# Mebulis & Level Your Mebulis are your battle team. They have **combat stats**, a **level**, and can be further strengthened with **equipment**. ## Team You assemble a team of up to **5 Mebulis**. The team decides **who** fights in the [Story Battles](https://mebulalegends.bitmeup.com/wiki/en/guide/combat/). There are **3 team slots** (loadouts) for quick switching, from **VIP 6** a fourth one. Each slot remembers the line-up **and** the equipment assignment. The same piece may sit in several loadouts. It is only physically worn in the currently active one. In the **Mebuli Codex** a small badge on the tile shows which team a Mebuli is in. ::: tip Elements in your team matter Matching elements in your team grant bonuses, five different ones protect you against counters. Everything about it under [Element Bond](https://mebulalegends.bitmeup.com/wiki/en/guide/element-bond/). ::: ::: tip Your collection boosts gold Your **gold-per-second** no longer depends on the active team, but on your entire **collection**: every Mebuli you **own** grants a gold bonus by rarity (Common +5% · Uncommon +10% · Rare +20% · Epic +40% · Legendary +80% · Mythic +160%). All bonuses add up and multiply your GPS. See the exact breakdown in the **gold analysis** ( on the Empire screen). Prisma forms count too, transcended Mebulis with the rarity they reached. ::: > On the desktop home screen you see your team on the left. **Hover over a Mebuli** to view its current combat stats, XP bar and equipped gear. ## Combat Stats | Stat | Meaning | |------|-----------| | **Attack** (a) | Determines the damage dealt | | **Defense** (d) | Reduces damage taken | | **HP** (h) | Hit points | | **Initiative** (i) | Decides which side attacks first | | **Critical** (c) | Crit chance (× 4 % per point) | | **Dodge** (v) | Dodge chance (× 2 % per point) | | **Ult Power** | Determines how strong the [ultimate](https://mebulalegends.bitmeup.com/wiki/en/guide/combat/#ultimates) is | | **Ult Defense** | Reduces damage from enemy ultimates and from burn | ## Level Each level increases **Attack, Defense, HP, Initiative, Ult Power and Ult Defense by +5 %** (Crit & Dodge do *not* scale with level). | Level | Stat multiplier | |-------|--------------------| | 1 | ×1.00 | | 5 | ×1.20 | | 10 | ×1.45 | | 20 | ×1.95 | | 60 | ×3.95 | The **maximum level depends on rarity**, rarer Mebulis can rise higher: | Rarity | Max level | |------------|-----------| | Common | 60 | | Uncommon | 70 | | Rare | 80 | | Epic | 90 | | Legendary | 100 | | Mythic | 100 | ::: tip The cap can be broken A **transcendence crystal** opens the [transcendence path](https://mebulalegends.bitmeup.com/wiki/en/guide/transcendence/) of a **final evolution**. Every star earned there raises the maximum level by one rarity tier, up to **100**. ::: Mebulis level up **only through experience (XP)**. There are three XP sources: ### 1. Mission XP (passive) When completing **missions**, **each team Mebuli gains XP**. Once a Mebuli collects enough XP, it automatically levels up. **XP to the next level:** ``` XP = 50 × Level^1.9 ``` | Level → next | XP required | |------------------|--------------| | 1 → 2 | 50 | | 5 → 6 | ~1,064 | | 10 → 11 | ~3,971 | | 20 → 21 | ~14,822 | | 50 → 51 | ~84,530 | The XP per mission increases with your progress; boss missions give significantly more. You can see the current progress as an **XP bar** in the Mebuli window. ### 2. XP Bottles (instant) **XP bottles** give a Mebuli an instant XP boost. There are three sizes: | Bottle | XP | |--------|-----| | Small | 800 | | Medium | 4,000 | | Large | 20,000 | How to **use** them: in the ** Inventory** tap a bottle and pick the target Mebuli, or directly on the **Team page** or in the **Mebuli Codex** under the respective Mebuli (as long as you own bottles). Excess XP flows straight into progress toward the next level. Since the XP requirement rises steeply with level, a large bottle grants a **low-level** Mebuli several levels at once, while for a **high-level, nearly maxed** Mebuli it's only a small boost. Bottles cannot be used on a Mebuli that is already at max level. You obtain bottles from [quests](https://mebulalegends.bitmeup.com/wiki/en/guide/quests/), the login calendar, achievements, the **Afterglow** of the [Resonance Chamber](https://mebulalegends.bitmeup.com/wiki/en/guide/resonance-chamber/) and the [bazaar](https://mebulalegends.bitmeup.com/wiki/en/guide/shop/) (8 / 30 / 120 gems). ### 3. Resonance Chamber (passive, no fighting) Mebulis on the bench collect experience around the clock in the [Resonance Chamber](https://mebulalegends.bitmeup.com/wiki/en/guide/resonance-chamber/). ## Equipment In addition to level, **equipment** boosts combat stats: 8 slots per Mebuli, from the soul weapon to Nature. Details under [Equipment](https://mebulalegends.bitmeup.com/wiki/en/guide/items/). ## Combat power **Combat power** sums up what a Mebuli or team brings to a fight, including base stats, level, equipment and transcendence. The prestige tree does not count toward it. It is the number that shows your progress, and the value auto-equip optimises for. On the [leaderboard](https://mebulalegends.bitmeup.com/wiki/en/guide/social/) your highest value **ever reached** counts, not your current one. ## Transcendence There is only one way for Mebulis to grow beyond the ceiling of their rarity: the [transcendence path](https://mebulalegends.bitmeup.com/wiki/en/guide/transcendence/).
