Level 5-3

Level 5-3 is the forty-third Plants vs. Zombies level and the thirdd Roof level. To complete this level, the player must not let the zombies into the house. When the player is finished with this level for the first time, he or she earns the Coffee Bean.

Difficulty

 * There are now only three columns of Flower Pots, but at least in this level, you 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 it 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.
 * After, plant two rows 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 instants to kill big groups of zombies or ladders when placed on your Wall-nut
 * If necessary, plant an extra Flower Pot and an instant-kill on it to kill extra zombies.
