How it works Every level Perks Lv 1 vs Lv 25 Mastery Using it

Marble Catapult at Lv 1. A Lid Goblin behind its lid and two Shadow Crawlers bunched up behind it.

How it works.

Lobs its shot in a high arc at the first nightmare in its lane: it goes over front shields and lands with a splash that hurts everything within 0.6 tiles.
From Lv 10 its splash also reaches the lanes on each side, at 10% of its damage (35% at Lv 25).
It can't reach flying nightmares.
Toughness 300: what nightmares have to chew through to get past it.

The Bedtime Book says, at Lv 1

54 damage every 2.5s. Toughness 300.

And at Lv 25

161 damage every 1.74s. Toughness 660.

Every level, 1 to 25.

Upgrading costs coins, once, and lasts for good. Lv 25 costs 226,730 coins in all. The green rows are the levels with a milestone perk.

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.

A Lid Goblin behind its lid and two Shadow Crawlers bunched up behind it. The nightmares and their health are the same in both halves: only the toy's level differs.

Lv 1All defeated in 8.5s

Lv 25All defeated in 0.9s

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
