Strategies
You must try to quickly kill it before it summons more tombstones. Two Bloomerangs are recommended to do more damage on the Tomb Raiser Zombie. The Snapdragon and Coconut Cannon are unnecessary to use in order to destroy the Tomb Raiser Zombie because the Snapdragon's range is close and the Coconut Cannon needs to have a clear path to hit.

Tomb Raiser Zombies with Explorer Zombies are a very deadly combo. It is recommended that you use Iceberg Lettuce's Plant Food ability to freeze the torch and stop more spawned tombstones

In Endless Zone, this along with Pharaoh Zombie, Explorer Zombie, and Mummified Gargantuar can be very threatening. While Gargantuars absorb damage, Tomb Raiser Zombies in numbers will create more tombstones to hinder your defense production. The other zombies will instantly kill your plants with its torch and the other one will proceed as its sarcophagus absorb damage. This can cause a lot of trouble. Bring Cherry Bomb if ever things get rough or better yet, increase the number of Melon-pults and Winter Melons that you have. Just be sure to have enough sun producing plants first and an extreme amount of sun.
