Penny

Ail-mint is a Power Mint plant in Plants vs. Zombies 2. When planted, she[1] will poison all zombies on the board. She can also boost Ail-mint Family plants by increasing the effectiveness of their abilities, whilst also boosting their toughness, damage, and more whilst she is on the lawn.

Ail-mint cannot poison the following zombies: Dr. Zomboss, #caketank, Healer Zombie, Zombie Medusa, Zombie Medusa's statue, and Zombie Bobsled Team.

Ail-mint Family plants include:

Like other Power Mints, she cannot be imitated or affected by other mints. After 11 seconds, Ail-mint will disappear.

Ail-mint can be obtained with 100 mints in the Store when she is available.

Origins[]

Mint(real)

Ail-mint is based on the "Lamiaceae" (also known as "mint").

Ail-mint's name is a pun on the word "ailment," meaning "An illness, typically a minor one." This is a reference to her boosting plants that plague zombies with harmful effects or use spores or fumes (which may or may not be toxic, but last a long time in the air nonetheless).


Almanac entry[]

Note: The stats shown below only apply to Level 1.

Ail-mint

Ail-mints poison all zombies when planted and provide a temporary boost to all Ail-mint Family plants on the lawn.

Ail-mint is quick to state that poison should not be taken internally. Or externally, for that matter. Really, just leave it alone. It's poison!


Ail-mint boosts[]

While boosted by Ail-mint, the following plants gain the following effects.

  • Blooming Heart will do an additional 120 damage with her initial attacks.
  • Chili Bean's stun duration is increased by 12 seconds, and he creates ten duplicates with his Plant Food effect regardless of his level.
  • Fume-shroom will do an additional 120 damage, and his Plant Food effect will do an additional 2900 damage over the duration.
  • Garlic can absorb an additional 1200 damage.
  • Goo Peashooter's pea does an additional 75 damage. Additionally, his poison will do an additional 4 damage per stack, and his Plant Food effect does an additional 132 damage per tick.
  • Imp Pear will deal 90% damage to the Imp Pear Imp it creates when eaten, and its Plant Food effect will now transform up to fifteen zombies on the screen into Imps. If Imp Pear is at level 10, Ail-mint will have no effect.
  • Puffball's poison will gain an additional 275 damage and his stun duration is increased by 10 seconds.
  • Puff-shroom will do an additional 110 damage with his spores, his Plant Food effect will do an additional 30 damage per spore, and he will have his lifespan extended by 120 seconds.
  • Spore-shroom's damage will increase by 120 damage, and its Plant Food effect will do an additional 2800 damage.
  • Vamporcini will drain an addtional 10 (Level 1), 15 (Level 2), 20 (Level 3-4), 25 (Level 5), 30 (Level 6-7), 35 (Level 8-9) or 40 (Level 10) damage with its normal attack, an additional 6 (Level 1-2), 9 (Level 3-4), 12 (Level 5), 15 (Level 6-9) or 18 (Level 10) damage with its Plant Food attack.
  • Scaredy-shroom will deal double damage with his normal attacks, and an additional 30 damage (level 1-5) / 35 (level 6-7) / 40 (level 8-10) with his Plant Food attacks, and he will never cower from nearby zombies.
  • Nightcap will deal an additional 200 damage with her normal attacks, an additional 300 damage with her poison attacks.

Strategies[]

Ail-mint by herself is a fantastic plant, as her ability poisons all zombies on screen when planted, which can very easily defeat all zombies on screen. Ail-mint's plant family is generally pretty weak, but there are a few plants that are effective, especially when boosted, including Fume-shroom, Spore-shroom, and Goo Peashooter. When boosted, these plants can easily wipe out large hordes of zombies, especially when combined with Ail-mint's poison effect. Puffball is also an exceptional choice when used in conjunction with Ail-mint due to its massive damage bonus and enhanced stun-duration of 10 seconds, which alone is on par with the duration of a Level 1 Iceberg Lettuce.

Ail-mint isn't quite as effective in Far Future because of the high health of the zombies there, making them take a while to defeat.

In Arena, Ail-mint, in conjunction with Imp Pear's Plant food effect, is an extremely potent combo for getting score, as Imp Pear's PF effect now targets 15 zombies at once, allowing score to be collected from 15 zombies at once alongside the extra score gained from the 15 incredibly weak imps left behind.

Remember that it's not advised to bring Power Mints into "Don't lose more than X plants" levels, as they will disappear after a while, which counts as a plant being lost.

Trivia[]

  • She has the longest duration of all the Power Mints, tying with Enchant-mint, at 11-20 seconds.
  • According to her almanac entry, Perfume-shroom is in the Ail-mint family, although that plant is bugged and isn't affected by this Power Mint.
  • Ail-mint appears to be chewing something in her idle animation.
  • Despite not having a poison-based attack, Blooming Heart, Puff-shroom, Fume-shroom, Garlic, Spore-shroom, Scaredy-shroom, Imp Pear, and Chili Bean are in Ail-mint Family. This is likely due to Fume-shroom, Puff-shroom, Blooming Heart, Spore-shroom, and Scaredy-shroom basing on those are poisonous in real life, while Garlic, Imp Pear, and Chili Bean stunning zombies with the gas.
