LC-IX

## **LC-IX: Raider Rally**

**LC-IX**, also known as **Raider Rally**, is the ninth and second to last main level of Lost City in *Alternate UniverZ*. After completing this level, the player receives a Note.

## Dialogue

(At the start of the level)

Penny: Attention, I'm detecting some odd patterns from the Relic Hunters.

Penny: They will appear in a line of five, at the farthest column.

Penny: But progressively getting closer as the waves go by.

Penny: You could say that they are...

Penny: ...\*calculating\*...

Penny: in full swing.

Crazy Dave: You did it, Penny! You made a pun!

Penny: Years of data collecting not wasted.

Penny: Now, can we focus on how should we deal with the upcoming situation?

Crazy Dave: Oh yeah, that doesn't smell good!

Crazy Dave: Neighbor! I think it's time for a change!

Crazy Dave: Maybe, try planting attacking plants in the back, behind your sun producers?

Penny: I can't believe this day has come.

(After the player picks up the note)

Crazy Dave: ...Huh? No Relic Hunters in the final wave?

Crazy Dave: I guess the zombies aren't as evil as I thought!

Penny: Actually, data shows that the further these zombies jump in, the more tired they become.

Penny: And they actually deal less damage, if you haven't noticed.

Crazy Dave: So I was stressed for NOTHING???

Penny: I prefer to think that they miscounted the number of columns.

Crazy Dave: Come on, I'm pretty sure the zombies can at least count up to nine!

Crazy Dave: Another treasure map! I wanna go see the destination!

Penny: I think we ARE the destination, user Dave.

Crazy Dave: Huh, weird how they drew just one brain when there are three! Two organic and one mechanic!

## Tips

* The newly received Lava Guava is quite versatile, as his explosion will take care of weaker zombies nearby, while the created lava could do devastating amounts of damage to tougher threats. This can prove to be very useful in various situations, whether be the early zombies, a large cluster of zombies pressuring your plants, or a tough zombie getting past your defenses. Using him with defensive plants such as Wall-nut, Tall-nut or Endurian is also a good idea, as they can hold the zombies on the lava, burning them extensively.
* As the penultimate level of Lost City, brace yourself for special Relic Hunter Zombies swinging closer and closer to your house every time on all lanes, going as far as the second column. As such, it is incredibly encouraged to place your attacking plants at the far left, as they will be able to deal with the Relic Hunter Zombies this way. Furthermore, considering the appearance of both Parasol Zombie and Excavator Zombie, as well as the multiple Parachute Rain ambushes, piercing plants like Bloomerang, Laser Bean and Fume-shroom should be used, as they can deal damage to all of them at the same time, while hitting Turquoise Skull Zombies at the back as well. Affording them quicker by dominating Gold Tiles will be important as well, since the Relic Hunter Zombies will come pretty early on.

## Waves

*The small number next to the zombie icon means that zombie will always appear in that lane, with 1 being the topmost lane and 5 being the bottommost one.*
