Jester Zombie eliminates the usage of Kernel-pult, and also makes it difficult to fully use Pea-nut, as Pea-nut must be used to defend from Knight Zombies. Wizard Zombies will come hard in this level, as many zombies will shield it, giving it time to turn plants into sheep. Sun Tombstones in the beginning should be destroyed quickly, so more sun can be available.
Iceberg Lettuce will prove to be very versatile in the early stages of this level, as it will really help stalling the early zombies. The beginning of the level can struggle players easily, as sun is very limited, and the player must use either Kernel-pult, Fume-shroom, or Pea-nut to defeat the first few zombies, all of which have more than a 100 sun cost.
The addition that Zombie King appears in this level, as well as many tombstones appearing early in the level, adds to the difficulty. Magnet-shroom and Grave Buster are not given in this level, even though they are nearly crucial in most Dark Ages levels. However, with the given plants, the zombies will prove to be relentless and difficult to overcome. The player is allowed to use the premium plant Pea-nut in this level.
