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.

Set between two Pillow Walls, so the Shadow Crawlers chewing them stand in its ring. The nightmares and their health are the same in both halves: only the toy's level differs.
Lv 1All defeated in 7.6s
Lv 25All defeated in 2.6s

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

Toy Mastery.

From campaign level 100, a Music Box at Lv 25 can go on through 25 Mastery ranks. Each rank adds 0.4% to its damage and toughness: +10% at M25.
