Re: Should I save up my Gauntlets?

It's quite easy to be top of soil league, if you tap on the little "i" button you will see what the rewards are for coming first in each league.

As you climb up the leagues you will notice it gets harder because each zombies health is the same as the points you get for killing it and their attacking abilities increase as well.

The smarter players wait for tournaments that they do well in, go a long time between losses to conserve their gems and collect more gauntlets to increase their streaks, which is where the big rewards in mintz, gauntletz, coinz, and seedz are.

When you get to jade you will find it a bit of a nightmare, the toughest of zombies and streak killing bots (that don't exist, because EA says they don't) that make you lose around every 10th match.

300ish crowns would probably get you somewhere in the middle of the jade league table. At the time of writing this I'm 2nd with 520 crowns and number1 has 606 and it's only friday morning. My streak is about 430 so I'm on the 5x multiplyer and i don't give a toss about winning it, but i do want the x10 multiplyer back (lost it twice due to streak crashes) in time for the springening event.

    Hi man! Thanks for responding.  Many appreciates!

    You definitely taught me a lot!

    Although, you have not answered my specific question; Should I spend my gauntlets and keep fighting in Soil? Or save up gauntlets for the next league?

    P.S - Another question - Are the powered mint plants remain the same for each league? Or are they get replaced by time? How does this words?

    For example, now the powered mint are melee plants. I saw earlier that there were different mints powered.

    Btw, I got 98 candies, 2 candies away from getting the melee enforce-mint!

    All the knowledge you seek, grasshopper, is contained in the useful links thread.

    I think you might as well just play the free battlez and save the gauntletz for adz while keeping a wary eye on the opposition (they can become very active over the weekend).

    I'm not sure what your ps means, powermints have the same duration and powers in each league, as do your plants.

    If you are short on mints it might be better if you didn't get enforcemint and waited as i believe concealmint is the next powermint to be released (if they can find him!😁).

    You have a big league in Soil League so my suggestion is to limit your play to just the FREE play every 4 hours and conserve your Gauntlets whilst keeping an eye on your opps to be sure they do not try and overtake you this weekend.  Collect the FREE Gauntlets (and GEMs) every day (also play the Daily events for Gems). so you have Gems to buy more Gauntlets as your win streak grows.  You have to reach the x6 multiplier at 491 wins and then you will be winning enough Gauntlets to no longer have to purchase Gauntlets with Gems. 

    Collecting mints is a good idea as some are very useful.

    Do read the thread on useful links as there is a lot of good information to speed along your learning curve.

    Haha! Thanks.

    I meant, for now, in Soil league, I get a free built-in Enforce-Mint when I have to pick a squad for fight. 

    Does it stay like this forever?

    If so, does the mints change in the other leagues? 

    About the Conceal-Mint - you really think that it's better than the Enforce-Mint? Because I absolutely get nice kills with Wasabi whip, Kiwibeast and Parsnip. All three of em giving me a decent score?! Plus, my shadow plants suck. Still haven't gotten some of em, specially Shadow Peashooter. . .

  • Thanks for your reply!

    Im not playing in weekends (im a jew, I don't use electricity in saturday)

    But this applies only during Friday eve to Saturday eve, before daily reset.

    So I fo still have a few hours to finish the dailies.

    Hope the dude in 2nd place will not catch up to me.

    About the multiplier - Im on 50 atm. I didn't understand what do i get at 491.. 

    And will you recommend getting the Enforce-Mint? I got 106 mints to spend

    Ultimately it's up to you which powermints you collect, i don't have kiwibeast, wasabi whip or parsnip as i don't really like them.

    The only plant i have that it might come in useful for is bonk choy.

    Shadow peashooter won't be affected by concealmint but dusk lobber will, when powered by moonflower dusklobber/ moonflower is a powerfull combo that covers 3 lanes and generates sun🌞.(is best on-lawn sun producing plant).

    By the way, shadow peashooter is a limited time gemium plant that is for sale occasionally. 

    All the long term players are eagerly awaiting concealmint so we can slaughter the newbies engage in healthy competition with our equals.

    Read Tigerol's🐅 excellent FAQ in the useful links thread.

    After 98 the stated rewards are doubled, then after the next 98 are tripled until you reach 882 and the are capped at x10. (Costs a fortune in gems though).

    Leagues have nothing to do with mints.  Once you own a mint you can use it as you see fit.  I use Spearmint in Adventure Mode as much as possible but rarely use most of the other mints.

    @Ariky123 

    Because mints are only on offer with a limited time, if I am a new player with limited mints, then this is what I would do.  I would buy the mint I found useful for now but will not spend any more mints on it and start saving all the mints I can get for the next few weeks (hopefuly 100+) until the next new mint becomes available. 

    To me, having a level 1 mint is far better than have none and feeling miss out later.

    Firstly you don't have to start up a new thread with the same title.

    Secondly, you do realise that you can get a few extra mints by doing the events challenges for using enforcemint and a maxed out enforcemint?

    Sounds awesome. I think ill start collecting the mints. Im sure ill manage to get the Conceal-Mint as well. 

    For now, I enjoy the 3 melee plants that I mentioned, so the Enforce-Mint will be great for me!

    Ill get the Conceal-Mint next month too.

    Thanks alot for your support. I undoubtedly appreciate it!

    You've got plenty of time to save up enough mints to get both, I'm fairly sure you will find enforcemint a better mint in adventure/ endless modes and concealmint probably better in battlez (long term).

    It might be useful for you to try saving mints up in case there is another improve-mint event where previously released powermints and their seed packets are made available for a limited time.

    I don't know when (or if) the next one will be and i keep on dropping hints but they keep on ignoring them. (HINT, HINT!).
