Plants vs Zombies 2 - Penny's Pursuit - Seedium Showcase - Draftodil - December 2023

Draftodil is a member of the Contain-Mint family.
Draftodil costs 100 Sun.
Draftodil does 15 damage. (+10 damage on levels 2-4, +15 damage on levels 5-7, +20 damage on levels 8-10.)
Each time this happens, the zombie will be slowed by 50% for 1.4 seconds.
50% chance to knock a small zombie (Imp or shrunken zombie) off the lawn. (+10% at level 2, +5% thereafter.)

Commentary:
This is one of those plants that does not seem impressive. Damage is average. Slowing zombies down is a nice perk. But this more than a cheaper version of a non-knock-back Primal Peashooter.

Combine this plant with others which can shrink or launch zombies and a horde of zombies will be thinned quite quickly. (Plant food on Draftodil, Shrinking Violet, Enforce-Mint)

Bottom Line:
This is one of those situational plants that will just sit around unused but on some levels, this will be a go-to plant.

This level CAN BE DONE! Sadly, when we did it, the record button was not pressed. See the check mark in the beginning.
The perk is the watering perk - faster recharge.
Solar Tomato is used for Sun and to stun zombies.
Blover + Stallia is used to eliminate the closest/quickest zombies. Namely the Gargantuar.
The idea is to survive, not eliminate all the zombies.
Potato Mine can be used to eliminate the first quick zombies. After that, it is useless.
