Re: Zomboss + Healer = Unwinnable

I'm not having any trouble defeating the Zomboss on mid difficulty with level 5 plants. Usually I have like 30sec+ left. Even with level 1 plants and a slightly different load-out the Zomboss can be (easily) defeated on low difficulty.

    Thank you! I used this set up in extra spicey (leaving out Squash), but my plants are ranging from mid to high. I barely made it in my first try, but got several seconds (and around 3 gems) left in the second attempt.

  • @ForestOutlook Powertoss is our strategy expert 😉 you should have seen his score in arena with level 1 magnifying grass....the results are mind boggling whenever i saw it....

    @Perfume-shroom92I think I've seen PowerToss' low level Magnifying Grass strats in some Arena level when someone posted them on PvZ reddit comments. I tried to imitate one but to no avail, since I just can't manage the tappings with MGs 😃

    When I see some gameplay videos, I think in some cases, tapping skill/fast finger is necessary too in addition to strategies, lol. Not only with strats with micro-management plants like MG, but like the Boosterama with lots of planting and digging (Imp Pear I'm looking at you).

  • @ForestOutlook I hate any tapping plants!!! xDDD so even if you kill me, i am not going to try it 😛 I remember one level last time...can't remember what...but i have to dig up the entire lawn of plants and replace them. My wrist was creaking by the end of that week... and i think i nearly broke my mouse...

    @Perfume-shroom92 If you want to see a real strategist you have to watch Zackscott's new video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EFkQ8_SU_ok

    He is doing a fantastic job against the Zomboss on high difficulty with his Mastery Electric Peashooter xDDDDDDDD


    ZackScott surely does like his Electric Pea (as much as I like my Pyre Vine, perhaps, lol). I did the same mistake as him, trying out the Extra Spicy level the first day, and failed at all three attempts 🤭

    I tried to use Bowling Bulb, but without bringing Appease-mint, and it turned out just not enough.

    Now I'm actually curious if his Electric-Pea strats might actually work with some more workaround with the other plants line up. Sadly I don't have it to try it out 😳

    He used his M74 electric Pea and lv6 fila mint every every single tournament.how boring.


  • Yeah, I wasted 10 minutes of my life watching a Scott vid where he lost a Zomboss three times in a row... much prefer The Real Gamer.

    - BUT -

    Is there anyone else who is confused by this Zomboss health bar thing? Last Pursuit I got him with Jalapeno. Nuts to that - not this time. Someone, I think PowerToss, mentioned Squash to add to the BB - Appease-mint lineup. Still, it helps to know what you're trying to do when when the objective is to mess with Z's wossname - health bar? - 7 or 9 or however many times it is.

    As a new players against Zomboss it's like: "Clear out 5 health bars. The first 2 can be cleared out for free, for the other 3 you have to pay 4.99€ to be able to clear them out." I gave my poofshrooms plant seed and it wasn't doing any damage.

    @Samsung_Tab_III Why in the world are you paying money to clear it out? I can win it easily with bowling bulb, appease mint, blover, moonflower.... maybe you should change whatever plants you are bringing in.

    I didn't pay any money in this game. Didn't you understand that I made a meme?

    This weeks boss fight is much easier than the last ones except the very first 2. Healers don't appear most of the time and the "plant food" field makes my sunshroom produce thousands of suns for my magnifying grass. I've already unlocked this weeks plant, now I have to upgrade it.

    @PowerToss look~~ i found you another 'magnifying grass' lover 😉


    Guess he will like it even more.

    I have accidentally put Shine Vine onto Magnifying Grass and discovered it becomes self firing...  No need for taping.

  • This weeks boss fight is the easiest I've ever played. With magnifying grass and sunshroom I can clear out all 4 health bars within 30 seconds. I use the 2 1/2 minutes to remove all plants and to farm gems. I can get a decent number of 5 gems per boss fight.
