Formerly Epic Quest: Solar Tomato!

This Epic Quest features 5 (6 steps before 2020) steps of Premium Plant Quest for Solar Tomato. The reward is an Premium Pinata that contains 50 Seed packets (Before 2020 it was 50 Seed Packets for Solar Tomato). It lasted from September 5th, 2017 to September 12th, 2017, January 9th, 2018 to January 16th, 2018, June 5th, 2018 to June 12th, 2018, July 4, 2019 to July 11, 2019, March 18, 2020 to March 25, 2020, April 6, 2020 to April 13, 2020, and August 25, 2021 to September 1, 2021.

Step 1

Thanks to Solar Tomato, you can easily stun dangerous zombies such as, Pharaoh Zombie and Explorer Zombie. And since there are 2 Solar Tomato's seed packets, you can easily stun zombies at a constant rate. Threepeater is the only attacking plant, but it is expensive. So try planting as much Sunflowers as possible and stun lots of zombies using Solar Tomato. Stall zombies using Wall-nut, Iceberg Lettuce (can also extinguish flames), and Stallia. Keep in mind you have 200 sun, which is a great headstart.

Dialogue

Penny: Solar Tomato stuns zombies in a 3x3 area with each stunned zombie giving 50 sun.
Penny: Use it to stun large crowds of zombies.

Waves

The small number next to the zombie icon means that zombie will always appear in that lane, with 1 being the topmost lane and 5 being the bottommost lane.

Step 2

Plant as much Twin Sunflowers as possible if you want to easily plant Winter Melons since they are expensive. However Snow Pea should be used in the first few waves since they are not that expensive. as always use Solar Tomato when there are crowds of zombies. Beware at the final wave, there will be three Gargantuar's so that means you have to stun and attack them as much as possible to win.

Step 3

This level is very challenging due to the fact you can only have 3 sun-producing plant and you could only rely on Solar Tomato., The best way to get constant amount of sun is when, Disco-tron 3000 summons 4 Disco Jetpack Zombies and stunning on the tile where Disco-tron 3000 can stun more than 5 zombies, thus giving 300 sun which is enough for a Citron. Citrons should easily take out Future Conehead Zombies and any additional Disco Jetpack Zombies. However, you will need a lot of them, to easily take out zombies very fast. Try avoid using Blover on bot swarms to easily get rid of unwanted Bug Bot Imps, use Plant Food to easily gain sun from Sun-shroom.

Step 4

With Primal Sunflower, the level should be a bit better, however remember that you only have 3 Primal Sunflowers on the lawn, so sun production is paramount. Hot Potato should be use to defrost Frozen blocks that are pushed by Troglobite, and using a Solar Tomato on three defrosted Yeti Imp and Troglobite will stun four zombies (possibly more) giving 200 sun or more, which is enough for a Pepper-pult. Use Pepper-pult for the first few wave then planting Melon-pults. When Sloth Gargantuars spawn, try stunning them with Stunion. Use Pepper-pult to block incoming snowballs from Hunter Zombie to avoid frozen plants. Use Plant Food on Primal Sunflower to increase sun.

Note: - carries two Frozen blocks

Step 5

This dangerous thing about this level is that the only attacking plants you have is Magnifying Grass which can easily be stalled by Boombox Zombie or destroyed by Hair Metal Gargantuar. You also need to use sun for Magnifying Grass to attack, so it is recommended to stun large groups of zombies to easily gain lots of sun. Breakdancer Zombie can easily push zombies which can overwhelm you, so you have to kill them fast or stun them. Chances are that if one of your Magnifying Grass are eaten, you may have to restart the level.
