# Chicken Progression
### **What is Progression?**
Progression in Chicken Saga is a multi-layered system that lets you permanently strengthen your chickens through:
* **Battles** → Gain EXP → Level Up → Earn SP
* **SP Allocation** → Increase GP → Boost Stats
* **Items** → Capsules for quick GP gains, Pills for instant levels
* **Burning** → Sacrifice chickens for crafting materials
***
### **Experience & Leveling**
**How Do Chickens Gain EXP?**
Your chicken gains experience by participating in battles
**Win a Battle (uphill or same level):**
EXP Gained = floor( 33 × (1 + 0.1 × (OpponentLevel - YourLevel)) )
**Win a Battle (downhill — opponent is weaker):**
EXP Gained = floor( 33 × (OpponentLevel / YourLevel) )
**Examples:**
* Beat a same-level opponent: **33 EXP**
* Beat an opponent 5 levels higher: **49 EXP**
* Beat an opponent 10 levels higher: **66 EXP**
* Beat an opponent 5 levels lower (lvl 15 vs lvl 10): **22 EXP**
* Beat an opponent 98 levels lower (lvl 99 vs lvl 1): **0 EXP**
**Draw a Battle:** Both fighters don’t get EXP in a draw!
**Lose a Battle:** EXP Gained = 0
#### **Level Requirements**
Leveling up takes progressively more EXP. Here’s what you’re up against:
| Level | EXP Needed | Total EXP |
| ------ | ---------- | --------- |
| 1→2 | 98 | 98 |
| 2→3 | 242 | 340 |
| 5→6 | 687 | 2,456 |
| 10→11 | 1,154 | 7,314 |
| 25→26 | 2,272 | 32,069 |
| 50→51 | 4,055 | 115,761 |
| 75→76 | 5,594 | 237,398 |
| 99→100 | 6,977 | 389,105 |
**Max Level:** 100
Once your chicken reaches level 100, it stops gaining EXP but keeps all its stats and training!
***
### **Milestone Stat Growth!**
**Your chicken gets stronger at milestone levels based on its Innate Points (IP)!**
Stat growth happens at **milestone levels: 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, and 100**.
The amount of growth depends on your chicken’s **Innate Points (IP)** — hidden stats stored in each chicken’s metadata (0-40 range).
| IP Range | Regular Stat Growth | HP Growth |
| -------- | ------------------- | ---------------- |
| 0-19 | +1 per milestone | +3 per milestone |
| 20-39 | +2 per milestone | +6 per milestone |
| 40 | +3 per milestone | +9 per milestone |
**How IP Affects Growth:**
* **Innate Attack** → Attack growth
* **Innate Defense** → Defense growth
* **Innate Speed** → Speed growth
* **Innate Health** → HP growth
* **Innate Cockrage** → Cockrage growth
* **Innate Ferocity** → Ferocity growth
* **Innate Evasion** → Evasion growth
**Example:**
* Your chicken has Innate Attack=40, Innate Health=25
* It crosses level 10 (a milestone!)
* Attack gets +3 (because IP 40 gives max growth)
* HP gets +6 (because IP 25 is in the 20-39 range)
* Cockrage also gets +3 (derived from Attack IP)
* You also get SP to spend on GP training!
**This is FREE and automatic!**
* No SP cost required
* Happens at milestone levels only (every 10 levels)
* Higher IP chickens grow significantly more
* Total of 10 milestones from level 1 to 100
***
### **Skill Points (SP) - Your Currency for Growth**
**What Are Skill Points?**
Skill Points (SP) are the currency you spend to train your chicken’s stats. You earn SP automatically when leveling up.
#### **SP Rewards Per Level**
SP rewards increase every 10 levels, and **Regular chickens get MORE SP than Genesis**:
**Regular Chickens:**
| Level Range | SP Per Level | Total SP for Range |
| ----------- | ------------ | ------------------ |
| 1-10 | 8 | 80 |
| 11-20 | 9 | 90 |
| 21-30 | 10 | 100 |
| 31-40 | 11 | 110 |
| 41-50 | 12 | 120 |
| 51-60 | 12 | 120 |
| 61-70 | 13 | 130 |
| 71-80 | 14 | 140 |
| 81-90 | 15 | 150 |
| 91-100 | 16 | 160 |
| **TOTAL** | **—** | **1,200** |
**Genesis Chickens:**
| Level Range | SP Per Level | Total SP for Range |
| ----------- | ------------ | ------------------ |
| 1-20 | 5 | 100 |
| 21-30 | 6 | 60 |
| 31-60 | 7 | 210 |
| 61-70 | 8 | 80 |
| 71-90 | 9 | 180 |
| 91-100 | 10 | 100 |
| **TOTAL** | **—** | **730** |
#### **SP Pools**
Every chicken tracks SP in several categories:
* **Total SP** - Lifetime SP earned from leveling
* **Available SP** - Unspent SP ready to use
* **Used SP** - SP already allocated to stats
* **Capsule SP** - Bonus SP pool for capsules only (200 for Regular, 300 for Genesis)
***
### **Grit Points (GP) - Training Your Stats**
**What Are Grit Points?**
Grit Points (GP) represent how much you’ve trained a specific stat. Each stat can reach **GP Level 119**.
**Which Stats Can Be Trained?**
All 7 combat stats can receive GP: ✅ Attack ✅ Defense ✅ Speed ✅ HP ✅ Cockrage ✅ Ferocity ✅ Evasion
❌ **Instinct cannot be trained with GP**
#### **GP Training Costs**
The cost to increase GP depends on the current tier:
| Tier | GP Level Range | SP Cost Per GP | Total SP for Tier |
| --------- | -------------- | -------------- | ----------------- |
| 1 | 0-19 | 2 | 40 |
| 2 | 20-39 | 3 | 60 |
| 3 | 40-59 | 4 | 80 |
| 4 | 60-79 | 5 | 100 |
| 5 | 80-99 | 6 | 120 |
| 6 | 100-119 | 7 | 140 |
| **TOTAL** | **0-119** | **—** | **540** |
To max a single stat costs 540 SP
**How Many Stats Can I Max?**
**Regular Chickens:** - 1,200 total SP - Can max **2 stats** (2 × 540 = 1,080 SP) with 120 SP left over
**Genesis Chickens:** - 730 total SP - Can max **1 stat** (540 SP) with 190 SP left over
**Example:**
* Your Attack is at GP level 25 (Tier 2)
* You allocate 10 GP - Cost: 10 × 3 SP = 30 SP
* New Attack GP: 35
#### **GP Reset (Respec System) 🔄**
**Made a mistake with your stat allocation? You can reset and start over!**
**Cost:** $10 worth of $RON tokens (IAP)
**What Happens:**
* All GP values reset to 0 (Attack, Defense, Speed, HP, Cockrage, Ferocity, Evasion)
* All used SP refunded to your available SP pool
* You can re-allocate your SP however you want
**Example:**
* Your chicken has 540 used SP distributed across stats
* You reset for $10 worth of $RON
* All GP values become 0
* You get 540 SP back to spend differently
**Important Notes:**
* ✅ Cannot reset if you have no GP allocated (all stats already at 0)
* ✅ Does NOT reset your level or total SP earned
* ✅ Does NOT affect automatic stat growth from leveling up
* 💡 Use this to optimize your build as the meta changes!
***
### **Burning Chickens for Resources**
**Why Burn a Chicken?**
When you burn a chicken, it’s permanently destroyed, but you get valuable crafting materials:
* **Vitamins** (7 types, one per stat)
* **Neon Balls** (chance-based)
These materials are used to craft Capsules and Grower Pills!
**What Can Be Burned?**
✅ Chickens you own ✅ Chickens in “normal” or “faint” state
❌ Chickens already “dead” ❌ Chickens on adventures ❌ Chickens you don’t own
#### **Vitamin Yield Formula**
Each stat produces a corresponding vitamin based on current stat value:
Vitamins = Stat Value × Multiplier
| Stat | Multiplier | Vitamin Type |
| -------- | ---------- | ------------ |
| Attack | 1.0 | Vitamin A |
| Defense | 1.0 | Vitamin D |
| Speed | 1.0 | Vitamin S |
| HP | 0.33 | Vitamin H |
| Cockrage | 1.0 | Vitamin C |
| Ferocity | 1.0 | Vitamin F |
| Evasion | 1.0 | Vitamin E |
**Example:**
Burning a chicken with:
* Attack: 86 → **86 Vitamin A**
* Defense: 76 → **76 Vitamin D**
* HP: 291 → **96 Vitamin H** (291 × 0.33 = 96.03, rounded down)
#### **Breeding Bonus 🥚**
**Chickens that have bred produce more vitamins when burned!**
The bonus scales **exponentially** to match the exponential breeding costs - the more you invested in breeding, the bigger the payoff when burning!
| Breed Count | Multiplier | Example (80 stat) | Capsules Worth |
| ----------- | ----------- | ----------------- | ---------------- |
| 0 | 1.00x | 80 vitamins | \~0.25 |
| 1 | 1.50x | 120 vitamins | \~0.4 |
| 2 | 2.25x | 180 vitamins | \~0.6 |
| 3 | 3.75x | **300 vitamins** | **\~1 capsule** |
| 4 | 4.75x | 380 vitamins | \~1.25 |
| 5 | 5.75x | 460 vitamins | \~1.5 |
| 6 | 6.75x | 540 vitamins | \~1.8 |
| 7+ | 7.50x (cap) | **600 vitamins** | **\~2 capsules** |
> 💡 **Tip:** A chicken with breed count 7+ gives **7.5x more vitamins** than one that never bred! Breed count 3 is the sweet spot for crafting a full capsule per stat.
**Example:**
Burning a chicken with breed count 3 (3.75x multiplier):
* Attack: 80 → **300 Vitamin A** (80 × 1.0 × 3.75 = 300)
* Defense: 85 → **318 Vitamin D** (85 × 1.0 × 3.75 = 318.75, rounded down)
* HP: 250 → **309 Vitamin H** (250 × 0.33 × 3.75 = 309.37, rounded down)
#### **Neon Ball Drop Chance**
Neon Balls drop based on luck and level. Higher-level chickens get both better odds AND more rolls!
**Drop Chance per Roll:**
```
Drop Chance = 0.69% + 99.31% × (Level / 100) ^ 1.15
```
**Number of Rolls by Level:**
| Level Range | Rolls |
| ----------- | ----- |
| 1-16 | 1 |
| 17-33 | 2 |
| 34-50 | 3 |
| 51-66 | 4 |
| 67-83 | 5 |
| 84-100 | 6 |
| Level | Drop Chance | Rolls | Expected Neon Balls |
| ----- | ----------- | ----- | ------------------- |
| 1 | 1.19% | 1 | 0.01 |
| 10 | 7.72% | 1 | 0.08 |
| 20 | 16.29% | 2 | 0.33 |
| 50 | 45.44% | 3 | 1.36 |
| 75 | 72.03% | 5 | 3.60 |
| 100 | 100% | 6 | **6** |
Each successful roll awards **1 Neon Ball**, up to a max of **6 at level 100**!

### **Using Capsules**
**What Are Capsules?**
Capsules instantly increase a stat’s GP by +1. Perfect for quick boosts without spending regular SP!
**How to Get Capsules**
**Craft them!**
500 $COCK + 15 Feathers + 300 Vitamins = 1 Capsule
**Capsule Types**
* **HP Capsule** (Vitamin H) → +1 HP GP
* **Attack Capsule** (Vitamin A) → +1 Attack GP
* **Defense Capsule** (Vitamin D) → +1 Defense GP
* **Speed Capsule** (Vitamin S) → +1 Speed GP
* **Cockrage Capsule** (Vitamin C) → +1 Cockrage GP
* **Ferocity Capsule** (Vitamin F) → +1 Ferocity GP
* **Evasion Capsule** (Vitamin E) → +1 Evasion GP
**Capsule Pool**
Capsules consume SP from a **separate bonus pool**:
* **Regular Chickens:** 200 Capsule SP
* **Genesis Chickens:** 300 Capsule SP
This SP is separate from your regular SP and can only be used for capsules!
**SP Cost:** Same as regular GP allocation (2-7 SP depending on tier)
***
### **Grower Pills - Instant Level Ups**
**What Is a Grower Pill?**
A Grower Pill instantly levels up your chicken by +1, resets EXP to 0, and awards SP just like a natural level up!
**How to Get Grower Pills**
**Craft them!**
1500 $COCK + 3 Legendary Feathers + 3 Neon Balls = 1 Grower Pill
**What Happens?**
* Level increases by +1
* EXP resets to 0
* ExpToNextLevel updates to new level requirement
* SP awarded based on chicken type and new level
**Example:** - Level 44 → Level 45 - EXP: 2500 → 0 - SP Awarded: 12 (Regular) or 7 (Genesis)
***
### **Frequently Asked Questions**
**Q: Can I reset my GP allocation?**
A: Yes! You can reset all GP to 0 and get your used SP refunded for a cost of $10 worth of $RON tokens.
**Q: Do my stats automatically increase when I level up?**
A: Stats grow at milestone levels (10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100) based on your chicken’s Innate Points (IP). Higher IP = more growth. Regular stats get +1 to +3 per milestone, HP gets +3 to +9 per milestone.
**Q: Do I lose GP if my chicken dies in battle?**
A: No! GP and levels are permanent. Only Regular chickens can die in battle—Genesis chickens faint instead and recover automatically at the next reset.
**Q: Can I trade chickens with high GP?**
A: Yes! All progression stats transfer with the chicken.
**Q: What’s the fastest way to level up?**
A: Battle frequently and use Grower Pills when you have neon balls to spare.
**Q: Should I use capsules or save them?**
A: Use capsules when pushing stats past GP 100, as they’re more efficient than regular SP in high tiers.
**Q: Can dead chickens be revived?**
A: No, once burned or killed, a chicken is permanently gone.
**Q: Does breeding count affect burning rewards?**
A: Yes! Breeding bonus scales significantly: 1.5x, 2.25x, 3.75x, 4.75x, 5.75x, 6.75x, up to 7.5x at 7+ breeds. Breed count 3 is the sweet spot - it yields enough vitamins (\~300) to craft 1 capsule per stat for typical 80-stat chickens.
**Q: Do stats from GP affect battle performance?**
A: Currently, GP is tracked but not yet applied to combat calculations. This is coming in a future update!
