Later, Gladiator - Level 5 is the fifth level of the Later, Gladiator event in Penny's Pursuit. It has bonus objectives and zombie swaps, just like any other Penny's Pursuit level.

Difficulty[]

This level is mostly difficult due to two dangerous zombies in Zombie Bulls and Healer Zombies. Other zombies like Tomb Raiser Zombie will try to protect them, so Healer Zombies should be prioritized over all other zombies.

Strategies[]

Use Tall-nut to avoid Zombie bulls from launching their Bull Riders, although Rodeo Legend Zombie can easily destroy Tall-nut so you need to stall them as much as possible. Use Magnet-shroom to remove Centurions from Centurion Zombies to make them weaker. Try using Bowling Bulbs since they can easily defeat zombies.
