Plants vs. Zombies 2: its About Time is easily one of the best mobile games of the year, and with the launch of the Android version of the game now available millions of users are putting plants in the ground and fending off zombies. For those struggling to collect Stars and progress through the game, here are some helpful tips and strategies for the game.
One simple strategy that could help users is to plant sunflower plants in the second to last row and not the very last row. The logic behind this is that if things get dire, the back row acts as a last line of defense so they can continue to pummel zombies. If sunflowers are in the very back, then users will not be able to defend themselves if zombies breach their defenses.
Another simple strategy is using wall-nuts and melee plants correctly. By placing plants such as bonk choys and snapdragon plants directly behind wall-nuts, then can damage zombies as they attempt to chew through the tough defensive plants. Spending plant food on the wall-nuts to add an extra defensive boost as well as placing spikeweeds in front of the wall-nuts to add extra damage to the attacking zombies. This could be a simple but effective strategy for challenges where users have restrictions on sun use or the amount of plants a user can has.
If players are trying to get access the areas of worlds blocked off by gates, users should look out for the randomly spawning yeti that will appear. The yeti can sometimes drop multiple keys if defeated, so players so save up their plant food and launch an all out attack on the creature when he appears during one of the big waves of zombies.
In the pirate world of the game, usually several lanes are shorter than usual, and zombies will swing or launch themselves over the water to get to the plants. An easy way to deal with these difficult zombies is to place a spring bean on the very first tile of these short lanes. Zombies will bounce back into the water without getting a chance to advance. A similar strategy for these levels is to place spikeweeds along the level so that barrel zombies are defeated early and the munchkin zombies they spawn may land in the water as opposed to on land.
Using these tips and hints players should have an easier time playing through Plants vs. Zombies 2.
