Defense Basics Support & Tips

Focus on planting Sunflowers early to generate a steady supply of sun while using low-cost offensive plants like Peashooters to fend off initial zombie waves. Gradually add defensive plants like Wall-nuts to protect your key attackers and maintain balance.

Try repositioning your plants for better coverage, prioritize using area-effect plants like Cherry Bombs to clear groups, and manage your sun wisely to deploy powerful plants at critical moments. Practice and experimentation will help you develop stronger strategies over time.
