Level 5-3

Level 5-3 is the 43rd level in Plants vs. Zombies and Plants vs. Zombies: Journey To The West. It is also the third Roof level. When the level is finished for the first time, the player unlocks the Coffee Bean.

Difficulty

 * There are now only three columns of Flower Pots, but the player can replace them when they are eaten.
 * Although Bungee Zombies do not appear at the start or during the duration of the level, they can bring down more zombies at the final wave.
 * The player may not know that the Ladder Zombie only places its ladder on Pumpkins, Wall-nuts, or Tall-nuts.
 * Then, other zombies may use the ladder after it is placed, unless the player digs the plant up or it is destroyed by a Jalapeno, Cherry Bomb, or Cob Cannon.

Strategies

 * Suggested plants
 * Sunflower
 * Potato Mine
 * Cabbage-pult
 * Squash
 * Cherry Bomb
 * Kernel-pult
 * Wall-nut
 * Plant two columns of Sunflowers while planting Potato Mines to kill the zombies at the start of the level. Then, start planting one column of Kernel-pults and one or two columns of Cabbage-pults. Plant extra Flower Pots when needed.
 * Then, plant two columns of Wall-nuts to defend yourself from dropping zombies at the final wave and other zombies coming from the right hand side of the board.
 * Use instant-kills to kill big groups of zombies or ladders when placed on your Wall-nuts.
 * If necessary, plant an extra Flower Pot and an instant-kill plant on it to kill extra zombies.
