Oh, don't worry, I sucked at Endless/Challenge Zones initially. Adapt your strategy, but always remember to have an early killer and Winter Melon. Take Twin Sunflower, the early killer, and Winter Melon; they are vital for pretty much anything. Now, here's the chicken dilemma that plagues some: You can't take out all chickens with Reeds, but you can't set up spikes as early as they spawn. The answer is to take both. Use Reeds for the early Wranglers, and replace them with Winter Melons that have spikes some columns in front. Reeds work for the early ones, and by the time there are too many for the Reeds, you can use spikes.
