Goop shrooms and Dave's mansion

Best way to slow down a team of hungry zombies is planting all goop shrooms in front of Crazy Daves mansion. I never see many doing so. Thoughts?

    Nah, wouldn't think that it's the best plan. It could be updated a bit further.

    Since the front line plants are wide open, goop-shrooms would be useless because of the fact that they are close range and the zombies will see them almost halfway across the entrance. For the front line, using a diversity of scaredy-shrooms, repeaters, and pea gatling would surely protect your garden at the best. Also, it doesn't hurt to leave a pot for a heal flower.

    The runner up plants that are right behind the front line plants (the ones under crazy dave's mansion) will for sure die instantly because the zombies will expect the plants to be all sitting there trying to keep out the zombies from entering (even the potted ones). For those plants, I use either doom-shroom, bamboo shoots, scaredy-shrooms (maybe), bonk choy, goop-shrooms, or some heal flowers. Remember that these plants will die very quickly so prepare to lose them quick.

    As for the pots above the mansion, they are extremely vital towards defending the top part if you don't have a person that's good at sniping from above. For those plants use doom-shrooms, goop-shrooms, fume-shrooms, and bonk choy to defend the top. Having a bamboo shoot on top doesn't hurt either, but may protect only the bottom and not the top. If you use the first 4 plants that I just listed in this paragraph, then you would have a very good killing machine up there. Example: have a goop-shroom in one of the two pots near the door and either a doom-shroom or a bonk choy. Goop-shroom will slow down the zombie then either bonk choy or doom-shroom will finish him off.

    More than likely, zombie players will rush the top part of the mansion and won't expect what is coming to them on top. Average players tend to not care where they are going and are just mindlessly using rushing skills to get to the top part of the mansion then before you know it, they get killed by potted plants. Note that none of this above will work as good if you are against players with a brain that remembers where each pot is located on the map.

As a zombie its impossible to lose if you do as follows. In daves mansion
Scientist with health bomb and light ball warp I forget the name. Toss the ball on top the bridge, then hit warp and ur in. kinda shady but you can get in 4 out or 5 times.

That is unless there are any wall-nuts in front of the door.

You have full health when you reappear its quite easy to just leap over and you are in. Then taunt and repeat. I've done this well over 50 times now and have not lost one time in daves mansion since I started.

I find it easier to use the default teleport, warp once from the bridge to the stairs and then from the stairs into the door.

    But if there are any potatoe mines you will blow up. With the other ability you actuallyt help the team by destroying them with no damage. I had a team of scientists go through in less than a minute. I don't know what they could do to fix the problem either which is the biggest issue to be honest.

      I suppose that's true but I always look before I leap, if the area is lined with mines I'll change classes and go at it another way.

      Also, didn't they change the energy warp so it is no longer able to enter the mansion? Meaning you need to change back first? Either or, a well defended door can hold off such attacks with lots of wallnuts and mines. Though as AWmaxsterling said, the best defense is to keep them from even getting into the yard in the first place. Hold down those cannons and the teleporter and they don't stand a chance.

        The second you spawn back you are in and the plants have no shorgun class to do an insta kill so you cant lose.
