Hoard Mimic — epic elusive pet. Every chest in the game pays more.
Overview
Hoard Mimic is a epic elusive pet: Every chest in the game pays more.

Abilities
This pet has 3 abilities and unlocks them one per star: the first is live from the day you get it, the second needs 2★, the third 3★ (see fusion below).
| ★ | Ability | Lv 1 | Lv 25 | Lv 50 | Lv 75 | Lv 100 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1★ | Hoarder's Cut | +0.00% | +2.4% | +4.9% | +7.5% | +10% |
| 2★ | Full Belly | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 |
| 3★ | Rigged Wheel | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
- Hoarder's Cut — EVERY chest in the game pays this much more — Chest Rush chests, the Meadow Mole's buried treasure and the Dragon's Hoard Hunt alike. Coins, gems, balls and gold balls.
- Full Belly — Every Chest Rush run starts with 2 extra balls.
- Rigged Wheel — Raises the Chest Rush multiplier wheel's FLOOR by 1 — its worst spin becomes a 2× instead of a 1×.
Stars and fusion
Fuse 3 copies at the same star into one at the next — guaranteed, at the Fusion forge. The XP invested in all three copies is pooled into the result.
| Fuse | Needs | Essence |
|---|---|---|
| 1★ → 2★ | 3 × 1★ Hoard Mimic |  2,000 |
| 2★ → 3★ | 3 × 2★ Hoard Mimic | 6,000 |
Each star switches on the next ability in the table above.
A 3★ copy can become shiny by fusing an owned shiny Hoard Mimic into it for 10,000 — see Shiny pets.
