User blog:Lawn Defender/Survival: Endless strategy guide

This is a guide for Survival: Endless. Most ideas here came from Draco89123 but I said them in my opinions.

About this Survival game
Survival: Endless is an endless Survival level in a pool setting. This survival game starts with less zombies then it gets more difficult later on with more zombies.

Ground
The ground is where most zombies come. The backmost column is where the Diggers come out and Catapults target, the 3rd and 4th columns is where the Imps are thrown, and the front three columns is where most zombies are where no plants can survive.

Pool
The pool has less zombies but still there are Dolphin Rider Zombies and underwater zombies. The back 4 columns are safe places for Cob Cannons. The front two columns are vulnerable to jack box explosions where the Gloom-shrooms are usually placed. The 3rd column from the right is safe from jack explosions but Dolphins usually jump there. The 5th and 6th columns from the left are safe places for plants like Cattail but underwater zombies can come out there so use Pumpkin.

Plants
Winter Melon - Winter melon does heavy damage to groups of zombies and slows them down. Since there are many zombies, this plant is useful.

Cob Cannon - Cob Cannons launch explosive corn cobs to the zombies making it the most important plant in this survival game along with Gloom-shroom. Gargantuars take two cobs while Giga-gargantuars take three. Cob Cannons are safely placed at the back of the pool while the front is protected by Gloom-shrooms.

Gloom-shroom - Gloom-shrooms do heavy damage to zombies around them. This is also the most important plant. Gloom-shrooms are planted on the pool to heavily damage the zombies and near the back for Diggers and Imps.

Cattail - Cattail's spikes can pop balloons. Two of them are enough for taking down all balloon zombies.

Spikerock - Spikerocks are used to protect plants from vehicles and Gargantuar. They can take 9 vehicle bumps or hits from Gargantuar. They may also be used for Diggers.

Gatling Pea and Torchwood - Gatling Pea does a lot of damage and Torchwood makes it even better. Firepeas may seem powerful but later on, the zombies increase, and shields and vehicles can block the heat from hitting other zombies. Another problem is that the heat of firepeas prevent zombies from slowing down. Combining them with Fume-shrooms and/or Spikerocks make it better.

Pumpkin - Pumpkin can be planted on other plants to protect them except cob cannons.

Twin Sunflower - Twin Sunflowers produce sun for replacing damaged and lost plants. A lot of sunflowers are needed when starting but later on they are replaced with other plants while 4 to 6 Twin Sunflowers are kept later.

Gold Magnet - This plant is optional but can be used to collect coins when earning money.

Umbrella Leaf - protects plants from bungees and catapults.

Zombies
Zomboni - Zomboni can crush plants and is immune to being frozen. Spikerocks can stop them but since there are many, there must be Cob Cannons and/or Gloom-shrooms also.

Catapult Zombie - Catapults can destroy the plants from the back. Umbrella Leaves at the back can protect plants from Catapults.

Jack-in-the-Box Zombie - Although its health is only 17 hp, it can destroy plants when it explodes. This is the problem when there are Gloom-shrooms on the pool so make sure to replace them right after losing them. It may not be problem for the outer lanes that are far from the pool.

Digger Zombie - This zombie digs underground to the back of the lawn. Two Gloom-shrooms at the 2nd column from the back can kill it together with Imps while Magnet-shrooms won't work because of many zombies. With one Gloom-shroom in the 2nd column and empty backmost lane, it dies before reaching a plant. A Spikerock will also work but not for the Imps.

Imp - Although Imp has a low health, this zombie is thrown to the middle of the lawn. Gloom-shrooms at the 2nd column can kill it together with Digger Zombie.

Gargantuar - Gargantuar has a high health (150 hp) taking 2 instant kills which do 100 hp of damage each. Launching a cob can take half of its health. Launch another cob when more zombies come. Also use Winter Melon to slow it down.

Giga-gargantuar - This zombie is similar to Gargantuar but has twice its health (300 hp) taking 3 instant kills. Since it has higher health, there should be Cob Cannons and instant kills. Also use Winter Melon to freeze it and Gloom-shroom to do heavy damage fast.

Strategies
Since Cob Cannons are the main weapon and the most powerful, we can classify set-ups according to the number of Cob Cannons.

Cobless
Survival: Endless is possible without cobs but harder. Here's a cobless set-up from Draco89123 with some changes. All plants in pumpkin except the Fume-shrooms in front.

Gs - Gloom-shroom

Wm - Winter Melon

Fs - Fume-shroom

Ts - Twin Sunflower

Ct - Cattail

U - Umbrella Leaf
