Toxic
Kills its own colour at full strength; any other colour only coats the pest.
The Garden
The rules of the arena and the world around it.
Reactions
Mix two colours on one pest.
Rot
Damage over time. When the rotting pest dies, the rot spreads to pests nearby.
Gum
Pests around it are stuck in place for 2 s and take 25% more damage.
Nectar Burst
Explodes on the pests around it and heals the flower 1% for each one hit.
Compost
All three sprays in a row: the pest turns to compost and drops bonus pollen. Bosses and champions lose 12% of their life (once every 8 s).
Coats and compost
- A pest hit by a wrong colour is coated for 4.0 s; a second colour on a coated pest sets off a reaction.
- All three colours in a row turn the pest to compost, which showers pollen.
- Bosses can be composted too, once every 8.0 s, for 12% of their life.
Flowers
The flower is the second build axis: each one changes how the battle plays.
Megga-chrysanthemum
The classic. Balanced health and growth.
Sunburst Marigold
Grows 35% faster but wilts easily.
Thornrose
Tough and thorny: biters take damage. Grows a little slower.
Moonlily
Its healing aura is awake from the first second.
Rainbow Lily
Pests near it are coated in a random wrong spray - a reaction engine. Attracts 20% more pests.
Nightbloom
Grows only while pests die within 7 m of it. Brawl close, keep it fed.
The Map
Three acts of seven rows; every path is a choice of plots, services and the boss bed.
Pest Patch
A wave of pests. Make the flower bloom.
Infested Bed
A tougher wave with elite pests. Guaranteed loot.
Seed Shop
Spend pollen on guns, mods and garden kit.
Greenhouse
Heal the flower fully and pick a flower upgrade.
Seed Chest
Pick one of three sprayer parts.
Boss Bed
The act boss. Survive until the flower blooms.
Weather
Each plot has its weather: the light, the air and the sound change, never the rules.
Sunny
A low golden sun and lilac shade.
Petal Breeze
Warm light, and pink petals drift across the arena on the breeze.
Morning Mist
Soft light and a cool haze that thickens with distance; the pests never fade into it.
Rain
Cool light, rain streaks and splashes, and a wet floor with a soft sheen.
Thunderstorm
Heavy rain, soft lightning flickers and thunder rolling in a moment later.
Hazards and Hexes
What the pests do besides biting.
Poison
Toxic puddles and trails poison the gardener: 5.0 damage a second per stack, up to 3 stacks. Step out, drink a flask or raise the Ward.
Hex Of Slowness
A hexer chants, then the hex lands: you move 45% slower. Stun, trap or kill the hexer mid-chant, or raise the Ward.
Hex Of Weakness
A hexer chants, then the hex lands: you deal 35% less damage. Stun, trap or kill the hexer mid-chant, or raise the Ward.
Hex Of Drain
A hexer chants, then the hex lands: nectar drains and spells cost 50% more. Stun, trap or kill the hexer mid-chant, or raise the Ward.

The Almanac
24 objectives that unlock flower spells and starting guns.
Hardcore
The mode where it counts.
Hardcore rules
- One gardener, one life: if the gardener falls, the character is gone and its armory with it. A lost flower only fails the run.
- After a won Hardcore run, up to 6 pieces of gear can be kept in that gardener's armory; one of them can join the next run at item level 1, its legendary power asleep until the first boss.
- In development. Server-saved Hardcore accounts, trading and ranked play arrive with online play (see the roadmap).
