Trying to get the China Shop Achievement? I know how you feel. Honestly, I got to a streak of 14 TWICE before getting the achievement. You're gonna need a lot of patience and free time to get this right. Otherwise, you might as well quit.

First things first, the Tree of Wisdom is right on one fact, but once you go over a streak of 10, it won't turn out well.

So let's start with the plants.

First off, plant them the farthest you can. Don't plant them in the middle at all!

Peashooter: The weakest one you'll get and overall you get only one, which is good. These should go on the top or bottom of those lanes.

Split Peashooter: All the time those are on the right side. It is recommended you have one on each lane and stack the ones where there are Bucket Zombies or Gargantuan Zombies.

Triple Peashooter: These are your grails. If you let those disappear in the game, then you're gonna have a terrible time. Keep one in the middle lane and one below or on top of it.

Snow Pea: One of the useful plants to have. These can also be your grails...that is if used right. You need to stall the Bucket Zombies and Gargantuan Zombies as much as possible. I would plant them below of the top lane and above the bottom lane.

Potato Mine: These can be pretty useful for empty lanes if you give it time. Plant them on the top or bottom lanes. If you cannot, then it is best to use them as zombie bait. If you end up planting it on a lane where the Gargantuan Zombie is, then you're in luck!

Squash: These should be ONLY used on Bucket Zombies and Gargantuan Zombies (or when Imp is being a ♥♥♥♥ and flying past defenses). If you have too many and they try to disappear, plant them in front of the Snow Pea or Triple Peashooter.

Lantern: Good luck trying to find these in time...one of the most useful yet hard to get at the right time in the mode. Try to plant it where it can reveal a lot of vases. This can help you plan (and even reserve Squashes) at the right time!

Cherry Bomb: The most important thing when trying to get this achievement is to reserve as much Sun as possible until you get to Streak 10. After using a Cherry Bomb and the coast is clear, let it recharge fully incase you have another terrible moment on the same or next streak. These things you want to save on Streak 8 and higher. If you use it below that Streak, you might as well quit.

Streak Rundown:
1-9 One Gargantuan Zombie to worry about and Bucket Zombies.
10-15 Two Gargantuan Zombies and even more Zombies. There will be even less plants! (See what I mean by saving Sun for Cherry Bombs?)

Strategy:
Streak 1-9: Break the plants on the far right. Two lanes or One and a half should do it.
Streak 10-15: Disregard the Tree of Wisdom's advice. Chances are, you're gonna have a lot of zombies coming out on the right. Try breaking the vases where lanterns can reveal the most vases. You'll probably get more plants than zombies that way.

What you, the player should do:
If you play for a long time and lose, it's best to go take a break (hour least). If you don't you'll probably rush and keep losing.
Take your time! Vasebreaker has no time limit. All the zombies and plants come from the vases!
If you still can't make it to Streak 15 for the achievement, set mental goals. For example, if you got to Streak 8, make a goal of getting to Streak 9. This will inspire you more :)

I hope this helps you! Good luck, and yes it is a hard achievement!
