# CAThlete Fusion

Welcome  <mark style="background-color:green;">**CAThlete Fusion**</mark> - the good old event but now as a **permanent feature** in Walken, like breedin&#x67;*. This means that you can optimize your CAThlete set-up smartly whenever you want, as many times as you can!*

* **Fusion price:** the *total **cost*****&#x20;of a fusion** is calculated as a ***sum of costs*****&#x20;per participating CAThlete**. In turn, the cost per CAThlete depends on its rarity: the higher the rarity, the higher the price.
  * &#x20;common CAThlete: 20 WLKN + 100 Mysberries
  * &#x20;uncommon CAThlete: 40 WLKN + 300 Mysberries
  * &#x20;rare CAThlete: 950 WLKN + 2,500 Mysberries
  * &#x20;epic CAThlete: 1,950 WLKN + 5,000 Mysberries
  * &#x20;legendary CAThlete: 4,950 WLKN + 8,000 Mysberries

Fusion involves *blockchain interaction* to be completed, more than any other action in Walken. Thus, a **fee in SOL** is also part of the cost:&#x20;

✅ a **fee for the transfer of fused CAThletes** *(the amount depends on the number of CAThletes you fuse)*

### How It Works

Fusion is basically exchanging  the CAThletes you own ***for a brand new one***, fresh and ready to compete. Use the magic portal and **exchange up to 5 NFT CAThletes to one new CAThlete** at a time with 0 chances to get a Common one. The chances of getting a higher-rarity new CAThlete are affected by the **number** of fused CAThletes as well as their **rarities and levels**. The more CAThletes step into 'the portal', the *higher the chances of getting a new rarer character*!

The best part is that it's possible to **fuse Common CAThletes and get a Rare or even Legendary one**!

## **FUSION KEYNOTES** <a href="#df23" id="df23"></a>

* Only **NFT CAThletes** (level 6–**13**) can be fused.
* The NFT CAThletes you fuse will no longer be part of the game and <mark style="background-color:orange;">will be burnt</mark>.
* As a result of fusion, you'll get <mark style="background-color:orange;">**ONE NON-NFT CATHLETE**</mark><mark style="background-color:orange;">.</mark>
* The **rarity drop chances** are calculated based on the **number** of fused CAThlete and their **levels**. *The more CAThletes per fusion and the higher their levels, the higher the chances of getting a rarer new CAThlete from the range of possible rarities;*
* **0%** drop chance for Common.
* <mark style="background-color:green;">**5% chance to get a unique attribute -**</mark> [<mark style="background-color:green;">**Rainbow Eyes**</mark>](https://docs.walken.io/cathletes/rainbow-eyed-cathletes)<mark style="background-color:green;">**.**</mark>
* The **max possible level** for new CAThlete is the **lowest level** of the fused CAThletes.&#x20;
* The **chances** to get a level from the range of possible levels depend on the **breed counts** of the fused CAThletes. *The more unused breedings each of the fused CAThletes has, the higher are the chances to get a new one of a higher level.*
* The specific rarity and level drop chances are **calculated in the application** once you’ve selected CAThletes for fusion.
* Players may fuse **several times** as long as they have required CAThletes and there are available fusions in the total fusion pool for the event.
* The output of the fusion **belongs to the Genesis** generation if one of the fused CAThlete was Genesis.
* Only <mark style="background-color:red;">$</mark><mark style="background-color:red;">**WLKN from the main wallet**</mark> are accepted as payment for fusion.

### Multiple-Gene Fusion

A *game-changing update to Fusion* is here, based on your invaluable feedback! Until now, there was *no connection* between the gene setups of the CAThletes being fused and the ***gene setup of CAThletes coming from fusion***: it has been *generated randomly*.&#x20;

Now you have the power to **directly influence the&#x20;**<mark style="background-color:green;">**number and rarities of non-common genes**</mark> that your new CAThlete receives! This means you have a powerful tool to aim for the **gene setup that&#x20;*****best suits your gaming strategy.***

&#x20;<mark style="background-color:yellow;">GO FOR CATHLETES WITH MULTIPLE NON-COMMON GENES</mark>&#x20;

* To boost chances for ***several genes better than common*** for the new CAThlete, you may:
  * add into fusion **one** *CAThlete with* **several non-common genes** *- uncommon, rare, epic, or legendary genes*
  * **OR** fuse **up to 5 CAThletes with one non-common gene** in each - *or  Common CAThletes!*

<mark style="background-color:purple;">**SPECIAL BONUS FOR GENESIS**</mark>: *If one of the fused CAThletes belongs to generation Genesis,* you **receive another Genesis CAThlete** as a result of fusio&#x6E;*, with a 100% guarantee*.&#x20;

*Note that fusing more than 1 Genesis CAThlete doesn’s give you any further advantages.*

What that means is that it's possible to get a Genesis legendary CAThlete with up to 5 non-common genes out of 5 common CAThletes! **Lots of other&#x20;*****profitable combinations*****&#x20;are possible, too (you'll be able to check all chances right in the app) - just go to the app,&#x20;*****try and see for yourself***. And just like before, the chances of obtaining a common CAThlete remains absolutely  0️⃣, ensuring a truly remarkable Fusion journey.
