I think this new game mode has been vastly underrated and i think I could understand why. If you are a long-time player and have many powerful plants designed for Arena and Penny's Pursuit, then you can kill the enjoyment by just dropping a few Spear Mints, wait for a few minutes and watch the level ends.I found this game mode is best enjoyed by using low level world plants, just like the way we used to play the world levels. I see this as a true extension to the original world levels. If you are a new comer and casual players with low level plants, I trust you will find this new game mode is much more rewarding than the others. Currently this is the 3rd event: Backyard Big Top, and there is a good reward of 50 seeds of the new powerful plant, Teleportato Mine.Please share your enjoyment and experience here with us.

I have finished all 30 levels...i have to say some are tricky. There are 2/3 levels where its level 1 plants being chosen for you and i am just swearing at them zombies. Some really nice zombie ideas, love the theme and actually the zomboss have got to be the most colourful of them all xD

I enjoyed playing under the Big Tent. I liked the new zombies. I tended to use the same plants, though, electric pea, power vine and boingsetta. I had to stop one level and restart it, losing 10 of the energy levels because I had picked the wrong plants. Hopefully, these zombies will show up in other places, maybe a new world?

The new event is now here.This is the 4th event - Lunar Zoo Year

Hi,What is your opinion on Teleportato Mine’s effectiveness in Arena? I only got it to level 2 and wonder if I should buy the upgrade piñata before it’s gone.

@eieio_31310 I actually really enjoyed these events. I think they have blocked all the mints this time so i have to stick with really basic plants like bloomerang, magnet shroom and just seeing the new zombies are such great fun. I met the fire spewing zombies who burnt my IP and i was like wow....

@Perfume-shroom92 I think only level 17 and 22 forced you to use lv1 plants xD

Took me 3 tries at level 17 before I figured out to use plant food to refresh the gold bloom. Easier when you can replace the plants Tweedledum and tweedledee ate.

I try to play this with M1 profile and even using the 1st set of world plant is way over power, this is a good time if EA can reconsider and allow player to create a new level 1 profile to enjoy this new mode to its full potential.
With level 1 profiles it is much more enjoyable, I even learn that Stilt walker zombie can walk over Chard Guard and lost one of my lawn mower in level 3.
There is also a bug in the game on level 4 that the Winter melon attacks the tombstone in the preview screen and you can move it to clear out all the tombstones before starting the game. 👿

I reckon it could be a fairly useful plant, but to get a significant improvement you need to get it to level 6, which will cost you around 1,000 sparkly gems.
Level 2 teleports four zombies and level six teleports six zombies but the arming time is reduced to two seconds instead of three.
I have sent you a private message.
