Survival: Endless/Strategies

This is a strategy page about Survival: Endless. Feel free to add your strategies, but see the rules page first.

Strategy 1
Duration: About 20 flags

Seed slots needed: 10/9

Waves 1-2
Plants: Rake is not needed.
 * Sunflower
 * Peashooter
 * Repeater
 * Lily Pad
 * Tall-nut
 * Imitater Tall-nut
 * Spikeweed
 * Spikerock
 * Torchwood
 * Anything else

Start planting Sunlowers in the back two columns. When the first zombie comes, plant a Peashooter in that lane. When a Conehead Zombie comes, plant another Peashooter in that lane or replace it with a Repeater. Reserve three columns for your shooting plants. Plant Spikeweeds in the front two lanes when you can. Plant Tall-nuts behind them, and if you don't have it recharged use the Imitater form. Plant Torchwoods in front of the three peashooting columns. Once you have Peashooters in all 18 spots, replace them with Repeaters. The only free spaces should be the two front pool columns.

Waves 3-4
Plants: Finish planting Spikeweeds and upgrading your Peashooters to Repeaters. Upgrade your Sunflowers to Twin Sunflowers. Don't upgrade the ones on the pool; when you upgrade a Sunflower shovel one on the pool and upgrade a Lily Pad to a Cattail. You can also upgrade your Repeaters to Gatling Peas. Make sure to replace your Tall-nuts. Pumpkin the Torchwood to protect it from ambush zombies.
 * Twin Sunflower
 * Tall-nut
 * Spikeweed
 * Spikerock
 * Repeater
 * Gatling Pea
 * Cattail
 * Pumpkin
 * Imitater Pumpkin
 * Torchwood

Waves 5-6
Plants needed: You now can do something with those four empty spaces. Put a Pumpkin around a Gloom-shroom. Do the same things as in the previous waves as before.
 * Twin Sunflower
 * Pumpkin
 * Lily Pad
 * Gatling Pea
 * Cattail
 * Spikeweed
 * Spikerock
 * Coffee Bean
 * Fume-shroom
 * Gloom-shroom

If there are Digger Zomies, replace some of your Repeaters with Split Peas. If there are Zombonis or Gargantuars, make sure you have a lot of Spikerocks to stall the Gargantuars and kill the Zombonis.

King Cobless
This is by far the best cobless strategy out there. No Ice-shroom needed! It'll take a few tries to set up, but it's worth it!

Minimum seed slots: 10.

Flag 1-2
Pick these plants:
 * Sunflower
 * Potato Mine
 * Lily Pad
 * Cattail
 * Repeater
 * Torchwood
 * Twin Sunflower
 * Gatling Pea
 * Pumpkin
 * Melon-pult

Plant 5 Sunflowers on each grass lane. When the first zombie comes, kill it with a Potato Mine. When the second one comes, save enough sun for a Cattail. Plant the Cattail on the first column. When you get the chance, plant a Twin Sunflower on One of the Sunflowers on the first column. Plant Repeaters in the third/fourth column from the right. When a Buckethead Zombie comes, plant a torchwood on the second lane from the right, or Gatling Pea if you have it, on the same lane as it. If a Buckethead Zombie appears on the pool, plant another Cattail and, if you have it, a Melon-pult on the same lane. By the end, it should look like this: TSF = Twin Sunflower

SF = Sunflower

C = Cattail

MP = Melon-pult

R = Repeater/Gatling Pea

t = Torchwood

Underlined = On lily pad.

Bold/I'talics = Pumpkin

3-4
Choose these plants: Plant Repeaters in front of your other Repeaters. Upgrade the Melon-pults to Winter Melons. Place 3 new Melon-pults in front of your Winter Melons. Do NOT upgrades those Melon-pults to Winter Melons. Your sun is vital. Place Sunflowers in front of your Melon-pults. Plant Gloom-shrooms on the second column from the right in the pool. Pumpkin them. It is good to plant them on the second from the right because of Dolphin Rider Zombies. Upgrade the Sunflowers on the pool to Twin Sunflowers. Now it should look like this: WM = Winter Melon
 * Lily Pad
 * Repeater
 * Pumpkin
 * Winter Melon
 * Melon-pult
 * Sunflower
 * Twin Sunflower
 * Fume-shroom
 * Gloom Shroom
 * Coffee Bean

GS = Gloom-shroom

This strategy is not finished. It will be later.

Basic 10 Cob cannon Strategy
It may cost a LOT of sun, but it can last very long, and can kill the zombies rapidly, but it still may not work as you want. It also needs 10 seed slots, which is very expensive on the store (I survived 74 flags with it, but I didn't use it correctly)

Flag 1-2  (Underlined = Extra seed (uneeded))
​( Rake not needed)
 * Lily pad = Underlined (on strategy Board)
 * Cob cannon =CB (its downgrade too)
 * Melon-Pult = MP
 * Winter-melon =WM
 * Pumpkin=PK
 * Cattail=CT
 * Twin Sunflower = TW (its downgrade too)
 * Imitater Sunflower = IS
 * Potatomine = PM

First, plant Sunflowers and its Imitater counterpart, Then, if you see a zombie, plant a Potato Mine 4 squares in front of the zombie, Then plant a Lily Pad in the middle upper row of the Pool, If you can, upgrade it into a Cattail,

Then, plant Cob Cannons behind the Cattail. Try to plant under the first Cob Cannons more Cobs, but do not plant before Flag 3 Cobs in front of them, (okay, if you can shoot the Ambush Zombies before they eat your Cobs, Do it! feel free to do it) then, plant Cob Cannons on the land, 4 squares in front of the house (detailed placing is in the strategy board), then plant Melon-pults behind them,

Strategy board: ( NO = do not place anything there) (PK with other plant shortening (like PKWM) means that you have to place the plant INSIDE the Pumpkin)

PK  PK  PK  PKWM   CB TW  TW  IS

PK  PK  PK  PKWM   CB  IS  IS  TW

CB  CB   PKCT  NO  NO  PKTW  PKTW  PKIS

(Same as above)

(Same as the Land part above)

(Same as Above) It is not finished yet. I will work on it, when I do have time
