Merging System

Merging represents a crucial pathway to augmenting your in-game assets and Digital Collectibles, elevating their Rarity, and unlocking new dimensions of gameplay. This intricate system not only allows for the enhancement of item Rarity from Common to Unique but also introduces a nuanced progression of Perks that add both power and value to your items. Here's a deep dive into the Merging System, offering you the insights needed to navigate and leverage this essential feature effectively.

1. Enhancing Rarity Through Merging

The journey of item enhancement in BOSS FIGHTERS is marked by two significant pathways: the transition of in-game assets, which can be merged up to Mythic Rarity, and the evolution of Digital Collectibles, which extend from Common to the coveted Unique Rarity. This tiered approach to item enhancement ensures a rich and varied gameplay experience, providing numerous opportunities for strategic development.

2. Power and Value Perks

Merging unfolds across two parallel lines of progression, distinguishing between Power Perks, which enhance the item's in-game utility, and Value Perks, which increase the item's farming potential. Power Perks emerge with every odd merge — on Common, Rare, and Legendary rarities — up to three times. Conversely, Value Perks, exclusive to Digital Collectibles, unfold across five stages — Common, Rare, Legendary, Exalted, and Transcendent rarities. Each subsequent even Rarity tier brings quality upgrades to these Perks, adding layers of depth and strategy to the Merging process.

Rarity	Power Perk	Value Perk
Common	New	New
Uncommon	Stars upgrade	Stars upgrade
Rare	New	New
Epic	Stars upgrade	Stars upgrade
Legendary	New	New
Mythic	Stars upgrade	Stars upgrade
Exalted	-	New
Exotic	-	Stars upgrade
Transcendent	-	New
Unique	-	Stars upgrade

3. The Mechanics of Merging

3.1 Merging In-game Assets

The journey of item enhancement through Merging begins with selecting two identical items of the same Rarity. These items are the foundation upon which the new, enhanced item will be built. Along with these items, players are required to invest Cash, the in-game soft currency, setting the stage for the merge.

One of the most strategic aspects of Merging is the handling of Power Perks. As you Merge items, you're presented with the opportunity to lock in one Power Perk for each pair. This decision involves using FLEX, the game’s premium currency, to ensure that your chosen Perk carries over to the newly merged item. If not locked, one of the two Perks in the pair will be chosen randomly for the merged item, adding an element of unpredictability to the process.

When Merging results in an item of odd Rarity, it is bestowed with a new Power Perk. This new Perk introduces a fresh layer of capability to the item, further enhancing the item's power. However, if the newly emerged Perk doesn't align with your strategic preferences, you have the option to reroll it using Variators, another in-game resource, for a chance at a more desirable Perk.

Conversely, items that achieve an even Rarity through Merging receive a quality upgrade to their most recent Power Perk. This upgrade boosts the Perk's effectiveness but, similar to the odd rarity's new Perk, if the upgrade doesn't meet your expectations or needs, you have the opportunity to reroll it for a potentially better outcome using Reinforcers.

3.2 Merging Digital Collectibles

When two Digital Collectibles are merged, the process mirrors that of in-game assets, with the significant addition of Value Perks. These Perks enhance the item's collectible value and farming potential and are subject to the same meticulous decision-making as Power Perks. For each pair of Value Perks, the decision should be made and action taken in parallel with Power Perks.

Merging Digital Collectibles requires not only Cash but also a specified amount of $BFT Tokens and Fusion Cores.

An essential factor to consider during the merge of Digital Collectibles is the availability of supply slots for the newly created item. The process can only proceed if the new item's supply is not fully consumed. Successfully Merging Digital Collectibles frees up the supply slots of the consumed items, making them available once more for the community. This mechanism ensures a balanced and sustainable ecosystem for all players. Additionally, you will receive a certain amount of Sponsor Marks together with the new item.

The Merging system in BOSS FIGHTERS offers a rich tapestry of strategic choices and opportunities, from selecting and locking Power & Value Perks to navigating the intricacies of odd and even rarities. By mastering these mechanics, you can significantly enhance the utility and value of your items, shaping your journey through BOSS FIGHTERS in a uniquely personal and strategic way. Embrace the depth of the Merging process, and let your decisions pave the way to victory and prestige in the game.
