Lv 1 against Lv 25.

The same scene twice, recorded in the game: on top with the toy at Lv 1, below at Lv 25.

Its dizzy shots turn Shadow Crawlers round and send them back toward the closet. The nightmares and their health are the same in both halves: only the toy's level differs.

Lv 1Dizzy for 1.5s a hit

Lv 25Dizzy for 2.5s a hit

Measured from the recording. Nightmares in a real night have more health the deeper the level (the curve), so times there differ; the ratio is what an upgrade buys. Every toy's comparison
