does shrieking violet reduce the points you get for a kill, or will you get the same amount for a weakened zombie?

Interpid potato mine, could you explain what strategy you used? cus i played with the same core plants (cherry bomb instead of violet and spearmint instead of spikes), and got like 600k points most. I'm at lvl 3-4 though with the plants, but i dont think it should do so much difference. No, Shrinking Violet does not.

To be totally honest with you, levels matter a lot here. With lv4 plants, best you can get is 1mil I think. Cherry Bomb may not be as effective against Gargantuars as Shrinking violet. Spear-mint, though it is cheap has a very slow recharge, and so you cannot have a spikerock to plant every few seconds. Also, Primal Potato Mine's range isn't at its max at lv4, so you will get lower scores than people with lv6+ primal potatoes.

What I do is very simple:

Plant as many Moonflowers as possible for my setup. Keep on planting Moonflower, Dusk Lobber and Witch Hazel. Spam Primal Potato Mine and Shrink Violet. Also keep planting Spikerock. Concentrate on zombies that have managed to get past the first two rows. Use plant food on Primal Potato Mine.

This is how I deal with sandstorm Gargantuans that get very far in: use shrinking violet on it, then plant spikerock underneath.
