Merge Plants Guide: Tips, Cheats & Strategies to Defeat Waves of Zombies

1. Interface Made Easy

Before diving right into resource management and strategies, let’s first talk about the game interface. In the above image, we’ve broken down the screen into the basic elements, and numbered them accordingly. We’ll talk about them one by one.

Numbered interface

FAST GIFT: It’s raining… plants, hallelujah! The first item on our interface tour allows you to place plants on your lawn more quickly, as if those plants are manna from heaven. Unboosted, using this feature will automatically provide you with a decent-leveled plant (which scales depending on the highest-leveled plant you have) every fifteen seconds. Having this around is both a blessing and a curse. It’s a blessing since you receive free plants every 1.5 seconds. It’s curse because you might be overwhelmed by the amount of plants you have in your backyard. But having too much plants is a good problem to have. More plants mean less zombies marching towards you.

ANGRY PLANTS: Angry plants! That growth formula seems to have been made of jalapeños. This part of the interface gives your plants a speed boost for a short period of time. This effect is not very dramatic – it’s not going to make a lot of difference when used. But sometimes this small boost in speed will help your plants deal the smallest bit of damage left needed to take down a nearly fallen zombie. Use this in a pinch, or as regularly as you want. The choice is yours.

PLANT QUICK BUY: The third on our list is called the Plant Quick Buy button. The plant that you will be able to quick buy is usually a few levels higher than the plant you automatically get on the fifteen second interval. This will then change depending on the highest-leveled plant that you have. One thing to take note of is that the more times you buy a certain plant, the higher the cost of buying that same plant will be the next time around. Let’s talk about small optimizations on that idea later on, but simply clicking this whenever you have enough money will also do the trick.

THE PLANT STORE: The fourth on our list is the plant store. This will be your one-stop-shop the moment that the plant in your quick buy button becomes too expensive. Without having the option to buy the quick buy plant, you can still buy other plants not readily visible to you. To make these plants appear, just click the Plant Store button, and you will have access to all the other plants you have available. Each plant listed on the Plant Store will also have its passive abilities written beside their images. As for now, these passive abilities won’t do much. But later on in the end-game, choosing the plants with the right passive abilities will spell the difference between becoming a successful plant merger and becoming zombie feed.

DOUBLE RICH BOOST: Just like the Fast Gift feature, this one is also optional and is not at all needed to progress further into the game. Admittedly, having the option to have double money drops per kill will make your progression much faster. You might consider using this if you need a few more coins to buy that next plant that is delaying your merging and progression. However, if you’re playing actively, this is the kind of boost that you will keep on using. Having more money is always good news for the active player.

AUTO MERGE: The last one for our interface tour is the Auto Merge feature. We highly recommend you use this when you activate the Fast Gift feature. The two features work hand-in-hand. You won’t have to worry about getting overrun by too much plants in your backyard. When two plants of the same type and level appear, they will automatically be merged (and become a stronger version of the plant). This will clear off land, allowing you to place even more plants. Without Fast Gift activated, Auto Merge is wasted. Make sure to use them together always.

2. Get Off My Lawn

One of the things that you will first notice about the game, excluding the zombies that are waltzing through the side, will be the slots in your back lawn. Limited as they may be, they provide you ample space to get your plants and merge them together.

The game starts with six accessible slots to put your plants in, which will become filled as time passes thanks to the free plants falling from the sky.

Four hours for the unlock… tick tock tick tock

Our main goal now is to unlock the six extra slots. Doing so will give us more space to get more plants. This is easy to do because the unlocks require very minimal resources. Don’t fret about the one plot of land that demands gems since you will eventually get these gems by unlocking higher leveled plants.

The only hurdle that you might experience while unlocking the extra plots of land is the time constraint on each unlock. This time requirement, which is implemented when you unlock via coins and not gems, increases with each subsequent unlock. We knew before playing this game that gardening takes some time – we just thought the wait involves growing the plants themselves, not in preparing the soil.

Anyway, there is no reason for you to keep your low-level plants since they just take up too much space. The higher the level of a plant that you have, the higher damage output they provide. Upgrading a plant will almost double the damage that it deals. Keep this in mind as this will be the main concept of the game.

3. Get More Plants, Here’s How

One thing that you might see floating around your screen, literally, is the plant fairy. She zips from left to right then to the left again on the upper part of your screen before exiting your game entirely. If you miss her, don’t worry. She’ll be back after a few minutes. Try clicking on her before she leaves, though. When you catch her, she’ll give you a bonus in return of watching an ad or by paying her with gems.

Please grant me my wish. Pretty please?

With the fairy’s blessing, you will be instantly granted four plants that are just slightly weaker than the plant in your Quick Buy button. The collective power of these plants is almost always double the plant on your Quick Buy. This small progression is optional and is not necessary but try to grab the opportunity before it flies away!
