How to Beat Level 19 Plants vs Zombies 2?
Level 19 in Plants vs Zombies 2 is considered as one of the most challenging levels due to the appearance of new zombie specializations and the introduction of obstacles, such as moving platforms and changing landscape. In this article, we will provide the best strategies to help you beat Level 19 and progress to the next.
Understanding the Level Structure
Before we dive into the strategic part, let’s take a closer look at the level structure. Level 19 introduces a new gameplay mechanic: dynamic terrain. The landscape is divided into three sections, and each section consists of multiple platforms. Some sections are stationary, while others are moving leftward or rightward.
**Initial Setup**
When you start the game for the first time, you’ll have limited cash and a limited number of slots on your plant grid. Here are our top picks for the first set-up:
- Peashooters: Place 3 to 4 Peashooters strategically to deal with the regular walkers.
- Chomper: Place 1 to 2 Chompers to take out Jumping Jacks.
- Repeater: Place 2 to 3 Repeaters to blast normal zombies.
**Strategy for the First Section**
The first section is relatively straightforward; you’ll face normal, regular zombies. Here are the must-knows:
- Position yourself wisely: Place your plants a few spaces away from the ladder to give yourself a longer range.
- Use Peashooters and Repeaters to defend: Use your Peashooters and Repeaters to deal massive damage to the zombies.
- Prepare for the second section: Finish off any remaining zombies before the platform carrying the second section approaches.
**Strategy for the Second Section**
The second section includes moving platforms and new zombies: Snorkel Zombies and Zombie Bullies. Here’s what you need to keep in mind:
- Time those jumps wisely: Place Repeaters on the moving platforms that jump over the gap to target zombie bullies.
- Focus on Snorkel Zombies: Snorkel Zombies can jump over platforms so be prepared to take them out while they’re airborne.
- Stay cool under pressure: Level 19 can get intense, but maintain the pace and stay focused to emerge triumphant.
**Endgame Strategy**
In the final section, you’ll see a mix of regular zombies, Jumping Jacks, and Snorkel Zombies.
Endgame Tips
• Try to prioritize Snorkel Zombies over regular ones with your Peashooters and Repeater.
• If all else fails, use Chomper to take out Jumping Jacks.
• Use the remaining slots at the end to set up for any approaching zombies.
