Plants Vs Zombies - Tips and Tricks Part 1

Plants vs zombies is a great game created by PopCap Games. It is a tower defense game, where you build structures to preclude the enemy from going through the line. In Plants vs Zombies, you get to build plants, a very wide collection of them, using solar power from the sun and your sunlight producing plants. The objective of the game is to preclude the zombies from eating your brains, which is reconsider a great delicacy to them. The game has a light hearted feel and very creative in the implementation of the gameplay. Not only that, there are more modes to play after you completed it once, giving very high re-playability and fun.

As you go through the adventure mode, I find that it is very straight forward. Basically, before every match, you will be given more than adequate plants to result the level. Therefore, this tips and tricks will be mainly about the things that you can explore after you completed the game, like new plants, plants upgrade, money earning tricks and etc.

Here, I list down the note worthy plants that are worth mentioning. Part One will be about the plants that I find to be beneficial and very recommended!

Instant kill "bombs" plants:
Cherry Bombs, Jalapeno, Potato Mines, Squash, Tangle Kelp, Doom Shroom, Blover

These types of plants approximately instant kill anything. Cherry bombs destroys zombies in a small radius. Jalapeno destroys all things in a lane and melts ice paths. Squash will destroy all zombies in a grid, given that they are close adequate to each other. Tangle Kelp kills water zombies, with the drawback of long cooldown. Doom Shroom can kill an entire wave of zombies, if you plant in at the right time, with the drawback of leaving a hole in the ground where you can't plant for a inescapable period of time. Blovers instant kills all balloon zombies without mercy. Potato Mines kills a single land zombie and underground miners, with the drawback of taking very long to ready itself. Although potato mines take a long time to load, it is a must have for many stages, because in early game, you want to build as many sunflowers as potential and dropping a potato mine or squash to deal with a zombie instead of using a peashooter will save you 75 sun, to build someone else sunflower. This benefit will fetch very quickly. Try it out to see.

Attack plants:
Repeaters: They shoot two peas at once. Very good when behind touchwoods. If you want a fetch lane, upgrade it to a gatling pea to shoot 4 fireballs at once. Very good in dominating a lane, given that the zombies are not very tough, like a horde of Gargantuars. Once you get this, don't even bother about the peashooters.

Threepeater: It shoots 3 peas, one in the above lane, one in lane and one in the below lane. I find it to be very beneficial in pool levels, when you have 6 lanes to deal with instead of 5. Works with touchwood well. In other levels, it is not so great since there are always best stuff to use.

Snow Pea: Slow! Very useful! Hates Touchwoods though.

Gloom Shroom: The most underestimated plant ever! This baby is very powerful! Not only it has a fast strike speed, it attacks in all the directions! Not to mention the piecing quality towards screen doors! Although it has short range, it is very devastating when combined with a pumpkin and maybe a garlic!

Melon-Pult: The Superman of the plant empire. This guy deals weighty splash damage to zombies and shoots relatively fast, although slower than the general peashooting types. However, its projectile can hit screen doors zombies and snorkel zombies directly! To see true ownage, upgrade it to a Winter Melon!

Cob Launcher: The Nuke of the game. High-priced and has a long reload time though. Not to mention that you need to operate it yourself.

Other Plants:
Magnet Shroom: Very beneficial and principal in some levels. It removes a lot of stuff from buckets to pogo sticks. This can truly make your life easier by removing extra zombie abilities, reduce the defensive power of zombies and you can even upgrade it to get money for you if you are lazy to click manually!

Wallnut, Tallnut, Pumpkin: principal in most games. No player can live without them!

Spikeweed and Spikerock: Very beneficial in some levels with vehicles. It can also be a good source of damage when your main defense line is built! This plant cannot be taken away by bungees zombies! someone else great use for Spikerocks is that Gargantuars will stop by and smash it. Unlike other plants (Even Tallnuts with Pumpkin, the super tank in the plant empire) that dies in one hit, it takes around 5 to 6 smashes from a Gargantuar to get it in pieces.
