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

Plasma Ball at Lv 1. A staged lane: the same nightmares, with health set from the toy's own Lv 1 damage, walk at it.

How it works.

Shoots straight down its own lane at the first nightmare in the way. Front shields block straight shots.
A hit jumps on to up to 3 more nightmares, each within 2 tiles of the last, keeping 70% of its damage per jump (85% at Lv 25).
It also shoots back down its lane at nightmares that got behind it (a Gnomlin that dug past), those first.
It hits flying nightmares.
Toughness 300: what nightmares have to chew through to get past it.

The Bedtime Book says, at Lv 1

30 damage every 1.6s. Toughness 300. Hits flying monsters.

And at Lv 25

88 damage every 1.33s. Toughness 660. Hits flying monsters.

Every level, 1 to 25.

Upgrading costs coins, once, and lasts for good. Lv 25 costs 332,830 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 staged lane: the same nightmares, with health set from the toy's own Lv 1 damage, walk at it. The nightmares and their health are the same in both halves: only the toy's level differs.

Lv 1All defeated in 5.5s

Lv 25All defeated in 0.5s

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
