📐 The Merging Formula
SEEDS REQUIRED
2(Star Level - 1)
Each star level doubles the seeds needed. This is binary progression.
| Star | Seeds | DPS Multiplier | Formula |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1★ | 1 | 1.0x | 2^0 = 1 |
| 2★ | 2 | 1.8x | 2^1 = 2 |
| 3★ | 4 | 3.2x | 2^2 = 4 |
| 4★ | 8 | 5.8x | 2^3 = 8 |
| 5★ | 16 | 10.5x | 2^4 = 16 |
| 6★ | 32 | 18.9x | 2^5 = 32 |
| 7★ | 64 | 34.0x | 2^6 = 64 |
| 8★ | 128 | 61.2x | 2^7 = 128 |
🎯 Merging Strategies
1️⃣ Focus on One Plant Type
Instead of buying different seed types, concentrate your gold on one plant type. This makes finding merge pairs much easier and faster.
Example: Buy only Mushroom seeds until you have a 5★+ Mushroom, then switch to your next target.
2️⃣ Merge During Combat
Don't wait for waves to end! Keep buying seeds and merging while your plants fight. This maximizes your time efficiency.
3️⃣ Organize Your Garden
Keep plants grouped by star level. Put 1★ plants in one area, 2★ in another, etc. This makes spotting merge pairs instant.
4️⃣ Quality Over Quantity
One 5★ plant is worth 16 seeds and deals 10.5x damage compared to a 1★. That's far more efficient than 16 separate 1★ plants!
Math: 16 × 1★ = 16 DPS | 1 × 5★ = 10.5 DPS but concentrated in one spot for better targeting and mutation efficiency.
⚠️ Common Mistakes
❌ Buying Too Many Seed Types
Spreading gold across many seed types makes merging slow and inefficient.
❌ Not Merging Low Stars
Leaving gardens full of 1★ plants wastes space and DPS potential.
❌ Mutating Before Max Merge
Don't mutate plants you plan to merge - wait until target star level.
❌ Ignoring Garden Organization
A messy garden makes you miss merge pairs and waste time searching.
