Board Thread:Plants vs. Zombies 2: It's About Time/@comment-24025000-20131112040346/@comment-24169347-20131114200929

I've made it to Level 44 and counting. At these higher levels, I use twin sunflowers, spring bean, wall-nut (tall-nut is too expensive initially), repeater, bonk choy, wintermelon, and spikeweed (spikerock is too expensive initially). Each round, I pick the sunflower card so I can immediately plant a twin sunflower (I use the first two rows for sunflowers). At the start, I immediately feed the twin sunflower plant food. (After level 35 or so, it seems I need two plant foods, so might as well spend them right away). As soon as the zombies are coming, I plant a spring bean in the path of the first zombie on the plank, and immediately plant a wall-nut in front of the water (eventually they will come too fast for the wall-nut to recharge). If zombies come across the water, or multiple zombies walk together (spring bean only kills one), I plant bonk choy and repeaters ONLY as needed. After this phase, as soon as I get enough sun for a wintermelon, I plant it - these are critical to have ASAP in the higher levels, otherwise I get overrun. I usually have enough sun after planting 5-6 twin sunflowers (and using one or two plant food) to get the first wintermelon - placing it in front of the plank. If an imp cannon comes out, then it's critical to get the wintermelon attacking it - spend plant food if you have to.

Other notes: Spikeweed are only useful after the first wintermelon, before then, it's more cost-effective to save up sun for the wintermelon, but afterwards, they can take out all the zombies on the plank. Also, if a pirate captain zombie comes early in the level, it's good to plant a spring bean directly underneath it for a quick, instant kill, before the parrot steals an important plant and screws up my defense.
