Well, I just got to try out the new zone, and although I can't say how it'll turn out later on, the dinosaurs really don't bother me when I have a row of Primal Peashooters, two rows of sunflowers, a row of holo-nuts, and as many Spikeweed as I can afford. I may lose a few sunflowers, but I don't feel it gets out of control.

Knowing about the likes of Pteradactyls, I'm guessing I'll need to come up with a better combination. Especially since, unlike prospectors and diggers, the backward facing zombies those drop off can absolutely be bucketheads.

If everyone were normal, the world would be a dull place. Like reality television.

Just add Perfume-Shroom to your to your setup once you get it and focus using it on the pterodactyls. If your plan has worked thus far, it's likely to work until the end. There's not a huge amount of variation in terms of zombies on Jurassic Marsh.

Unfortunately, it relies on filling up the remaining seed slots with instant plants, so I can stall for as long as I can. Bringing in just a perfumeshroom doesn't give me enough to deal with more than one dino at a time, but it also means that I have less time to set up sun production.

And doesn't deal well with early imps or Dinos. Especially an early Pteradactyl, I might not even have the sun to deal with it.

If the rumors are true, the next world will be Present Day, and the final day.

Hmm...well, IF it's true, that is.

Hence, just a rumor.

I just want the next Part of Jurassic Marsh. It's going to be hard, but holy shit, both Primitive Sunflower and Primitive Potato Mine looks so freaking awesome.

Random thoughts.

I actually think Dark Ages isn't that hard, I would actually rate it about 3 Jalapenos.

........that is, as long as that Goddamned Wizard is not around. If that's around, I give it 5 Jalapenos.

I reached level 90 in the Arthur's Challenge, and so far I feel that both King Zombie and Jester Zombies can be countered by either Spikerocks or Coconut Cannons.

As for the Spikerocks, well, you can't place it on the rightmost lane because King Zombie will crush it. However, you can totally put in on second and third rightmost lanes and it will heavily injure or kill Jesters and Knight Zombies. Oh, it helps if you have Chard Guard.

Coconut Cannons! Now, you can NOT fire a round at a Jester Zombie directly. What you can do is fire at a nearby non-Jester zombie and let the splash damage take care of that. And with the enough numbers, you will have enough power to kill both Knight Zombies and King Zombie before the latter make more of former.

This is my experience, at any rate.

.......That said, I have both Power Lily, Imitator, Extra Seed and Plant Food slots, so...yeah...

This why you don't open up so many tabs, especially with TV tropes threads. XP

I'd hope to see some sort of Ancient Grome before the updates end. And something like feudal Japan, I'm really bitter that the only one Asian Age PvZ2 features so far is China exclusive.

I've never really understood how people can get so far in these. Maybe's it's because I've tried to spend as little real life money, or that I try not to use the Zen Garden plants because you lose them if you have to reset, or what it is.

I've never used a single real life penny in any mobile game, so it's entirely possible to achieve that without micropayments.

Then it must be that I'm too lazy to use the extremely precise tactics necessary.

I haven't gotten a single gem in Pinata Party like almost consecutively 7 times in a row.

Goddamn it! >:(

In another note, I bought Sweet Potato just because. I would like to buy Dandelion too, but I need like 70 more gems. XP

I just bought Sweet Potato too, basically because I have no other Gem plants to buy anymore.

Speaking of Gem-purchasable plants, I concluded that outside of Icebound Battleground, Ghost Pepper is way more useful than Lava Guava.

I use GP to take care of the Gravestones. What do you guys use to take care of those?

Grave Buster, Winter Melon, Laser Bean. Toadstool is also a way to destroy those in the 3 squares in front of it.

I often use two Puff-Shrooms next to a gravestone to take care of it.

Just purchased Grapeshot and WHOA is it strong. Can one-shot gargs if placed correctly, clears groups even faster than C.Bomb.

Also, it's one of the few times where a direct upgrade doesn't cause another plant to be Overshadowed by Awesome. In fact, it makes Cherry Bomb more useful. Using this with Imitater and Cherry Bomb is pretty game breaking, effectively reducing the cooldown of a 3x3 instant kill by 2/3rds...

...eheh
Ekimmak Since: Nov, 2010 Relationship Status: Above such petty unnecessities
#396: Dec 3rd 2015 at 4:25:22 AM

Cherry Bomb also comes in a pack, so you're getting it a little cheaper, along with an upgrade trophy and some money (which you'll probably burn off the next time you go on a powerup rampage, but it's not the main reason you'd get it)

... I want to rant about the Zomboss music masher, but chances are anything to say about it has already been said.

I like it as a concept, but yeah, it has very little usability actually in the game.

At first I thought it was going to be a more powerful version of Homing Thistle and attack everything on the field. But it turns out that it's a bit more powerful than Lightning Reed, but twice as expensive and three times as slow to charge. >:[

It does have an advantage versus jesters, but that only works on maps without spawning gravestones. If graves show up, then it suffers a lot of DPS drop.

So, what's the best way to deal with Glitter Zombies? They aren't a real threat, but they completely neuter any group-hitting plant, and the longer it takes for said plant to finish one, the further in the real threats get.

I tried a combinatioon of Bonk Choy and AKEE, which got me to the end of the map with no losses, but there were quite a few tense moments to deal with, and Thyme Warp actually makes it harder, because the Glitters get mixed up with tougher zombies, ruining the focus fire.
