Pyromaniac is an achievement that can be obtained on the iOS, PlayStation Vita, Android, and Nook versions of Plants vs. Zombies. In order to unlock it, the player must win a level of Plants vs. Zombies using only explosive plants to kill zombies. The easiest way to get it on the iPad version is by completing Buttered Popcorn.
You can also use sun producing plants as they do not kill zombies, but Lawn Mowers, Pool Cleaners, Garden Rakes, and Roof Cleaners cannot be used to obtain this achievement. You cannot use other instants (except the Coffee Bean) like Blovers, Hypno-shrooms, Tangle Kelp, Umbrella Leaf, Squash, or Chomper. Generally speaking, anything that shoots the zombies are not allowed (except for the Cob Cannon, although you could theoretically plant and upgrade or dig one before it shoots). If you attempt to plant a Cob Cannon, it requires two Kernel-pults, so only plant them when there are no zombies in that lane or you will not be able to get this achievement because the Kernel-pults might kill a zombie.
You can get this achievement in Quick Play. The easiest and best way to get this achievement is in Level 1-1. Choose the Sunflower, Garlic, Jalapeno, Cherry Bomb, Doom-shroom, Imitater Doom-shroom, Coffee Bean, Potato Mine and whatever else you may want, that do not attack zombies. As the achievement states, you can only use explosive plants to kill zombies. Stockpile Doom-shrooms behind Garlic so they are safe and you do not have to wait as long between uses. If you have shooting or lobbed-shot plants, you cannot achieve this, but it is not very different from any other level, so it can be beaten easily. Or just play Level 2-10 using only Doom-shrooms and Ice-shrooms will gain the achievement much more easily than another way. The main difficulty of this achievement is the recharge time. Whenever a huge wave of zombies appear, place two Garlic on two lanes, and use a Cherry Bomb to blow up the zombies, but you will get Explodonator first, instead of Pyromaniac. If you see too many zombies, use a Doom-shroom to blow them all up, but when you are in the final wave, divert more zombies, and use a Cherry Bomb and get the money bag, and you will achieve this. You may also want to use Twin Sunflowers if necessary to rack up your total sun. A word of warning - if you have bought the Garden Rake, you will not get this achievement until the rake disappears.
Alternatively, it can be easily obtained in Level 2-1. Choose Sun-shroom, Cherry Bomb, Doom-shroom, Wall-nuts, Tall-nuts, Pumpkins, Potato Mine and Jalapeno. Kill the first two or three zombies with Potato Mines, while building four lines of Sun-shroom. As soon as zombies start to come faster, slow them down with Wall-nuts, Tall-nuts, and Pumpkins and use a Doom-shroom to reset the situation when you attain 125 suns. Continue to setup until you reach four lines of Sun-shroom, then you will have plenty of sun to spam Cherry Bomb and Jalapeno. When a line is quiet (no zombies) put a preventive Potato Mine. When there are many zombies on screen, Doom-shroom to reset. If you can, add an Imitater Doom-shroom for additional power, but the level can be won without it.
As said before, you can only use explosives to kill zombies, so do not buy the Garden Rake and make sure no zombies reach the Lawn Mowers, Pool Cleaners or Roof Cleaners. It is recommended to do this in Level 1-1, if possible, because it is the easiest level. At the beginning of the level, plant a Sunflower at the top left corner of the lawn. Whenever you can plant a Sunflower towards the left of the lawn, but make sure you do not go past the second column. When the first zombie comes, plant a Potato Mine or Imitator Potato Mine ahead of him as much as you can. Do this for most of the zombies that approach. If there is a small group of zombies that you cannot handle with Potato Mine, use a Cherry Bomb. If there is a lane with lots of zombies, use a Jalapeno. If there is a huge wave of zombies, use a Doom-shroom and wake it up with a Coffee Bean. When you have around 700 sun, plant a Kernel-pult, and quickly plant another in front of it, before they kill a zombie. Then, upgrade them to a Cob Cannon (do not do this until you have at least 700 sun and the Cob Cannon is completely recharged). Using this strategy, you will probably win the level and unlock this achievement.
Do this on Level 1-1 or 1-2. Plant your Sunflowers in rows one and five, upgrading them when you have enough Sun. When the first zombie comes, plant a Potato Mine as far back to the left as possible. After you gain enough sun, begin planting Garlics in in column two of rows one, three and five. After this, begin to plant your stockpile of Doom-shrooms in row three, then in the empty spots of one and five. Use Coffee Bean to wake up a Doom-shroom, but remember not to go overboard and use Doom-shrooms to take out single zombies, using Potato Mines instead. Use the other instants when necessary, or when there are no Doom-shrooms. Plant Potato Mines, Wall-nuts, or Tall-nuts at the end of rows two and four as a last resort protection. After this is set up, the game is a cakewalk.
This strategy is best used in 1-1 or 1-2. Just plant your Sunflowers and Potato Mines as you normally would. Then plant Garlic in every row except one. This will force all the zombies into one lane, so you can roast them with Jalapenos.
Note: If you are going to use Cob Cannons to complete this, you must upgrade it quickly so the Kernel-pults do not kill anything because it will make you have to play the level again to get the achievement as Kernel-pults are not explosive.
Plant Sunflowers in lanes one, three, five and two Garlics in front of each of those lanes. When a zombie comes, use Potato Mine. When there are more zombies, use Cherry Bomb and use its Imitater form when it is recharging. Use the Doom-shroom during every flag.
Start of by planting Sunflowers in the back column. When the first zombie comes, you should have at least three Sunflowers. Place a Wall-nut in front of it. Then continue adding sunflowers. When the second zombie comes, place an Imitater wall-nut in front of it and keep an eye on the first Wall-nut while you place more Sunflowers. When the third zombie comes add a Tall-nut in front of it. Now be very careful of the first and second wall-nuts and if you think they are badly damaged, use Wall-nut First Aid on it. Place a Pumpkin and a Wall-nut (if fully recharged). Now keep placing Sunflowers, upgrading Sunflowers to Twin Sunflowers (if available), replacing old defensive plants with new ones and planting Jalapenos (if available) and Cherry Bombs (if available) in places with many zombies. Once many zombies come, use a Doom-shroom to destroy them all. Also use the Ice-shroom if you need the Doom-shroom but it is still recharging.
Simply don't use any Peashooters in the level. If they fill the conveyor belt completely, plant them on lanes with no zombies and dig them up immedietely. This will also get you the Don't Pea in the Pool achievement.
I am on fog, level 9 which has a lot of fog zombies. Given the choice of doom shroom or cherry bomb, which one should I take? I can't take both because then I would not have enough room for other plants. Given the choice, which one should I take over the other?
So it all comes down to situation and personal skill but personally I would go for the Cherry Bomb. The reason for this is that when placed on the front a cherry bomb can clear half the enemy wave. In combination with the Cattails (which you should pretty much always use in pool levels)(or other multi lane shooters) this works perfectly. The whole range of the Doom Shroom is overkill and only needed when you already made such big mistakes you might as well restart the level or if it's literally the last wave that is coming. because if you use it sooner outside of a lily pad it will effectively cripple your defenses by one tile for the entire level and if you use it on a lily pad it loses it's cost effectiveness bonus reducing the only upside the Doom shroom has it's unnecessary large range.
The only levels I would see Doom Shrooms as a better choice is when you forgot to use plants that can shoot backwards or otherwise defend against digger/bungee zombies or Imps. But then it would just be better not to forget picking those plants instead of the Doom Shroom.
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.
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.
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.
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.
