Re: Sharing your Battlez experiences

I found that out the hard way also in a previous week, that putting food on mines often means instead of moving a tile in front.... they may end up wayyyyyy to the back, even behind all your own plants at the back. Ughhhh.

The 6.9.1 update had given me many issues so I was playing the 'updating PVZ2 game' instead of battlez last weekend. 

Congratulations to all who made it to the highest score ever achieved this week, especially @Humplemann, at over 33M, this is hard to beat even with high level plants. 

I am still trying to get 10M with my level 1 plants....

A little preview of next week tournament:

1m30 instead of the regular 3 minutes.
Plant of the week = contain-mint (So even if players have upgraded it, they could really use it only one time per game ! 🥳 🥳 )
Setup: 1750 starting sun, lot of potions on the board, sun producing plants are allowed.

Blover is banned, but I guess we won't see Blover+chard combo anymore very often in Battlez.
Nothing to show which are the boosted plants, which one are nerfed, which one are totally useless with the Buffez and Bruisez...🥳
Main zombies: poncho zombies and jester zombies.

Jesters can be an issue to deal with... took me a few times before I found some ways in the Midevil age to do so--- freezing, walls, etc.

Maybe I will pick up a few new secret techniques from studying the after-game reports of my opponents.

LOL.  With the track record of Battlez, your opponent's secret techniques on plant selection may consist of: Cocomut Cannon, Winter Melon, Snapdragon, Intensive Carrot and peashooter....  👿

Buffed family this week: Contain-mint family
Nerfed family: none it seems
Nerfed plant: magnet-shroom, yes even if it belongs to contain-mint family, what a surprise..! 🥳

My take on this past week's tournament.

The zombies came out very random this week sometimes no Kings  appeared and no helmet zombies other times you get 2 or 3 kings and in some cases even 5 kings. Playing defense mode got you great score for up to 7 mil but if no kings or helmet zombies came out then I would only score 40-80K.

Playing offense I would score 700K - 3 mil which is actually more stable for getting a better streak . Currently leading the gold league buy 100 crowns I will keep a eye on the guy in second place the number 3 is down 300 crowns. For the guys that scored over 10 and 20 mil good going.

@badbee34  A valid point, a win with low score is still being counted as a win and a lost with a high score is still being counted as a lost. 

Do you mind share with us your plant selection and setup for a more stable strategy please?

No problem my plants are not high level but I try do the best with them. Here is my offense setup I still use the infinite nut and magnet shroom because it can get a extra few points and help protect my plants.

My defense setup was like this

@badbee34

Thanks for the insight, I like your plant selection & the offensive setup. 

I succeed to do my best score, 3m7 for the last game of this week tournament 🥳

Kinda sad, does not look like that 3rd and 4th are trying to sneek in higher rank in the last hour, it's always fun to watch that ☹️

For next tournament for thoses who have been on Jade League when it happened before, do the top 3 players usually have more crowns when the Battlez game last 1m30 instead of 3min or is it kinda always the same amount of crowns ?

It all depends how active the players in your group are.... You can win a jade league with 400 crowns or you can end up no 4 with 800 crowns . Regardless of 3:00 or 1:30 , but in the last 1 or 2 hours you can blow a lot of gauntlets if you racing for no 1 if the match is 1:30

Hum yes that what I'm afraid of.
I like to have 200 or more points than the 2nd so I know that even if he tries to take my 1st place at the end of the tournament, I would have things totally under control.
But with shorter games, than could be trickier..
Well I'll see how it goes.

So... I also have been burned the last 4 or so tournaments by the flurry of people setting their alarm clocks in order to do a last 2-3 hour gauntlet race to the finish and hoping to sneak-by. A couple tournaments ago, I even was just observing the list to watch them trying to knock each other out near the end.

In any case, THIS TIME I made sure to leave enough of a lead so that I could comfortably go to sleep, and DISCOURAGE any competitor from even attempting to pull that stunt again. Seems it worked, (ahah)!

Back to Jade we go again!

That’s me yesterday. I raced with the 1st one and scored ~ 200 crowns in the last 2 hrs and still finished in 2nd place. I lead almost all the week, but in the afternoon I was busy to check my scores, two other players passed me and I could only claime back the 2nd place. So watch out your rank carefully in the last day in Jade League.

Hands down this week's Battlez experience is the worst one yet.

I've been playing for about 2 hours now and really don't care much for it.

Half the field is filled with the size increasing formula...and then it takes almost 30 seconds for anything to really happen.

That just leaves about a minute of competition, and if you fall behind, there's little chance to catch up if you fall way behind.

I've already got 200 crowns and i found a good combo that usually works for me, except for every 9th and 10th which i mysteriously seem to lose. I think i might be having another of those weeks (toadstool and apple mortar) where i win except for the 9th,10th or 11th. Unless i pay the gem tax to continue my streak. I came 1st in jade last week with 598 crowns but this week i think i won't bother as I'm up against 2 very competitive players.

I was playing my 9th game.

248k vs 68k at 26s from the end
429k vs 294k 8s from the end
And of course
468k vs 562k at the end
My opponent won made 294 in 1min22 and 268k in the last 8s, sure... I don't see how you can do that much in such amount of time, even with plant food and ppm
Plus he was using double cauli, ppm, exploding nut and gold bloom lvl 6-7

Potential spoilers for next week Battlez, I dunno how legit it is, don't look at it if you wanna keep the surprise

Wasn't your 9th or 10th streak match by any chance? Of course it was. The 9th gets harder, you usually lose the 10 and definitely lose the 11th (unless you pay the gem"tax"). KER-CHINGGGG!!!!!

The 9th streak breaker is getting on my nerves also. Every game I would score 800k to 1.1 mil then on the 9th one I would miraculously score only 450-580K and loose to someone which score 500-600K every time. The sad thing is I won't mind loosing if the players are getting high scores than mine but the highest opponent score I have seen is 720K that's no where near my average score. It's if there is less zombies coming out . 

To answer the other dude about the score jumping up in last few seconds it's normal for me to make over 400K in last 10 or 12 seconds

The opponent had no bombardmint and even if pf was used with ppm, there is no way to make 400k in 8s, it would make lot of damage for sure but it would need A LOT of zombies to be there.
Or destroying 2-3 different waves of zombies with ppm..in 8s.
