The "Make It or Break It" factor of "The Kings Day Out" was the number of Sunflowers on the team, what kind of Sunflower they were and the skill level of the player using it.
Use of the Stuffy Sunflower variant with the Rainbow Heal Flower alternate ability totally changes the dynamic of the Hunt. Not everyone realizes it but having a Heal Beam on you, or receiving Healing Drops from a Heal Flower cancels or prevents the movement penalty and freezing from the Yetis and Ice-variant Zombie Heroes and with the Special Ability of the Stuffy Flower being that Zombies she vanquishes explode into Healing Drops it's easily the most valuable support character in that particular Boss Hunt.
My one win was as a peashooter with a friend playing an excellent pocket vampire flower. She stuck to me like glue and together we not only lived to tell the tale, we were the also ones who killed the champion and carried the slushy to the boss each time.
Don't get me wrong, it felt very difficult. But only when I went in later with randoms did I realize how truly difficult it was. A flower attached at the hip to a high DPS character made all the difference. I wish I hadn't been too tired to keep playing that first night. I suspect I may have been able to get the hats for the higher difficulty levels with that particular team.
