It is impossible to make completely afk setup (even in pool). Because we can't make setup that immune to gigas and jacks. If the setup are immune to gigas, this can be vulnerable to jacks. Then, if the setup are immune to jacks, this can be vulnerable to gigas, gargantuar, zomboni, and footballs.

[@edwardyeeto]

The only thing stopping this from being truly AFK is dolphin riders taking small bites from the glooms in the 7th column and digger zombies taking bites from the gloom and umbrella plants at the back, which eventually could destroy the plants and if you are afk you wouldnt be able to do anything eventually leading to it being destroyed. also jack in the box zombies could ruin everything with one little bit of bad luck

[@vi410Sv-Gaming]

You can't ladder the pumpkins in the pool and starfruit can stop Jack-in-the-box Zombie

​@@vi410Sv-Gamingnope, only instant can stop jack zombies..they are a real pain in the ass

[@mounib5459]

"digger zombies taking bites from the gloom and umbrella plants at the back" actually no. Because of pumkin's bigger hitbox, the digger zombie doesn't have to walk to start eating it. By my testing, if the pumpkin isn't there, the digger will have to walk slightly forward and it is possible for 2 glooms to kill him before he reaches the actual plant

[@Gloom_Shroom_Gaming]

Interesting! In survival endless I usually use 8 cob cannons that require a lot of micro, along with a similar setup to yours at the back. The main problem is usually zombonis since they aren't slowed down by winter melons, and sometimes gargs throw their imps just barely short enough to hit the cob cannons.

[@dangductran2926]

8 cobs are usually not enough, even 14 or 16 cobs setups still require lots of micro, since it take 4 shot to kill a Giga.

[@Gloom_Shroom_Gaming]

@dangductran2926 Yeah, I already changed my setup to have 10 cob cannons. It takes 3 shots to kill a giga by the way, not 4.

WHA- I honestly don't think it's possible to add anything to this, too. Everything is pixel-perfect. Well done. I wonder if this works in survival endless. (I mean, it should, the knly issue would be extremely bad RNG with jack-in-the box zombies, but it works, especially with instas and backup plants)

[@ScaffoldPvZ]

it can't because you have no sunflowers so even if you bring backup plants, you'll run out of sun

[@J_-_]

You can actually improve it by adding flower pots under every ground plant, which adds a slight bit of extra defence. obviously jack-in-the-box zombies get through but discounting that, the setup is so OP that you don't need to add flower pots just 'incase' stuff goes wrong because it won't. the ladders are a very nice touch to the strategy as well.

Played this so much when I was younger. Played through many times and definitely played quite a bit of endless. The only thing I figured was the best was to do a bunch of cob cannons. I didn’t even know anyone else did that since I never looked up guides and such as a kid. Never in my life would a come to the conclusion that gloom shrooms, ice melons, and starfruit would be the solution to getting further than I ever thought possible. I mean 5000 wtf that’s crazy?! I’ll say this too, I have never seen a gargantuar with red eyes wth is that??? I had so much time on this game and that is new to me.

[@STONKS_MemeMan]

You should try replacing those two star fruits at the front there with magnet shrooms

[@Emulysse]

chances of it picking jack in the boxes amidst all the diggers, footballs, ladders and bucketheads are pretty slim. Plus it will eventually grab the nearby placed ladders which may ruin the strategy You can put golden magnets instead if u dont feel like collecting all the coins however

[@qballin1523]

I played with it and sadly Jacks cause it's downfall since (at least from my experience) instant spam cant keep up with them, and unfortunately if the zombies are in the right set up giga-gargantuars can sometimes crush the 6th column gloom shroom before they die. But it's nice having a set up where you don't have to constantly manage cob-cannons or instant (outside of rounds with jacks)

[@isaliscalispal3900]

How do you get the ladders set up? I’m asking because every time I tried, my setup failed miserably because I couldn’t get the ladders set up right!

[@MasterlyRex8789]

I don’t know which issue you have with ladders but if it’s the issue of ladder zombies dying, just keep the gloom shrooms asleep without coffee bean and only wake them up after you’re done laddering.

This could work! Against all the other zombies (excluding Giga-Gargantuar and Gargantuar) will just die easily for Jack-In-A-Boxes just replace whatever is missing although it can be expensive and not an AFK strategy just hope RNG doesn't make these kind of zombies explode this will work about 97% only as an AFK strategy but it's the most out of everything so it technically still counts cus when rounded to the nearest tens it's 100%
