Mainly, Draftodil can easily flick off Seagull Zombie easily, and the 50% chance should easily flick off Impunks as well as Roman Imps. Use Tall-nut to stall the Imps and Seagull Zombies until they are finally flick off, which is why multiple Draftodil should be placed to easily flick off zombies, Tombstones can prevent Draftodil from damaging zombies, another reason why you need several Draftodil in each lane.

Keep note that zombies inside sandstorms will require more than one hit, because the first hit will always stop the Sandstorm from reach its stopping point. Although Jester Zombie can't deflect any projectiles in this step, since Draftodil deals weak damage, easily destroying them will take a while, so in the meantime stall them with Tall-nuts. Use Plant Food on Draftodil to easily flick off many zombie in the lane.

Protecting the endangered Red Stingers should be easy to protect because the endangered Sweet Potato can attract zombies from the endangered Red Stingers' lane, so that they can't eat him.

However, Pirate Captain Zombie can summoned Zombie Parrots which can steal the endangered plants, thus losing the level. This is why Draftodil is important to blow away the Zombie Parrot, so that they can't steal any plants. Draftodil is also helpful because he can blow away Balloon Zombie and Disco Jetpack Zombie summoned from Disco-tron 3000, making Disco-tron 3000 less of a threat.

Fire Peashooter is your main firepower, as she should be enough to destroy Pirate Captain Zombie and Glitter Zombie. However, Imp Dragon Zombie is immune to Fire Peashooters, so use the plant Spikeweed to damage him - 2 of them can easily defeat them. Try planting one next to the endangered Sweet Potato, so that when eating, the attracted zombies will be damaged. Potato Mine is best against Disco-tron 3000, because he can easily reduce half of his health. Plant Food should be given to him so that they can spawn more Potato Mine to deal devastating damage, but using it on Sweet Potato when she is about to be eaten makes her fully strong again, while Fire Peashooter can also be fed Plant Food to clear out a lane of zombies. The best thing about this level is that there is no Jams.

Since Contain-mint boosts Draftodil, it will be significantly much more stronger than level one, easy enough to destroy Pirate Zombies, Conehead Pirates, and Buckethead Pirates. And as always, they can easily blow away Swashbuckler Zombie, Seagull Zombies, Pelican Zombies, and Imps shot out of Imp Cannons but when boosted by Contain-mint, chances of flicking of Imps is higher.

However, it is not a good plant against triads of Roman Shield Zombie since they can easily overwhelm Draftodil, Guacodile can easily reduce his health which the powerful bite he has (it's best to put them in lane 2 and 3 since that's where most zombies spawn), Homing Thistle should target any zombies that are close, which are usually Roman Shield Zombies.

Gargantuars should be easily stalled by Draftodil (better when boosted by Contain-mint) while Guacodile can deal some good amount of damage, the summoned Imps should be blown off by Draftodil. Use Plant Food on Guacodile to deal severe damage in his lane, or Homing Thistle to attack several zombies with serious damage.

It is strongly advised to plant the level 10 Draftodil on the only minecart as soon as you get her. Zombie Chickens appear before you can even make a proper defense, so use the minecart as an advantage. The aforementioned Zombie Chicken should be dealt before the other zombies, since the former will rush quickly to the left of the lawn if kept unmanaged.

Chompers and Shrinking Violets are available at the start of the level. Shrinking Violet can be used to weaken zombies such as: Knight Zombie (which really helps) so that they are allowed Draftodil to flick them off, while Chomper can eat remove a zombie if you do not have enough time to deal with it. Jetpack Zombie and Blastronaut Zombie should not be a problem because since they are airborne, they can be easily flicked off. After several waves, Pumpkins and regular plant level Draftodil's are available. Place the Pumpkins on the Chompers so that the later are protected during the vulnerable state, while Draftodils should be placed left of the Chompers to make full use of both plants. Keep, note that Chomper will still have to chew shrunken zombies instead of more problematic zombies, so try to flick them off fast as you can.

In the later waves, more Zombie Chickens would spawn; however, they will be killed as soon as they encounter the Chompers. Use Plant Food on Chomper to clear out his lane a bit and push them back or on Draffodil (if there are several shurken zombies on the lane) to flick them off.

This level shouldn't be so hard, as the plant that were given out to you can easily help you win the level. First off sun production should be easy, as Gold Bloom can give you a headstart on sun, be sure to plant it on a Gold Tile so that you can earn an additional sun. After that, start planting Primal Sunflowers which should be limited to one or two columns, and be sure to also plant some on Gold Tiles to get additional sun.

Barrel Roller Zombie easiest weakness is Spikerock so that the Barrels can break and the Imps summoned should be easily flicked off by Draftodil, is is better to plant them on Gold Tiles so that you can earn sun but also prevents Imp Porters from spawning Tents while damaging zombies, however Troglobites can instantly crush Spikeweed and the Frozen blocks can be a problem since they act as obstacles for Draftodil, to prevent it from moving Ice Blocks, plant Imp Pear to transform him into an Imp Pear Imp which makes him lose the ability of pushing Ice Blocks. Not only that, but Imp Pears are essential for this level because they can easily transform zombies to Imps and be flicked off by Draftodil.

Use Primal Wall-nut to stall zombies until they are flicked off, for zombies that can't be flicked off, then make sure Spikerocks are next to him when he is being stalled so that they will eventually be defeated. Aside from that, most zombies here are airborne, so: Bug Bot Imps, Blastronaut Zombie, Bug Conehead Zombies, and Relic Hunter Zombie can easily be blown away by Draftodil.

Contain-mint can easily boost Draftodil and make her stronger dealing more damage and having a higher chance of flicking off a zombie, but don't use it constantly but in scenarios where zombies can easily overwhelm your Draftodil, Contain-mint can allow Draftodil to deal more damage and stall zombies for a bit. When the Sloth Gargantuar's come, use Plant Food on Imp Pear to transform him into a weak Imp, however with lots of zombies the chances are low, so be sure to have several Plant Food ready. Besides that, use Plant Food on Contain-mint to Instant Recharge it, so that is is available to be planted during hard times.
