Strategy

On lower difficulties the Jalapeno popper perk will help take out Wizard Zombies faster. On higher ones however, they have way too much health, so the anti-gravity perk will perform better. For all difficuties the quick delivery perk will be a good choice. As for the plants themselves, save Ghost Pepper for Pirate Captains, Wizards and possible Gladiator Gargantuar spawns. Use Shrinking Violet for Gargantuars, as they won't be able to throw their Imps and nets. Plant Laser Beans and Lightning Reeds in the back for them to be able to do maximum damage to other zombies. Also, try to protect the endangered plants as much as possible, as they will be helpful against the Centurion Zombies near the end of the level.
