IMO, if you’re going to have only 1 Gloom Shroom protecting your back rows from Diggers, then you should at least try and ladder up your next 2 or 3 columns to prevent damage from Imps. Speaking from experience, even if you bring both Pumpkin and Imitater Pumpkin, you will not be able to maintain your protection in the face of Diggers, Imps, Dolphins, and Ambush Zombies, especially with minimal snaring (your pool rows are completely unshared, and you have only 1 WM on each grass lanes). Also, those Spikerocks are REALLY useless, because most often times, they die immediately after you set them up (provided that you are at least on flag 60 or so). Really, it takes just 9 hits from Gargantuars and Zombonies to kill them, and most later flags have dozens or so of them appearing at the same time, so there’s no point in placing Spikerocks on the 8th and 9th column, because they’re too close to time Cob Cannons correctly. And no, you don’t HAVE to spam CCS all the time to win, because not everyone wants to be a bot. It’s not really hard to set up an 8 to 10 Cob formation and then spam them every time a new wave comes. I used to do exactly that on PC, until I got so bored I actually started diving into deeper tactics using ladders and Cobless etc. Seriously, Cobs are good, but not using them doesn’t mean you’re bad.
