Talk:Big Wave Beach - Day 25/@comment-25574695-20150207004839

I've beaten almost all levels in PvZ2 on "classic", as I call it. (no premium$ or boosts, no plant food, all lawn mowers saved). This along with BWB Day 16 is the only one I can't do it on.

I just did this one today with no plant food and all lawn mowers, but needed the Homing Thistle (gemium plant) to do it. Used it along with Tangle Kelp, Sun-Shroom, Puff-Shroom, Chard Guard, Cherry Bomb. Homing Thistle in the back row, Chard in the next row, Sun-Shrooms on the frontline (they will all eventually get octo'd/killed/surfboard'd/dragged into the ocean but by then you should have all the sun you need), Kelp to kill off fishermen, and Puff-Shrooms everywhere else possible to distract the fishermen, octos, gargs.

Those Puff-Shrooms are so great for dealing with BWB enemies when you don't have much else, drop them in front of surfers to get them to drop their boards, drop in front of the dumb fishermen, drop and then delete to get octos to waste their octo-b.s, drop in front of gargs while they get tossed around by Chard Guards. I got lucky slightly, I think, the last wave gave me only one Garg but I had to kill a staggering amount of octo derps, including four or five on the last low tide and one throwing stuff from off-screen.

Anyway, for those having trouble for normal play, Homing Thistle, Cherry Bomb, Chard Guard, and Puff-Shroom will work, just have an Infi-Nut shield up at all times, use puffs to bait the surfers into dropping their boards and that along with Chard Guard to slow down Gargs, you may want to bring Snapdragons and plant two in the back to free up anyone octo'd.
