Building Strategy Guide
Master resource management by balancing sun production with offensive plants. Early levels focus on Sunflowers and basic attackers like Peashooters. As you progress through worlds, unlock powerful plants like Laser Bean, Lava Guava, and Bonk Choy. Create synergies between plants - use Wall-nuts to protect shooters, combine slowing plants with high-damage attackers, and save Plant Food for critical zombie waves. In harder levels, pre-plan your entire garden layout before the first zombie appears.
Resource Management Tips - Exclusive Guide
Sun Economy Fundamentals:
- Plant two columns of Sunflowers in safe back rows first
- Twin Sunflower produces twice the sun once unlocked
- Primal Sunflower generates massive sun but costs more
Strategic Plant Placement:
- Front rows: Defensive plants (Wall-nut, Tall-nut)
- Middle rows: Primary attackers (Repeater, Snapdragon)
- Back rows: Sun producers and support plants
Plant Food Optimization:
- Save Plant Food for boss battles with Dr. Zomboss
- Use on Peashooters for screen-clearing pea barrage
- Boost Laser Bean to eliminate entire rows instantly
Advanced Tactics
World-Specific Strategies:
Ancient Egypt: Watch for sun-stealing Ra Zombies. Plant extra Sunflowers and use fast attackers.
Pirate Seas: Defend against Seagull Zombies and cannon attacks. Use Snapdragon's wide range effectively.
Wild West: Mine carts create dynamic lanes. Adapt plant placement quickly as carts move.
Far Future: Power Tiles boost plant abilities. Prioritize capturing and holding these strategic positions.
Achievement Unlock Guide - Pro Tips
