Plants vs. Zombies Wiki

Divide by Nero - Level 1 is the first level of the Divide by Nero event in Penny's Pursuit. It takes place in Big Wave Beach and is similar to Big Wave Beach - Day 24. It has new objectives and zombie swaps, similar to other Penny's Pursuit levels. In addition to the zombie swaps, there are also some newly added zombies.

Difficulty[]

This level is quite easy. Exploding Bulbs provide massive damage to zombies while Hurrikales push them back, preventing them from trampling the flowers. While Lightning Reed is weak, it can provide a hefty chunk of damage when boosted by Fila-mint.

There are only a few zombies the player should worry.

Strategies[]

Use Exploding Bulb when there are huge hoards of zombies, so that they can deal severe damage and can easily wipe them out. Use Hurrikale when zombies come close or when All-Star Zombie rushes is, so that you can prepare and have time to kill him. Use Fila-mint when there are lots of zombies so that this plant can deal splash damage. Use Lightning Reed as a plant to be tackled by All-Star Zombie.

Trivia[]

  • Instead of the regular Penny's Pursuit description, it shows the one for Pirate Seas instead. This is most likely an oversight.
