I first got Enlighten-mint the first time it was released, haven't seen an event for it since. But it's AMAZING.Even at level 1 (I'm not a p2w so I could only get it level 1 before the season ended) I've used it to breeeeeze through the levels.This would be my strategy:Plant 2 rows of sun-shrooms (I just skipped to Dark ages, got sun-shroom, and got out, then I went to work on the worlds before)Throw down an Enlighten-mint and it will INSTANTLY GROW all the sun-shrooms and the sun-shrooms would give you like 125 sun each right before Enlighten-mint expires.Basically leaves you with 1000+ sun to do whatever you like, then a short while after you get buckets of 75 sun from each sun-shroom and INFINITE POWERReally, just spam bloomerangs, they're reallly powerful (Same cost as A.K.E.E but hits targets 2 times.). I believe any level can be completed with enough bloomerang spam.They penetrate shovels, energy shields, and double damage to boot. Just two bloomerangs can kill a buckethead, and even with just two rows of bloomerangs I could beat most big wave beach levels that had surfer zombies.Plus you can spam spikerocks, melon-pults if you're feeling extra overkill, even lay down QUITE a few tile turnips!You'll never lose to a generate sun level ever again.This was why I had trouble with those wild west last stand levels where they spam toaster zombies.

@eieio_31310 Ssshh.....don't spoil the guy's happiness 😛 hahahahahaha@Helpfhere i have never thought of bringing enlighten mint into any adventure mode. Because its not the best mint out there. Personally spearmint is the best because it generate spikerocks and you can have a game with just spearmint and win by filling the entire board with spikerocks. But as eieio said the mints are mainly designed for arena and enlighten mint i think is better suited for that. Although not for every game, just a certain selected few.

@StormyHeather11 Ahhh.......the trick with those levels for me, is to bring in just pokra and imp pear and everything else doesn't matter. I have both at level 7 and so plantfood imp pear usually solve those levels for me. And then i will use spearmint again after that. But i do like to finish my levels fast as I am a busy shroom 😛 and powertoss and eieio will probably point out i am not 'enjoying' it properly 😛

I too use Spearmint on most levels. I'm using alot of PepperMint gronding Frostbite for level 9 Chard Guatd. For a truly satisfying experience I use Fila Mint. Watching those lightning bolts streak out flash frying EVERYTHING on the board is truly an awesomr cathartic experience.

Mints are designed for Arena and new quests, if you use them in the original adventure mode, they will destroy the enjoyment for some players as it will make the game becoming too easy and unbalanced, which, is what I suspect you have found out.

Spearmint is great unless it is one of those "you can only have XX of plants" - because I did that on one level and realized that every one of those spearmint spike rocks counted towards my plants (D'OH!). I had to dig them up and forget about using spearmint for that level...
Bombard-mint is one of my favorites because I like blowing things up...

You can also dig them up in adventure mode for extra sun.
