Strategy
You must try to quickly kill it before it summons more graves. Two Bloomerangs are recommended to do more damage on the Tomb Raiser Zombie. Keep in mind that the Snapdragon and Coconut Cannon are unnecessary to use in order to destroy the Tomb Raiser Zombie. Using a Grave Buster when he creates more Tombstones is also a bad idea, as the recharge is mediocre. Tomb Raisers with Explorer Zombies are a very deadly combo, it is recommended that you use Iceberg Lettuce's Plant Food ability to freeze the torch and stop more tombs from spawning.

In Endless Zone, this along with Pharaoh Zombie, Explorer Zombie, and Mummified Gargantuar can be very threatening. While Gargantuars absorb damage, Tomb Raiser Zombies in numbers will create more tombstones to hinder your defense production. While the other zombie will instantly kill your plants with its torch and the other one will proceed while its sarcophagus absorb damage. Which can cause a lot of troublesome on your part. Bring Cherry Bomb if ever things get rough or better yet, increase the number of Melon-pults and Winter Melons that you have. Just be sure to have enough sun producing plants first and an extreme amount of sun.
