Quick Answer
Grow a Garden has 60+ mutations that multiply crop Sheckle values. The highest is Abyssal at 240x, formed by fusing Eclipsed and Voidtouched. Voidtouched (135x) is the highest single mutation from weather. Celestial is 120x (not 100x as many sites claim). Shocked is 100x from Thunderstorm. The stacking formula is: Weight × Variant × [1 + Sum of mutations − Count]. Last updated: May 2026.
What Mutations Actually Are
A mutation is a modifier that appears on a harvested crop and multiplies its base Sheckle value by a fixed amount. That's the whole mechanic. Simple in concept, complicated in execution because there are over 60 of them, they interact in non-obvious ways, and the stacking formula isn't what most players assume.
Two things trip people up most:
- First, Celestial is 120x, not 100x. Almost every community guide still lists 100x because that was the old value before a patch changed it. If your calculator says Celestial is worth 100x, it's wrong.
- Second, mutations don't just multiply each other. The formula has structure. Understanding it is the difference between calculating your crop value correctly and being off by a factor of ten.
Both of these are covered below.
The Stacking Formula — How Mutations Actually Calculate
Three separate brackets. Applied in order.
Step 1 — Weight
This is quadratic — doubling your crop's weight doesn't double the value, it quadruples it. Most players miss this. The weight multiplier applies first, before variants and mutations touch the value.
Step 2 — Variants
Variants are Silver (5x), Gold (20x), and Rainbow (50x). Only one variant per crop. Applied as a direct multiplier after weight.
Key thing most players get wrong: Rainbow is not a regular mutation. It's a variant. It doesn't go in the environmental mutation pile. It multiplies everything else after the bracket resolves.
Rainbow also has a condition most guides skip: the Butterfly pet only applies Rainbow when the crop already has 5 or more environmental mutations active. Without that threshold, no Rainbow from the Butterfly. The Random 0.1% chance and Rainbow Fertilizer don't have this requirement.
Step 3 — Environmental Mutations
This is the bracket:
These mutations stack additively inside the bracket. They do not multiply each other.
Example with Shocked (100x) + Wet (2x):
[1 + (100 + 2) − 2] = 101
Combined with Gold variant on a 2x weight crop:
2 (weight) × 20 (Gold) × 101 (bracket) = 4,040x total multiplier
Real Example calculation
Moon Melon (600,000 base), 2x weight, Gold variant, Shocked + Wet:

All Mutations — Complete Verified List
Sorted by multiplier, highest to lowest. All values verified May 2026.
FUSED MUTATIONS (Form automatically from two sources)
These replace both source mutations when triggered. Watch for them.
| Mutation | Multiplier | Requires |
|---|---|---|
| Abyssal | 240x | Eclipsed + Voidtouched on same crop |
| Cosmic | 240x | Aurora + Celestial on same crop |
| Paradisal | 100x | Verdant + Sundried on same crop |
| Maelstrom | 100x | Tempestuous + Cyclonic on same crop |
| HarmonisedChakra | 35x | Chakra + CorruptChakra on same crop |
| Corrosive | 40x | Acidic + Toxic on same crop |
| Blazing | 52x | Molten + Flaming on same crop |
| Gloom | 30x | Bloom + Rot on same crop |
| Frozen | 10x | Wet/Drenched + Chilled on same crop |
| Clay | 5x | Wet + Sandy on same crop |
About Cosmic and Abyssal: Both are 240x — which looks great until you do the math. The source mutations for Cosmic (Aurora 90x + Celestial 120x) stack to 12,960x using the bracket formula. The fused Cosmic gives 240x. Fusion is not always an upgrade. If you're deliberately running Aurora + Celestial stacks, avoid pets or gear that simultaneously boost both, or you'll trigger the fusion and lose value.
VARIANT MUTATIONS (Only one per crop — separate from the bracket)
| Variant | Multiplier | How to Get | Chance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rainbow | 50x | Random; Super Seed; Rainbow Fertilizer; Butterfly pet (needs 5+ active mutations) | 0.1% |
| Gold | 20x | Random; Super Seed; Gold Fertilizer; Dragonfly, Cockatrice, Golden Bee pet | 1% |
| Silver | 5x | Random; Silver Fertilizer; Cockatrice pet; Crystal Beam weather | 1 |
TOP-TIER ENVIRONMENTAL MUTATIONS (100x and above)
| Mutation | Multiplier | Source | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Voidtouched | 135x | Black Hole weather event | Highest single-source weather mutation. Also the base for Abyssal fusion. |
| Disco | 125x | Disco Bee pet only | Legendary+ crops during specific server events. Pet-only source. |
| Meteoric | 125x | Meteor Shower weather; Lobster Thermidor pet | Same multiplier as Disco. More farmable because it's weather-based. |
| Celestial | 120x | Struck by meteor during Meteor Shower; Crystal Beam weather | Commonly listed as 100x elsewhere — that's wrong. Verified 120x. |
| Shocked | 100x | Lightning bolt during Thunderstorm; Crystal Beam; Jandel/Flamingo Storm admin events; Mutation Spray Shocked | Most accessible top-tier mutation. No pet required. |
| Brainrot | 100x | Brainrot Portal event; Lemon Lion pet | Same multiplier as Shocked. Rarer source. |

| Corrupt | 20x | Corrupt Zen Aura weather; Corrupted pets; Corrupted Kodama harvest | Dark variant of Tranquil. |
| Gold (Variant) | 20x | Covered in Variants table above | — |
LOWER-TIER MUTATIONS (10–19x)
| Mutation | Multiplier | Source | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Frozen | 10x | Wet/Drenched + Chilled fused; Flower Froster Sprinkler; Sushi Bear/Polar Bear pet | One of the best farmable mid-tier mutations. Keep crops wet during Frost = Frozen. |
| Amber | 10x | Raptor pet when harvesting; Mutation Spray Amber | Ages into OldAmber → AncientAmber. Time-based value chain. |
| Cooked | 10x | Cooked Owl pet; Mutation Spray Cooked | Two sources. |
STANDARD FARMABLE MUTATIONS (2–9x)

Detailed Mutation Guide — Multipliers, Sources & Strategy
Deep-dive into every significant mutation in Grow a Garden. Each section follows the latest May 2026 balance patches.
Twisted Mutation — 5x Multiplier
Twisted mutation gives a 5x multiplier in Grow a Garden. It triggers during Tornado weather events and is also applied by the Pterodactyl pet.
Twisted is worth including in mutation stacks. A 5x addition inside the bracket formula: if you already have Shocked (100x) + Twisted (5x), your bracket becomes 1 + (100 + 5) − 2 = 104x instead of 101x. Not massive, but passive and free during Tornado events.
Twisted also fuses thematically with Cyclonic (from the Griffin pet) to work toward Maelstrom — though these two don't directly fuse together; Maelstrom requires specific conditions.
How to get: Plant crops before a Tornado weather event. Leave in ground during event. Also from Pterodactyl pet (applies automatically in range).
Tempestuous Mutation — 2x Multiplier
Tempestuous triggers during Gale weather events and from the Pterodactyl pet. Its standalone multiplier is confirmed at 2x from community testing.
Its primary value is as a fusion component. Tempestuous + Cyclonic (from Griffin pet) = Maelstrom (100x fused). If you're building toward Maelstrom, you need both a Pterodactyl pet (Tempestuous source) and a Griffin pet (Cyclonic source) active simultaneously on the same crop.
How to get: Gale weather event or Pterodactyl pet.
Corrupted Chakra (CorruptChakra) Mutation
Corrupted Chakra comes from the Corrupted Kitsune pet and Corrupted Kodama harvests. Standalone multiplier is low — its value is in fusion.
Corrupted Chakra + regular Chakra mutation = HarmonisedChakra (35x fused). To get regular Chakra, you need the Kitsune pet or specific admin events.
How to get: Corrupted Kitsune pet (Prismatic rarity) or Corrupted Kodama harvest.
Molten Mutation — 25x Multiplier
Molten gives a 25x multiplier. It comes from touching Magma during Volcano or Armageddon admin events, or from the Lobster Thermidor pet.
Molten's main play is fusion: Molten (25x) + Flaming (25x, from Phoenix pet) on the same crop creates Blazing (52x fused). The fusion beats stacking them separately (which would give [1 + (25+25) − 2] = 49x). Blazing fusion = 52x — a 3x gain from fusion.
How to get: Lobster Thermidor pet (most reliable), Volcano weather, Armageddon admin event.
Zombified Mutation — 25x Multiplier
Zombified gives a 25x multiplier. It's applied by the Chicken Zombie pet with a 20% chance per 30 minutes on crops in its range.
This is one of the best consistent mutation pets in the game. 20% chance every 30 minutes means roughly one Zombified crop per 2.5 hours of passive farming — no weather event needed, no special conditions.
How to get: Chicken Zombie pet only. Keep it equipped on your highest-value crop plot.
Multiplier confirmed: 25x (some outdated sources say 24x — incorrect).
Flaming Mutation — 25x Multiplier
Flaming mutation gives 25x. It comes exclusively from the Phoenix pet.
Like Molten, Flaming's main purpose is fusion: Flaming + Molten = Blazing (52x). If you have both Phoenix and Lobster Thermidor pets active on the same crop simultaneously, the fusion can trigger automatically.
How to get: Phoenix pet only (Divine rarity).
HoneyGlazed Mutation — 5x Multiplier
HoneyGlazed was patched from 16x to 5x in the May 2, 2026 Bizzy Bee update. If you see 16x anywhere, that's outdated.
Current value: 5x. Sources: Honey Sprinkler gear, Bear Bee pet, Mutation Spray HoneyGlazed.
Bear Bee pet applies it passively to nearby crops — it's a reliable passive 5x that stacks freely with other mutations.
Pollinated Mutation — 3x Multiplier
Pollinated was patched from 11x to 3x in the May 2, 2026 Bizzy Bee update. Many sites still show 11x — it is wrong.
Current value: 3x. Sources: All Bee-type pets, Bee Swarm events, Beenado, Worker Bee event, Bee Storm, Mutation Spray Pollinated.
Despite the nerf, Pollinated is still worth having — it's a free 3x that stacks with anything else during Bee Swarm events.
Frozen Mutation — 10x Multiplier (Fused)
Frozen is a fused mutation at 10x. It forms when a crop has Wet (2x) or Drenched (5x) already active and then gets hit by Frost or Blizzard weather.
The source mutations (Wet + Chilled) are both removed and replaced by Frozen when fusion occurs.
This is one of the most farmable mid-tier mutations. The process: keep crops watered (sprinkler or Rain weather), then leave them in ground during Frost event. Frozen forms automatically.
Also obtainable directly from: Sushi Bear pet, Polar Bear pet, Flower Froster Sprinkler.
Note: This is NOT a weather mutation in isolation — it requires fusion of two conditions.
Static Mutation — 8x Multiplier
Static mutation gives 8x. It's applied by the Raiju pet, which activates after the Raiju devours a Shocked crop. Once activated, the Raiju applies Static to nearby crops.
This creates an interesting combo: farm during Thunderstorm (Shocked 100x on crops), let Raiju devour one Shocked crop, then Raiju applies Static (8x) to the remaining crops. You get Shocked on some crops and Static on others simultaneously.
How to get: Raiju pet only (Divine rarity).
Aromatic Mutation — 3x Multiplier
Aromatic gives 3x and comes from Cooking Storm weather events or by reaching 40 points with the Chris P. event NPC.
It's a passive bonus during Cooking Storm — just leave crops in ground during the event and they'll pick it up. Stacks freely with all other environmental mutations.
Burnt Mutation — 4x Multiplier
Burnt gives 4x. Sources: Cooked Owl pet, Red Dragon pet, Armageddon admin event, Mutation Spray Burnt.
It's not worth farming specifically — 4x is mid-tier and the pet sources are limited. If your Cooked Owl is applying it passively to your crops, keep it. If you're considering buying a Cooked Owl specifically for Burnt, the cost-to-value ratio isn't great compared to Chicken Zombie (25x) or Disco Bee (125x).
Voidtouched Mutation — 135x Multiplier
Voidtouched is the highest single-source standard mutation in Grow a Garden at 135x. It triggers during Black Hole weather events — the rarest standard weather event.
When farming for Voidtouched: have your S-tier crops (Zebrazinkle, Bone Blossom) in ground before the event. Don't harvest during the event — let Voidtouched apply, then harvest.
Voidtouched is also one half of the Abyssal fusion (240x). If you have Eclipsed active on a crop and a Black Hole event starts, the two fuse into Abyssal automatically.
How to get: Black Hole weather event only.
Celestial Mutation — 120x Multiplier
Celestial gives 120x. It comes from Meteor Shower weather events or Crystal Beam admin events. Crystal Beam is notable because it simultaneously triggers Shocked (100x), Celestial (120x), and Aurora (90x) on the same crops.
Many community wikis and sites still list Celestial as 100x. This was patched. Current verified value is 120x. If your calculator shows 100x for Celestial, the values it gives you are 20% lower than the real amount.
Celestial can also combine with Aurora (90x) to form Cosmic (240x fused). This sounds good but isn't always better than stacking — see the Mutations Guide for the math.
Aurora Mutation — 90x Multiplier
Aurora gives 90x and comes from Aurora Borealis weather events and Crystal Beam admin events. Crystal Beam is notable because it simultaneously triggers Shocked (100x), Celestial (120x), and Aurora (90x) on the same crops.
Aurora fuses with Celestial to create Cosmic (240x). However, if both Aurora and Celestial are on a crop and you're stacking them separately, the bracket gives [1 + (90 + 120) − 2] = 209x. Fused Cosmic = 240x. In this case fusion wins — but only marginally. Add Rainbow variant: 209 × 50 = 10,450x vs 240 × 50 = 12,000x. Fusion is better with Rainbow.
Blazing Mutation — 52x Fused Multiplier
Blazing is a fused mutation at 52x. It forms when Molten (25x) and Flaming (25x) are both active on the same crop simultaneously.
Stack calculation without fusion: [1 + (25 + 25) − 2] = 49x
Fused Blazing: 52x — 3x better.
This is one of the only fusions that's straightforwardly better than stacking the sources separately. If you have both Lobster Thermidor (Molten source) and Phoenix (Flaming source) pets, Blazing will trigger automatically when both apply to the same crop.
Fortune Mutation — 50x Multiplier
Fortune mutation gives 50x and comes from the Golden Goose pet when it lays a Golden Egg, or from selling a Golden Egg. It's a pet-exclusive mutation with a thematic connection to gold-based drops.
Paradisal Mutation — 100x Fused Multiplier
Paradisal is a fused mutation at 100x. It forms when Verdant (4x, from Scarlet Macaw pet or Solar Flare) and Sundried (85x, from Heatwave weather) are both active on the same crop.
How to get Paradisal:
- Keep Scarlet Macaw pet active on your crop plot (applies Verdant)
- Wait for a Heatwave weather event (applies Sundried)
- If both trigger on the same crop → Paradisal (100x) forms automatically
This is farmable with the right pet. Heatwave events are infrequent but not rare.
Cyclonic Mutation — 50x Multiplier
Cyclonic gives 50x and comes from the Griffin pet. It fuses with Tempestuous (from Pterodactyl pet) toward Maelstrom (100x fused).
If you have both Griffin and Pterodactyl pets active simultaneously on the same crop during a Gale event, conditions are met for fusion.
Oil Mutation
Oil mutation creates a slick visual effect on crops. Exact multiplier is unconfirmed from community testing as of May 2026. It appears in specific admin events and mutation sprays.
If you have confirmed in-game data on the Oil multiplier, contact us — we update within 24 hours.
Abyssal Mutation — 240x Multiplier (Highest)
Abyssal is the highest mutation currently available in Grow a Garden, granting a massive 240x multiplier. It is a fused mutation, meaning it cannot be obtained directly from weather or pets. It only forms when a crop already has Eclipsed (20x) and Voidtouched (135x) active at the same time.
Because these weather events (Solar Eclipse and Black Hole) are separate, you must keep an Eclipsed crop unharvested until a Black Hole event begins. When Voidtouched triggers on that same crop, they fuse into Abyssal. This is the ultimate goal for top-tier trade value.
How to get: Fused: Eclipsed + Voidtouched on a single crop.
Sauce Mutation — 3x Multiplier
Sauce is part of the "Spaghetti" mutation set in Grow a Garden, offering a 3x Sheckle multiplier. It is exclusively applied by the Spaghetti Sloth pet during harvesting. While 3x is a lower multiplier, it is part of a thematic set that collectors often look for when building specialized garden themes.
How to get: Spaghetti Sloth pet only.
Meatball Mutation — 3x Multiplier
Meatball mutation offers a 3x multiplier and is another component of the Spaghetti set. Like Sauce, it is applied by the Spaghetti Sloth pet. When multiple Spaghetti-themed mutations stack on a single crop, the visual effect transforms the plant into a meatball-covered variety.
How to get: Spaghetti Sloth pet only.
Pasta Mutation — 3x Multiplier
Pasta gives a 3x multiplier and completes the Spaghetti mutation trio in Grow a Garden. Applied by the Spaghetti Sloth pet, this mutation is essential for players aiming to create a full "Dinner Harvest" theme in their garden.
How to get: Spaghetti Sloth pet only.
Wet Mutation — 2x Multiplier
Wet is the most common early-game mutation in Grow a Garden, providing a 2x multiplier. It is extremely easy to get — simply planting crops during Rain or Thunderstorm weather, or using any Sprinkler gear, will apply Wet to your plants.
While the multiplier is low, Wet is a critical "base" mutation because it allows for the formation of the Frozen (10x) fused mutation if the weather turns to Frost. Always keep your crops wet if a Frost event is approaching.
How to get: Rain, Thunderstorm, Sprinklers, or Sea Turtle pet.
Drenched Mutation — 5x Multiplier
Drenched is the upgraded version of the Wet mutation, offering a higher 5x multiplier. It appears during Tropical Rain events or can be applied by the "Water Your Garden" and "Rain Dance" server events. Drenched replaces the Wet mutation if it is already active on a crop.
Like Wet, Drenched can be used as a base for the Frozen fusion, making it a valuable multiplier to track during tropical weather cycles.
How to get: Tropical Rain event or specific water-themed server boosters.
Bloom Mutation — 8x Multiplier
Bloom gives an 8x multiplier and is primarily sourced from the Spriggan pet or via Bloom Mutation Spray. It features a bright floral visual effect on the crop.
Bloom's most Important role is in the Gloom (30x) fusion. When a crop has both Bloom and Rot multipliers active, they fuse into Gloom. If you are using a Spriggan and Mandrake pet together, you can trigger this 30x fusion reliably.
How to get: Spriggan pet or Bloom Mutation Spray.
Rot Mutation — 8x Multiplier
Rot is an 8x multiplier mutation that triggers when harvesting Mandrake crops using a Mandrake pet. It gives the plant a decayed, dark aesthetic. Like Bloom, Rot is a component for the Gloom (30x) fused mutation. It is a favorite among players who prefer a "Gothic Garden" or "Twisted Forest" style.
How to get: Mandrake pet only (during Mandrake harvest).
Plasma Mutation — 5x Multiplier
Plasma offers a 5x multiplier and features a high-tech, glowing effect. It is obtained during the Laser Storm or Flamingo Laser Storm events. You can also get it from the Peach Wasp pet. Plasma is a great mid-tier mutation to pick up during the chaotic laser events, adding steady value to your bulk harvests.
How to get: Laser Storm events or Peach Wasp pet.
Cloudtouched Mutation — 5x Multiplier
Cloudtouched (5x multiplier) gives your crops a fluffy, white cloud appearance. It is applied by the Hyacinth Macaw pet or can be found in Cloudtouched Mutation Sprays. It's a peaceful-looking mutation that pairs well with Auroras for a Sky-themed garden plot.
How to get: Hyacinth Macaw pet or Mutation Spray.
Cracked Mutation — 4x Multiplier
Cracked mutation (4x multiplier) triggers during the Earthquake weather event and is also applied by the Badger pet. It gives the crop a stone-like, fractured texture. While it has a lower multiplier, the Earthquake event is fairly common, allowing you to stack Cracked across your entire garden plot easily.
How to get: Earthquake weather or Badger pet.
Verdant Mutation — 4x Multiplier
Verdant (4x multiplier) is a nature-themed mutation focusing on lush greenery. It is applied by the Scarlet Macaw pet or during the Solar Flare event. Verdant is a key ingredient for the Paradisal (100x) fused mutation — if your crop has Verdant and then gets hit by a Heatwave (Sundried 85x), they fuse into Paradisal. Keep your Scarlet Macaw active during hot weather!
How to get: Scarlet Macaw pet or Solar Flare event.
Bloodlit Mutation — 5x Multiplier
Bloodlit gives a 5x multiplier and is exclusive to the Blood Moon event. It replaces the Wet mutation when it triggers. During a Blood Moon, mutation rates across the board are boosted, making Bloodlit a common but cool-looking addition to your event harvests. It's also applied by the Kappa pet.
How to get: Blood Moon weather or Kappa pet.
Weather Events — What to Farm During Each One
| Weather Event | Mutations Available | Best Strategy |
|---|---|---|
| Thunderstorm | Shocked (100x) | Leave S-tier crops in ground. Don't harvest before the storm starts. |
| Meteor Shower | Celestial (120x), Meteoric (125x) | Best weather event for consistent high-value mutations. Farm your best seeds. |
| Black Hole | Voidtouched (135x) | Rarest standard event. Drop everything and farm when it's active. |
| Solar Eclipse | Eclipsed (20x) | Farm Eclipsed if you're building toward Abyssal (needs Voidtouched + Eclipsed). |
| Crystal Beam | Shocked (100x), Celestial (120x), Aurora (90x), Silver variant | Three high-value mutations simultaneously. Prime farming window. |
| Heatwave | Sundried (85x), Solar Flare bonus | Strong event. Farm your best crops. |
| Tropical Rain | Drenched (5x) | Better than Rain/Wet. Good setup for Frozen fusion in next Frost event. |
| Frost | Chilled (2x) → Frozen (10x) if pre-Wet | Always pre-wet crops before Frost to convert to Frozen. |
| Blood Moon | Bloodlit (5x) + general boost | Passive bonus. Farm normally. |
| Bee Swarm | Pollinated (3x) | Stack with other active mutations. |
| Brainrot Portal | Brainrot (100x) | Same multiplier as Shocked. Rarer event. |
| Tornado | Twisted (5x), Cyclonic (50x from Griffin pet) | Medium value. Farm if crops are ready. |
Farming Strategies by Goal
Goal: Maximum Sheckles Per Hour
Priority order for mutations to set up:
- Check event timer before starting — is Thunderstorm, Meteor Shower, or Black Hole incoming?
- If yes: plant S-tier seeds now, they'll mature during peak mutation window
- Apply max-weight fertilizer at 75–80% crop growth
- Farm with a friend active in server for 1.5x boost
- Run Chicken Zombie pet on your best plot continuously (25x every 30 min)
Goal: Getting Abyssal
Hardest non-admin-event mutation. Requires:
- Solar Eclipse weather → Eclipsed (20x) on a crop
- Black Hole weather → Voidtouched (135x) on same crop
- Both mutations coexist → fuses into Abyssal (240x)
These weather events don't come at the same time. The strategy is:
- Get Eclipsed during Solar Eclipse, don't harvest that crop
- Wait for Black Hole event, target the same crop
- If Voidtouched applies to that crop, Abyssal forms
This takes multiple sessions and patience. There's no shortcut.
Goal: Reliable Mid-Game Income
Shocked (100x) is your target. Here's the efficient loop:
- Plant your highest-base crop before any Thunderstorm
- Let it grow during the storm
- Apply max-weight fertilizer at 75–80% growth
- Harvest after the storm ends — Shocked likely triggered
- Check the calculator for exact value before selling
Common Mistakes — Why Your Mutations Aren't Worth What You Expect
You're harvesting before mutations trigger.
Mutations apply at harvest time based on current weather conditions, not when the crop was planted. If you harvest during clear weather right before a Thunderstorm starts, you miss the Shocked mutation entirely.
You're treating Rainbow like a regular mutation.
It's a variant. It multiplies the entire bracket. If your crop shows Gold variant, don't be upset — Gold still multiplies everything by 20x. The math is good. People undervalue Gold because Rainbow exists.
You're not tracking the Amber chain.
Amber (10x) → OldAmber (20x, 24 hours) → AncientAmber (50x, 2 days). If you have a high-base crop with Amber, consider leaving it unharvested for two days. AncientAmber is a 50x variant you got for free by waiting.
You're fusing mutations you shouldn't.
Cosmic (240x) sounds great. But Aurora (90x) + Celestial (120x) stacks to: [1 + (90 + 120) − 2] = 209x inside the bracket, then multiplied by your variant. With Rainbow that's 50 × 209 = 10,450x. The fused Cosmic gives you 240x then times Rainbow = 12,000x. In that specific case, fusion wins. But without Rainbow, stacking often beats the fused result. Check the calculator before letting a fusion happen.
