Enforce-mint shrinks zombies, which may seem a bit off-brand for a guy who's all about melee damage. Enforce-mint shrugs. "I don't set policy," he says.

Enforce-mint is a Power Mint plant in Plants vs. Zombies 2. When planted, he will shrink and immobilize 10 random zombies on the lawn, making them weaker (at Level 1), similar to Shrinking Violet. He also gives all Enforce-mint Family plants a temporary boost, increasing their stats for the entirety of his duration.

Enforce-mint family plants include:

• Bonk Choy
• Celery Stalker
• Chomper
• Guacodile
• Headbutter Lettuce
• Kiwibeast
• Parsnip
• Phat Beet
• Snap Pea
• Squash
• Tangle Kelp
• Tiger Grass
• Wasabi Whip
• Rhubarbarian
• Bun Chi

Like other Power Mints, he cannot be imitated or affected by other mints. After 8 seconds, Enforce-mint disappears.

Enforce-mint can be obtained with 100 mints in the store when he's available.

Origins

As with all other mints, Enforce-mint is based on the plant "Lamiaceae" (also known as the mint).

His name is a pun on the word "enforcement," meaning "the act of compelling observance of or compliance with a law, rule, or obligation." Enforcement is often associated with violence, thus Enforce-Mint's muscular appearance and effect of boosting melee-based plants.

Strategies

Enforce-mint is best used against large groups of dangerous zombies such as Chicken Wrangler Zombies, Weasel Hoarders and especially Gargantuars. When used, some zombies on screen are shrunk to miniature size just like Shrinking Violet's ability, including Imps, Zombie Chickens, and Ice Weasels, making Enforce-mint a great plant to use during large waves of zombies.

Enforce-mint works well with certain melee plants such as Wasabi Whip, Celery Stalker, and Parsnip, as they will deal more damage to dangerous zombies, with the capability to clear out hordes of zombies, especially when you level them up.

Enforce-mint's biggest weakness is that only two plants in his family have any range (which are Guacodile and Snap Pea), meaning that creating strategies that use Enforce-mint can be difficult. Guacodiles can also be hard to keep on the board, because as soon as it meets a zombie it will rush of the screen.

Like all Power Mints, it is a bad idea to bring Enforce-mint to levels where you cannot lose plants, as he will disappear after a while.
