Merging and Stars
Caught a duplicate? That's not a spare, that's progress. Merging feeds copies of a species into one Elemixie to raise its stars, and stars raise its level cap.
What Stars Do
- Every Elemixie starts at 1 star, with a level cap of 10.
- Each star raises the cap by 10: 2 stars is level 20, up to 5 stars and level 50.
- Higher stars also make the creature visibly bigger. A 5-star Elemixie stands a quarter taller than a fresh catch.
How to Merge
- Open your backpack and switch on Merge mode.
- Tap duplicates of the same species, in any order. Each one gets a green checkmark, and the count beside the grid keeps score.
- Tap Preview. The confirm screen shows the Elemixie you'll end up with, its new stars lit.
- Confirm, and they all merge into one Elemixie. Their XP adds up and the star progress climbs.
The merged Elemixie keeps the nickname of the strongest one you picked: the one with the most stars. If stars tie, it's the one with the higher level, and if that ties too, the one you tapped first. If any of them was following you, the merged Elemixie follows you.
You can merge many Elemixies at once and jump several stars in one go. Once your picks reach 5 stars, the rest fade out and can't be picked. Tap a picked one again to take it back out. Select All shows up once you pick a card. It picks copies that add up to exactly 5 stars when they can, and never picks more than it takes to reach 5 stars. The card that reaches 5 stars can bring more merged Elemixies than you need. The confirm screen tells you how many you'd lose before you merge. Merging costs no coins; the duplicates are the price.
Merge Costs
Rarer species need fewer copies per star:
| Rarity | To 2★ | To 3★ | To 4★ | To 5★ | Total Needed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Common | 3 | 5 | 8 | 12 | 29 |
| Uncommon | 2 | 3 | 5 | 7 | 18 |
| Rare | 2 | 2 | 3 | 5 | 13 |
| Epic | 1 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 8 |
| Legendary | 1 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 6 |
| Mythic | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 5 |
The last column counts every copy you'll need, the first one included. A 5-star common is a real grind; a 5-star mythic needs five miracles.
Worth Knowing
- Wild Elemixies always arrive at 1 star. Merging is the only way to earn stars.
- Locked Elemixies and busy ones (foraging, training, battling, mixing, trading) cannot be merged.
- Your first merge, in the tutorial, pays a bonus 75 coins and 10 player XP.
- Merging pairs well with mixing, but a mix needs two parents with the same stars. If you merge one parent up a star, merge the other one up too.
