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

Sock Snake at Lv 1. Shadow Crawlers walk into its reach.

How it works.

Hits every ground nightmare within 1.5 tiles in its own lane at once with each swing.
Its bite poisons: the nightmare goes on losing 70 health a second for 4s, straight past its helmet and shield, and can't regenerate meanwhile. A new bite renews the venom; two venoms don't add up. Bosses are poisoned too.
It can't reach flying nightmares.
Toughness 400: what nightmares have to chew through to get past it.

The Bedtime Book says, at Lv 1

20 damage every 1.2s. Toughness 400. Its bite poisons: 70 damage a second for 4s, past helmets and shields.

And at Lv 25

49 damage every 0.55s. Toughness 880. Its bite poisons: 172 damage a second for 4s, past helmets and shields.

Every level, 1 to 25.

Upgrading costs coins, once, and lasts for good. Lv 25 costs 426,080 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.

Shadow Crawlers walk into its reach. The nightmares and their health are the same in both halves: only the toy's level differs.

Lv 1All defeated in 3.1s

Lv 25All defeated in 2.5s

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

The game's tip

Sock Snakes are best against tough and armored monsters: their venom keeps working, gets past helmets and stops monsters healing.
