Third Strategy (only gem premium)

-Blover (crucial in removing parrots, swashbuckler and gargs; imps if you are fast)

-Primal Potato Mine (detonates group)

-Moonflower (or primal sunflower if you have Plant Food)

-Chard Guard (crucial for removing gargs)

-Primal wallnut (stalls gargs and imps when thrown; sorry i like playing my games fast forward-you know game slows to normal speed when zombies breach second column)

-Hurrikale - only gem premium (stalls cannons-halves firing rate; blows zombies back to create an 3*3 slow opening for the next plant)

-Winter Melon (works in tandem with hurrikale - hurrikale creates opening and winter chills surrounding zombies which are hiding behind attacked zombies)

Step 1) plant moonflower-those who have it shld know how to use it. not elaborating. use chard guard to slow first zombie

Step 2) if next zombie is a cone/bucket, use Primal mine to destroy group. chard chard shld have hurled first zombie with the others. shovel chard guard. if barrel is next zombie, do PPM (same as previous to destroy first zombie) and use chard guard on barrel and use Blover( be fast or barrel will only be hurled backwards, not blown away

Step 3) get first two columns to have Moonflower ( or Primal SF) and third and fourth columns to have winter melons. stall zombies with chard guard + blover. when gargs hurl imps (in slow motion due to chill from winter/hurrikale) get ready blover and put it b4 he swing out his arm

Step 4) eliminate row by row first the plank-less rows, then the lanes with most gargantuars, then stall remaining Gargantuars with Hurrikale.

this strategy is very reliable (no failing since level 40 i am now on level 118 - now farming power-ups and gems)
