A Cry for Helpdesk - Level 1 is the first level of the A Cry for Helpdesk event in Penny's Pursuit. It has bonus objectives and zombie swaps, just like any other Penny's Pursuit level.

Difficulty

ZCorp Consultant and the newly introduced ZCorp HelpDesk can make an devastating combo as soon as HelpDesk touches the ground. With Consultant also making dangerous zombies such as All-Star Zombie switch lanes, she, along with any nearby zombies should be defeated before they are dispersed. HelpDesk on the other hand, should be defeated while hanging, as his laptop will damage zombies instead if killed that way.

In Penny's Pursuit, the zombies in a level can swap depending on the difficulty chosen.

Strategies

Required plants:
Try to place two columns of Sunflowers, Apple Mortar on 2 and 4 line to counter Zcorp consultant, one column of Pokra to counter strong zombies and one column of Tall-nuts to defend all of the plants.
If a zombie eats through all of your defenses, you have a Lawn Mower to kill all of the zombies in that row. Zombies will not spawn on that row for a while, so it will give you time to fix your defenses.
Use Magnet-shroom to counter buckets and head of football zombies
