Big Fry

#Overview

Big Fry is the evolution of Small Fry. To get it, have Small Fry at level 8 and own Fertilizer, then open a chest. See Evolutions.

Every 0.45 s it fires 4 fries (raw amount 3 plus Tibo's base +1, see Stats) at the nearest pest, 0.06 s apart. The fries pierce without limit. Like Small Fry, it gains damage from its kills, now +0.08 raw damage per kill up to +25. The fries also get bigger as the kill count rises, up to three times their starting size.

#How it works

• Kills carry over. Evolving swaps the weapon's definition and resets its ordinary level, but keeps its kill counter. A weapon that was limit-broken retains its breaks and uses the new shape at break level 8.^[1] Without limit breaks, Big Fry's bonuses are worked out from the combined count. Example: a Small Fry that evolves at 240 kills becomes a Big Fry with 10 + 19.2 = 29.2 raw damage and fries 1.4× their base size.
• Damage bonus. The bonus is min(25, 0.08 × kills), added before Tibo's damage multiplier. It is maxed at 313 kills, for 35 raw damage per fry.
• Size bonus. The fry's radius is multiplied by min(3, 1 + kills / 600): double size at 600 kills, triple at 1200.^[2]
• Unlimited pierce and re-hits. Weapons with 99 pierce get unlimited pierce, and pierce bonuses do not change that.^[3] In exchange, a pest can only be hit by this weapon once every 30 ticks (0.5 s). That timer is shared by all of Big Fry's fries.^[4] If two fries reach the same pest within 0.5 s, only the first one damages it.
• Aim. It targets the same way as Small Fry: the nearest pest within 224 units, and it holds fire when none is in range.

Measured in the headless sim (tools/play.mjs, build 41 main-B2gf34bA.js, Standard, Normal, god mode, seeds s1, s2 and s3; the seeded starting weapon removed, the weapon given with give, spawning stopped after 4 s of play and the pests already on the field held at fixed spots with 10⁹ HP; Tibo standing still, facing right, with 8 pests in a line 20 to 90 units to his right): it fired 4 fries every 0.45 s, each spawned with a 1.875 s lifetime; all 8 pests in the line were hit, and no pest was ever hit twice within 0.5 s (the shortest gap between two hits on one pest was 30 ticks). All three seeds gave the same figures.

#Tips

• Against one tough target such as a boss, the shared re-hit timer caps Big Fry at 2 hits per second, however many fries it fires. Its strength is long lines of pests, where every fry passes through all of them.
• Kill bonuses carry over, so a Small Fry with many kills makes a stronger Big Fry from the start. The damage cap is reached long before the size cap.

#Stats

Values are the raw numbers from the game's definitions, before Tibo's global stat multipliers, difficulty and time scaling. In play, Tibo's base stats add +1 amount to every weapon except aura, cone, nuke and ring weapons, and make every duration ×1.25 (see Stats). Field names in code are the game's internal names. Attack descriptions such as “Melee slash” are this wiki's summary of the internal attack kind.

Evolutions have no level-ups in the game data; they use these fixed raw values.

#Obtaining

• Get Small Fry to level 8 while owning Fertilizer (any level), then open a chest. See Evolutions.
