1. Early Strategy Tips & Resource Management
- Don't overspend on rare seeds early — investing too heavily in high-tier plants can drain your cash before you've built a steady income.
- Balance offense and passive income — always aim for a mix of plants that both defend and generate value.
- Keep flexibility in your layout — leave space and reserve cash so you can adapt when stronger brainrots appear.
2. Optimizing Brainrot Income & Placement
- Place defeated brainrots in income slots strategically — central or high-yield spots are more beneficial.
- Collect income regularly — don't let earned cash sit idle.
- Prioritize brainrots with higher passive returns — your growth compounds faster this way.
3. When & How to Evolve / Fuse / Mutate
- Only evolve / fuse when the net gain outweighs cost. Don't rush evolution if it puts you in deficit.
- Start with low-cost fusions to get a feel for the mechanic before risking expensive ones.
- Watch for weather / event multipliers — triggering mutation at boosted times gives you better returns.
4. Common Pitfalls & How to Avoid Them
- Buying expensive plants too early — you'll stagnate.
- Dumping all your resources in a single attempt — maintain backup capital.
- Missing out on codes, events, or community giveaways — always keep an eye on announcements.
- Neglecting reflection — analyze losses and adjust your strategy.
5. Focus Priorities for Your First Few Hours
- Build a stable cash flow — this underpins everything else.
- Gather a diverse selection of brainrots/plants — versatility helps in unexpected matchups.
- Experiment cautiously with fusion / mutation — don't go all in until you understand it.
- Stay updated — new codes, patches, and events can shift the optimal strategy.
