Last Stand- Best Money Farming Strategy for 9 Slots only

Last Stand is a great place for Money/Coin Farming, because it lets you plant before zombies show up, making this easier to pull off. However, a very similar strategy to this is doable in Survival: Day, if you don't have Last Stand: Endless.

Plants Used

 * Garlic - To deter zombies from Gloom-Shrooms
 * Gloom-Shrooms - To kill zombies (Don't forget, Glooms take 3 seed slots: Coffee Bean, Fume-Shroom + the Gloom upgrade)
 * Marigolds - To produce money
 * Gold Magnets - To collect the money the Marigolds produce (Don't forget, these take 2 seed slots: 1 for Magnet Shroom + 1 for Gold upgrade)
 * Tall-Nuts - To protect the MariGolds
 * Lilipads - To plant in the pool PvZ Flag 2+ Plant Build.jpg

Other Plants Used (For Subsequent Flags)


 * Pumpkins - For added plant protection
 * Spikeweeds - To help kill zombies
 * Cat-Tails - To shoot down Balloon zombies
 * Umbrella Leaf - To defend plants from Bungee zombies and Catapult zombies

Strategy
To start, plant 2 Garlics side by side in Rows 2 and 5 in the squares closest to where the zombies appear on the right side of the screen (Columns 8 and 9) Placing two in succession like this will get Pole Vault zombies to switch lanes as well. (Since Pole Vaulters jump over the 1st plant they come into contact with) Next, in the same Rows plant 3 Gloom-Shrooms directly behind the 2 Garlics. (Columns 5, 6 and 7)

Next, plant Tall-Nuts in Rows 1, 3, 4 and 5 in Column 5, so they are on the same line as your 3rd Gloom-Shrooms. Then, plant the Gold Magnets directly behind your 3rd Gloom-Shrooms (Column 4). You will be good with only using 2 Gold Magnets to farm the coins.

Fill the rest of your lawn with MariGolds, as long as you keep them behind the Tall-Nuts. (Refer to Beginning/First Flag Plant Build picture)

After beating the first flag, you'll get the option to re-pick your plants. At this point, you can take out the Magnet Shroom and Gold Magnet upgrade and instead pick the Spikeweed and Pumpkins.

Plant Pumpkins on all the Tall-Nuts, and place Spikeweeds in the land Columns that have the Tall-Nuts (Rows 1 and 6, Columns 6-9).

Once you've completed the 2nd flag, you can start planting Pumpkins on the Gloom-Shrooms, and bring Cat-Tails with you, planting them in the 2 Pool lanes directly behind the Tall-Nuts to (eventually) shoot down the Balloon Zombies.

Depending on which zombies you get on each subsequent flag, you can bring with you the Umbrella Leaf and plant these in Row 2 and Row 5, Column 2 to protect the back plants from Bungee zombies and the Catapult zombie.

On the flag when Digger zombies show up, you can plant Gloom-Shrooms in Rows 1 and 6, Column 2 (so they are aligned with the Umbrella Leafs) so the Diggers don't eat through your Marigold farm.

This set-up should allow you to survive pretty much until the Gargantuar zombies show up. In this time, you should also rack up quite a lot of coins. My first time playing this Money Farm strategy, took me to Flag 12, and I racked up around 20-30k.

Note: Make sure you save yourself at least 200 sun each build, so you can replace the 4 Garlics. Once you have the Umbrella Leafs and back Glooms planted, you can pick some of the Explosive plants to bring with you into each flag, to help you kill off the Gargantuars. Mallets are also good to have for this, but they take (about) 14 seconds to re-fill.
