Commentary:
Fila-Mint doesn't sound all that impressive. The damage is fairly weak and Fila-Mint feels more like a softener than a zombie eliminator. But that's only at lower levels. Once Fila-Mint levels up, the damage becomes respectable and if there are a lot of zombies on the lawn when Fila-Mine is planted, there is a good chance most, if not all, of the zombies will be eliminated. Isn't that what we want from our mints?

Bottom Line:
It's not a sexy mint. It's not a tier 1 mint. This mint won't wow anyone with its effects when first obtained. However, on those levels where Fila-Mint plants are required or where other plants are banned, Fila-Mint and its family of plants make for a solid backup plan.
