FYI- Enlighten-mint will return in September, and will also be a plant of the week. This means you can unlock and potentially level up enlighten-mint for free without spending any gems by playing Penny’s pursuit when it comes around. Even on the easiest difficulty (level 1 zombies, any half decent strategy should work), you can get enough, but harder difficulties with higher level zombies award more seed packets, mainly for the zomboss rewards. Enlighten-mint does have an ability, it gives x sun when planted down, up to 300 at level 10. Regarding availability of mints, there is obviously no set schedule to feature each power mint once per year or whatnot. Contain-mint hasn’t been available for over a year. Spear-mint will return in 2 days for a whole month with Bamboo Spartan’s arena season.

Fun fact: reinforce-mint's main ability is much better than how it sounds, as it can work with Blower, meaning that if you time it correctly you can wipe out THE WHOLE BOARD (though i'm not sure if it also works with Primal Peashooter) If this sounds familiar for you, is because this isn't new. Spring Bean's plant food had this ability, but they removed it. The fact that they nerfed Spring Bean but didn't do anything with Reinforce-mint shows how much favoritism Popcap has.

Some things you forgot to mention, Conceal Mint turns all plants that aren't already powered to their powered form. Reinforce-mint works with blover. Though that last one is sort of an oversight on PopCaps end. The rankings for all of these guys are pretty accurate with mine, so yea. Really good video.

11:56 The Spikerocks Spear-mint places down don't actually scale in levels with your own Spikerock, rather they scale in level with Spear-mint itself Examples: A level 1 Spear-mint creates Level 5 Spikerocks, a level 5 Spear-mint creates Level 7 Spikerocks and a Level 10 Spear-mint creates Level 10 Spikerocks Also a level 1 Spikerock can't kill a conehead on its own, only basics.

omg I swear, pvz comments are so wholesome, people just want to actually give helpful tips and comments and not just to shitpost, I love this community

Power mints are OP especially bombard mint a zero sun multiple cherry bombs

Just a little something extra about enlighten-mint, if you use it with sunshroom, it will also bring them to max growth.

The thing that could make enchant-mint better is if it hypnotized more zombies when placed. it only hypnotizes like 2-3 which is some situations can be useful like if there are 2 gargs on the field, but in most it isn't. If they did do that buff, he would be much better in my opinion.

Easily the most underrated KZfaqr ever

Honestly all the Power Mints are S Tier plants in my opinion. They cost 0 sun and are very op

Honestly, I always found how interesting tier lists vary between game modes. Since penny/arena care more about family buffs than when played ability. For example Spearmint being a B\C tier plant in both modes while Enchantmin is like B/A imo. Appeasement being the best mint in both modes as well.

Good ranking a bit surprised bombard mint isn’t S Tier but overall it’s pretty good

I’d move Enchant-Mint up to the top of C Tier, mostly due to the synergy that can be obtained with Zoybean Pod. It makes them constantly produce Buckethead Zombies which fight for you, one Bucket could clear a lane of average zombies, let alone a whole entourage of them being produced constantly. Enchant-Mint still in C Tier cuz of the lack of power without Zoybean’s synergy.

Well… I had no idea you could shovel up the spikerocks from spear mint. Thanks for letting me know about that. I will most certainly be using that feature in the future

I feel like your pushing Winter mint a little too low It's effect to chill all zombies on screen might not be too powerful, but the family it buffs is absolutely amazing! It carried me through the game.

For my set-ups, I like using Sun Shroom, Shine Vine & Enlighten-Mint to get a massive start when playing.

I swear after playing pizza tower I can’t stop hearing the music and also great vid I honestly think your on the most underrated KZfaqrs I know

You are very good! Best KZfaqr! I got enlighten mint from arena grinding ;)

reinforcment + blover = screen wipe

I always love these plants so much.

Also zombies who are effected from reinforcemint's knockback ability are considered airborn, so blover + reinforcemint can wipeout an entire field when timed correctly

The spike mint one is S+ tier for me, for one reason: It can beat the first Ancient Egypt level by itself. So, if you know how to make macros, you could earn 50K money per night. At least that's how it worked a year ago. I don't know if there are ads between levels now or something.

I personally prefer using arma mint plants since they can counter excavators,that are more dangerous that paraol zombies,and objects like tombstone don't block their projectiles meaning that they will always deal damag to zombies no matter what

Just one small thing: the explosions arent fully random. They will usually prioritize the largest groups possible, but there’s some wiggle room I there

it's impossible to comprehend how cracked reinforce-mint + peanut is. It single-handedly destroys the penny's pursuit bosses with amazing efficiency

I can truly agree with the tier list since have our own ways on using it just like on conceal mint, its good when your entire deck is just the conceal mint family. As a conceal mint main its funny to spam shadow pea and tile turnip power them with the moon flower then finally buff the peas with the conceal mint to nuke the entire board

You have a new subscriber (And a fan)

keep up the good work on the content.

Commenting for the algorithm. Great video 👍

Fun fact: If you upgrade Fila-mint to max level, it literally kills every zombie on the lawn. I think. In my experience, it has.

Im glad i got the spear mint as my first mint (i have apeas mint and bombard mint nd reinforce mint as well)

Nice tierlist, it's very accurate.

I always loved using spearmint in boosted arena since whenever you use it all the spikerocks also use their plant food ability

I prefer Spear Mint as the best mainly because although the effects are passive damage, to me the spikerocks summoned are versatile. Because I can either use them as early stage defense or free sun by shovelling them up, I mostly play Penny's Pursuit and don't play Arena that much anyway so, I think spear mint is the best.

Spear mint is good at justt giving free sun and defense rather then boosting spear mint family plants. Good head start for every penny pursuit.

Imo we should have a new mint called enhance-mint that doesn't do anything besides temporarily buffing any plant on the field

3:15 i dont know if anyone has told you this but according to gnvs a pretty realiable source in my eyes said that the enchant mint hypnotises zombies to the left of your lawn (close to your house)

Spear-mint was probably the easiest number one pick in any list. Great video anyways!

Bonkchoy was never bad and it is great when paired with a walnut in front

I can't seem to edit my original comment, so going to make a new one and hope the right people see it: Enlighten-mint will be avaliable for 100 mints. Not sure atm if this means it will no longer be unlockable with 100 seed packets though. It will also have the normal power mint offers with 25 mints for 25 seed packets and 100 mints for 100 seed packets. It will have gem offers when it is plant of the week: 10 seed packets for 17 gems with purchase cap of 20, 50 seed packets for 75 gems with purchase cap of 10, and 250 seed packets for 350 gems, with a purchase cap of one and if you have spent no money on the game. Overall, this makes enlighten-mint a little bit more accessible since you no longer have to either play the penny's pursuit event or spend gems to get seed packets to unlock/level up enlighten-mint, but both are still valid methods.

Was not expecting the only mint I use to he the one you say is the best

The wow bonk choys actually good now almost sent me straight to the comments 😂

Bro. I agree 100% w/ ur tier list i also like that my first fav mint is in s tier

10:00 I get like 20 gems for every zomboss fight i do in pennys pursuit because of the bean sprout now, and i get like 28 gems for completing every daily quest and watching four ads a day, so i now get a daily amount of 50 gems a day

Actually, you CAN get enlighten-mint from arena - I got mine there. That season was over two years ago though...

really useful video

In my opinion... Wintermint is the worst because the only free plants it boosts are... Iceberg lettuce and winter melon... And since iceberg is basically an insta it won't do much and winter melon is the ONLY one it really effects Yes there's the premiums but not many of them are THAT useful So yeah I do not like cold triangle

I think you can just buy enlighten mint normally with mint thingys I selected it from the almanack and get buy more or what it was and it gave me the option

My tier list Worst Enchantmint: exact same reason as YSI Winter mint: the ability can’t do much compared to contain mint and one plant(winter melon) can’t do much Contain mint: the ability is is better. Fila mint: yup. Same reasons AND the fact that like all other plants in the family, it needs a lot of it to be effective. Arma mint: no comment Enlighten-mint: hard to get, no ability, and without tons of sun producers, worthless. Appease-mint: needs a very constructed family on the field to work, but when so, it’s worth it. Conceal-mint: moonflowers, dusk lobbers, nightshades, need I say more? Enforce mint: needs a plant from a separate mint to be useful(imp pear) but if not, the family is ok Ali mint: full screen poison. Bombard mint: several cherry bombs but not full range so yeah Pepper mint: full screen attack, boosting ghost pepper, no more needs to be talked about Spear mint: all the same reasons+ gargantuan stall Re-enforce mint: needs blover for its power but even without it, man. Boosting max level peanuts, blocklis,pumpkins, and buying some time? No more explained. Best

top tier for me its spear mint (if you have that sun chovel trophy) u get early defense for whole lawn or weaker gold bloom (you shovel the spikerocks when u have 50% refund sun when shovel up given plants)

The good thing about enchant mint is it makes caulipower an absolute powerhouse in certain arena levels

Btw if u place a wind flower like the freeze or normal 1 sec before u place reinforcement mint it’ll one shot any zombie it knocks back

spearmint is really a good plant when it can place spike rocks and if you get both of the “25% sun when digging up trophy” you can generate 400+ sun and if your ever in a plan your defense level/ last stand you can use spearmint to generate enough sun to make your perfect defense just make sure you have enough those leafy things (sorry I forgot what’s it called even tho I played it yesterday night).

Worth noting that Spearmint is broken in Boosterama. That's because, due to the Spikerocks being their own plants, they all activate their Plant Food effect at once. Across ALL lanes. Arena becomes a joke with it

8:43 Bonk choy isn't bad on its own once you level it up a little bit. (I have a lv.17 Bonk choy)

I really like enchant-min becuause when he's paired with zoybean pod, it spam summons zombies for your side.

Poison kills all armored basic variants because it attacks their HP directly, Bullies just have way more HP and no armor, so they can tank the damage better.

I chose appeasemint because it's family has the most non-premium plants of any familly (I think) so it's good for people who don't want to spend money, or children, who can't even if they wanted to.

Spear-mint buffs pokra, and summons 5 spikerocks That's about as overpowered as it gets.

contain-mint is really underrated imo with the sap guy since it just freezes anything basically

don't forget that when you place a blower before placing Reinforcemint, all pushed zombies get blown off the screen and instakilled

Ail mint is literally so strong that its biggest weakness is it being too good at cleaning the lawn for the typically close ranged plants that it boosts to actually take good advantage of its boost lol. Especially at low levels.

I have level 3 sun mint when it first came out. Didn’t know they made it so hard to get

Max level ailmint board wipes, its also good with puffshroom

Fun fact: Conceal-mint powers up every single Conceal-mint plants on the field (basically if every plant of that family got put next to a Moonflower).

Sun mint is the best mint because you don’t have to do what the guy says to get it. You can just go into your plant inventory and click on the sun mint and click find more and it will give an option to buy it with 100 mints.

It was just added that you can buy any mint in the almanac. Even enlighten mint.

11:21 I have mostly all the mints except Enlighten-mint and Conceal-mint (it's been a while without a new shadow plant)

Reinforcement could also be combo with blover which is more broken

Wow I did not think this was a new vid I thought it was like a month ago But great vid

i didnt know enlightenmint was so rare. I guess I got it a couple years ago and came back to the game unaware of how i got it. Cool. I guess i have a rare mint

My fav mint (spear mint) is somehow on the top of the ranks. It was my very first mint I bought, too

I was planning to skip enlighten mint, but im glad i watched this video, right now its available for 100 mints

You might call me crazy but ail-mint got me feeling ways 😳

Here's My opinion: I agree with you that Every mint can be good in their own way, but not all of them are "overpowered", and none of them are "bad".I also don't think any families are bad because they all have at least 3 good plants. My list is based on the family it buffs, and what the mints ability is, and how long it lasts on the board. I have a lot of experience in this game, so here's my list. S+ Tier 1. Spear mint: This choice was stupidly easy. First of all, it buffs the best family in the entire game by far, and also the fact that she plants 5+ Spikerocks. The Spikerocks can be a straight upgrade to gold bloom if you have the sun perk thingy and get 600+ sun instantly which is insane! Also I can't forget to mention Pokra, because she is an absolute chaos causer with spear mint on the board. 2. Enlighten mint: Literally can make like thousands of sun in the 5+ seconds it lasts and is op with sun shroom and shine vine so enlighten mint is a very op plant. S Tier 3. Rienforce Mint: The main reason this guy is here is because of his combo with blover. But also he is great with Holly barrier and pushing zombies back even if you don't use blover is still pretty good 4. Winter mint: Now lets talk about what is in my opinion by far the most underrated plant in the game. It's ability is to stall all zombies on screen. That's just okay, but the reason its so high up is because of the Epic family it buffs. Use this mint with like any plant in the family and you have 10+ seconds depending on the level of destruction. I have no idea why people hate on this mint so much, but I would not have beaten the game without this plant. 5. Ail mint: Here is in my opinion the first of the 5 broken mints. Ail mint is almost a screen killer with any zombie except gargauntuars, etc. Also powerful with Goo peashooter. Also it and enchant mint have the longest duration. A Tier 6. Bombard mint: Super powerful ability, basically deleting 3 sections of the board 7. Conceal mint: Powering up all shadow plants is useful for last stand levels. Also the family it buffs is very powerful. And don't forget its great ability to drag a lot of zombies to death. 8. Pepper mint: Good for killing graves and fire plants are really powerful with this guy. 9. Arma mint: Really good ability and Buffing stickybomb rice is broken. B Tier 10. Appease mint: Absolutely terrible ability to shoot 3 "powerful" peas, but buffs a really good family. 11. Fila mint: The family it buffs is decent, but its ability can op if there are like 30+ zombies. C Tier 12. Contain mint: Stunning all zombies is the reason I like this guy. He might not be too useful to buffing stalling plants that do like no damage, but is still a great mint. 13. Enchant mint: Hypnotizing like 3 zombies isn't that good, but sense it lasts the longest with ail mint, Hocus crocus can be pretty insane if you have a lot of them. 14. Enforce mint: His ability is not too good but still he buffs a decent family and is great with Tiger grass, Rhubarbarian, etc. Although he does get the lowest spot

I would say that B and A shouldn't be separate as A is just the mints who are good alone and B the mints that serve well their intended function, they both excel at different aspects making them equal . S tier mints are straight up bonkers and c tier mints are basically b tier mints but they buff awful (compared to the rest) plant teams.

i wish you put reinforce mint in A because if you use it with blover it beats the crap out of every single zombie on the board. even gargantuars and also it doesnt work on bosses or minibosses.

I got the enlighten-mint when it was still in arena.

Would love to see a vine teir list

Lol, the sun mint was actually my first mint, since it appeared in the shop but not for gems

I honestly think that ail-min, pepper-mint and fila-mint would be high a tier if its upgraded

Reinforcemint knock back works with blover

Jokes aside I really liked this video, I felt it was really well made

Reinforce mint and Ail mint should be in S tier, here's why: Reinforce mint knockback effect works with Blover, basically this is a whole-lawn-cleaner. Not to mention the pf buff effect takes Peanut - a damning disappointing plant to a level where it can actually be OP. Ail mint effect, like in the vid, is broken on its own, but works best only for Basic's variations like Conehead, Buckethead and Brickhead, big bad enemies like gargs, bullies and Zcorpion won't die that easy. However, the introduction of Nightcap boosts it to the top floor, as a buffed level 1 Nightcap kills off multiple gargs like nothing.

You can actually gain sun in the last stand-ish levels by using the spikerocks from spearmint. If you have the shovel upgrade 😐

The enlighten mint was on arena for 100 mints just a while ago

11:00 so like funny thing this was my first mint and I didn’t have any tough time getting them😂

W tierlist

Reinforce mint + blover = all zombies in the air then blown away (this combo kills everything instantly)

As a lover of Plants vs i can confirm

I miss my old account with a level 5 homing thistle, spear mint and level 5 heath seeker :( I blew through the campain levels so easily

Bro Enlighten-mint was my first mint that I got in PvZ

I feel that conceal mint is a lot better because you get both damage and also sun from the moonflowers 250 sun!

Thank you i watched this vid to see if i should buy spear mint or save for later and when u put spear mint in s i bought him like instantly

Making a new comment in case this gets pinned or if anyone sees it: EVERY power mint is now available to be unlocked in the Almanac for 100 mints; It is no longer fully gatekept behind when the plant family is featured in the arena season, but you won’t be able to get more seed packets for each mint.

I remember when mints released and fillamint was terrible unless you ran elec strats I saved up over time and got Spearmint season one Now I have enchant, spear, englighten, and ail mints and never looked back.

Question, I thought u could buy enlighten mint with mints from the arena?( I’m a bit of a odd player that comes and goes ) also I bought it with mints so that’s why I’m asking

I have reinforce, fila and recently spear-mint. Which one should I get next ?

I do think that there is somer eally good winter mint plants like ice shroom that could pair well with wintermint/

very epic
