Plants vs Zombies 2 - Plant of the Week - Pepper-Mint - December 2024

50 Pepper-Mint seeds are awarded for completing this event consisting of five (5) levels.

Plant of the Week - Pepper-Mint - was offered between November 30, 2024 through December 7, 2024.

Pepper-Mint is a Mint.
Pepper-Mint costs 0 Sun.
When planted, PEPPER-MINT will set the entire lawn aflame for 3.5 seconds. (+1 second per 3 levels).
This flame will deal 100 damage to the zombies. (+5 damage per level)
This plant will boost the PEPPER-MINT family of plants for six (6) seconds (+1 second for each level).

The PEPPER-MINT family of plants are those which generate heat or flame:
• Snapdragon
• Jalapeno
• Jack O' Lantern
• Ghost Pepper
• Hot Potato
• Pepper-pult
• Fire Peashooter
• Lava Guava
• Hot Date
• Pyre Vine
• Inferno
• Meteor Flower
• Blaze Leaf

The effect is what you would expect from this Mint - setting the lawn ablaze. The results of that though are underwhelming. The weak Fila-Mint does more damage at level 3. Ail-Mint does 600 damage +100 per level. Arma-Mint does 1,200 per volley. Conceal-Mint swallows 6 zombies +1 per level. But Pepper-Mint doesn't even do 600 damage at level 6. That may not even melt frozen plants. It's just not impressive.

However, this is offset by the increased damage this family receives. Most of these plants gain a minimum of double damage as well as additional effects as if the plant was level 10.

Commentary:
That said, this family of plants is fairly under-powered and therefore only useful on those lawns where freezing winds can be a factors.)

Bottom line:
An average mint at best with an average at best set of plants. But this is a mint nonetheless and as such should be leveled up.
