight, it needs months if not years of appreciation and practice with the game. 

For this I would raise my hand to salute you and thank you for sharing your findings.

It's a little bit easier to kill the Cardio three times with the new plant.

Week 117 - Pokra

@HenryThePear Laserbean works, too. I feel like it is a bit easier to kill the Cardio three times with DC, though. Do you not have DC unlocked?!

I have yet to kill Cardio with DC or LB !!  

@PowerToss do you have a video for this weak strategy?

The difficult part is to get into the PF phase. This requires some precise Spear-mint timing and luck 😉

@PowerToss  Awesome game-play with impeccable timing, I guess you have squeezed virtually every ounce of the spear-mint family plant's performance in this video.

I take it when you say 'luck' it refers to the RNG of the zombies appearing and tombstone placement?

I have had a few attempts with Bowling Bulb, Tile Turnip and Shine Vine but got less than half of you best score, will use your strategy to play a few rounds tonight and see if I can get a few 7 win-streaks.

@PowerTossI thought it is better to put spear mint under the cardio?

I think it is best to plant it on C9/R3 to prevent a tombstones from raising on that tile. However, Gargs spawning on R3 won't get stalled anymore. I also need the tiles under Cardio to plant EoN. It probably doesn't matter where you plant it^^

Thanks.

Yep it's mostly tombstone RNG. You can improve your chances to destroy the tombstone with good Spearmint timing but sometimes they disappear right before you destroy them. In most games I can defeat the Cardio three times but for scores of 4M+ you also need the points for killing the Zombies. 

Gavebuster is a little bit more reliable but you need Spear-mint to be active the whole time when the third Cardio shows up. Also you need to be fast when using Gravebuster to get the PFs.

Edit: I'd probably replace GB with Power Lilly if I had it.

I'm sure the Boosterama will be way easier 🙂

@PowerToss  tyvm

video was quite helpful - improved my best score to 2.6M on my J7 device and over 2.6M on my S4 device - have defeated multiple opps using L6 BB and one close win over an opp using BB and a Reinforcemint strategy

avg score is well below 2M

2.894M on my S4 device and 2.366 on my S7 device for new high scores

Boosterama - replace DT with IP and same initial setup...best Practice score 4.388M with my S4 device but close to or just above 4M with S7 and J7 devices.

I'm using this strategy. Took quite a few attempts to break 7M. Boosted Spikerocks are so annoying!
