**Overgrowth** is an evolution in tibo.dog. In-game description: “Seeker sprouts that split when they hit.”
## Overview
Overgrowth is the evolution of [Seeker Sprouts](/weapons/seeker-sprouts). To get it, have Seeker Sprouts at level 8 and own [Fertilizer](/passives/fertilizer) at any level, then open a [chest](/chests). See [Evolutions](/evolutions).
It fires 6 homing sprouts (raw amount 5 plus Tibo's base +1, see [Stats](/stats)) every 1 s, 0.08 s apart. Each deals 40 raw damage and flies at speed 200 for 3.75 s (3 s plus the base +25% duration). Sprouts steer the same way as Seeker Sprouts but turn faster (8 radians per second instead of 5). Each sprout has 1 pierce, so it can hit two pests, and **every hit splits off two smaller shards**.
## How it works
- **Launch and steering.** These work as on [Seeker Sprouts](/weapons/seeker-sprouts#how-it-works): sprouts leave in Tibo's facing direction with up to about 69° of random spread, then chase the nearest pest within 200 units. Fast turning keeps the turning circle at about 25 units even at speed 200.
- **Split shards.** When a sprout hits a pest, it spawns 2 shards angled 0.6 radians (about 34°) to each side of its own heading. [sim-BkfBhQfw.js: `let l=k(a,i)+(c===0?.6:-.6);`] A shard has 80% of the sprout's size and half its damage, and lasts 0.8 s. [sim-BkfBhQfw.js: `r.radius[s]=.8*r.radius[t],r.damage[s]=.5*r.damage[t],r.life[s]=.8`] Shards fly straight, do not home, hit one pest each and do not split again. They ignore the pest that spawned them.
- **Per sprout.** The sprout splits on each of its two hits, so one sprout can produce up to 4 shards. A full volley is 6 sprouts, up to 12 sprout hits and up to 24 shards.
**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; pests held 40 to 110 units to Tibo's right): it launched 6 sprouts from Tibo every 1 s, each with a 3.75 s lifetime; the shards appeared away from Tibo with a 0.8 s lifetime, about 240 of them in 10 s. All three seeds gave the same figures.
## Tips
- Shards fan out forward from the pest that was hit, so they do the most in dense crowds where something is behind the first target.
- Extra [pierce](/stats) adds one more hit per sprout, and each extra hit also makes two more shards.
## 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](/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.
| Stat | Value |
|---|---|
| Damage | 40 |
| Cooldown (s) | 1 |
| Amount | 5 |
| Area | 1 |
| Speed | 200 |
| Duration (s) | 3 |
| Pierce | 1 |
| Knockback | 1 |
| Interval (s) | 0.08 |
### Behaviour parameters

## Obtaining
- Get [Seeker Sprouts](/weapons/seeker-sprouts) to level 8 while owning [Fertilizer](/passives/fertilizer) (any level), then open a [chest](/chests). See [Evolutions](/evolutions).
