Eventually, everyone will want to increase their Bee’s Strength, Luck, and Agility. Who wouldn't want to make their Queen even more regal!? This is where the game gets really exciting. Learning why and how to apply upgrades is fun.
Redeeming the shards you have been gathering is the heart of the upgrade process. Visit your Inventory to do that. If you want to upgrade your Bees and don’t want to wait until you have enough shards, you can purchase upgrades from the Item Markeplace.
Upgrading your Queen increases her Level and can affect her stats and Mood depending on the rarity of the upgrade used. (see chart below for details)
A Queen’s Level shows how many upgrade slots she will pass on to her offspring when she Breeds. The more upgrade slots a Bee has, the more you can improve its stats!
Example: A Level 12 Queen will produce offspring with 12 upgrade slots, allowing that Bee to be upgraded a maximum of 12 times.
Reminder: When a Queen’s Mood matches with the Mood of Bees sent on Missions it provides a Boost to your Bee’s stats for that Mission. This can have a big impact on the result of the Mission.
Advanced tip:
If you are trying to Breed a perfect Queen with all stats between 270 - 280 you can do a few things to increase the chance that it will happen.
- When picking the Queen you are using to create a new Queen, she should have stats as close to 280 as possible. The higher the stats, the higher the chance you land a perfect Queen as she provides 25% of her stats as base stats to the offspring.
- If she isn't at Level 20, you can use Legendary or Mythic Queen Upgrades to increase her stats. Remember, the level of a Queen tells you how many upgrade slots she will pass to her offspring when she Breeds.
- Once you are ready to Breed her, use a Mythic Royal Jelly to maximize your chances at a high stat offspring.
- If you are happy with the stats of your new Queen, you can use Epic Queen upgrades to bring her up to level 20 without affecting her stats.
Upgrade items are available in different rarities. The rarer the upgrade item, the greater the stat improvement it provides. The number of shards you need to redeem to create an upgrade item increases according to rarity.
