Mid Tier Black Holes
The middle stage of the merge chain, where cash income and raid power scale sharply - from Dark Star to Galaxy Devourer.
Overview
Mid tier black holes run from the Dark Star all the way through to the mighty Galaxy Devourer. This is exactly where your cash engine truly takes off and where raiding other players first becomes a genuinely viable strategy.
Mid Tier Black Hole List
The mid game merge chain in strict order, starting from the Dark Star and moving steadily upward through ten tiers.
Power jumps from a few million into the tens of millions here, so each individual merge feels genuinely significant.
These tiers are where most players build the reliable cash engine that ultimately funds the push to the late tiers.
| Tier | Name | Highlight |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Dark Star | Entry to the mid tiers |
| 2 | Event Horizon | Strong early income |
| 3 | Pulsar | Raid-ready tier |
| 4 | Magnetar | High cash output |
| 5 | Quasar | Major power spike |
| 6 | Star Eater | Strong raid power |
| 7 | Nova | Late-mid tier |
| 8 | Supernova Core | Late-mid tier |
| 9 | Nebula Drinker | Top of the mid tier |
| 10 | Galaxy Devourer | Mid tier ceiling |
The Cash Scaling Jump
Mid tiers mark the single biggest jump in passive income across the entire game. A single Quasar or Star Eater generates far more cash per second than any early tier, which accelerates all of your upgrades.
This is also the stage where attacking other players becomes genuinely rewarding. Your higher-tier holes deal enough damage to steal meaningful cash during successful raids.
Use this income window to max out your slots and push your spawn tier before climbing any further up the chain.
Mid Game Priorities
Three focus areas that define a strong, sustainable mid game economy.
Balance these three carefully rather than over-investing heavily in any single one of them at once.
Neglecting defense in particular is a very common mistake that costs players their hard-earned income engine overnight.
Maximize Cash
Build steadily toward the Quasar and Star Eater for the very steepest income curve in the game.
Start Raiding
Use your mid-tier holes to raid rival bases and steal cash, always mindful of the PvP rules.
Defend Your Engine
Keep your best mid-tier holes completely safe with active protection at all times.
Mid Game Progression Path
A reliable route through all ten mid tiers of the full merge chain, step by step.
Your cash income should always be climbing steadily upward as you progress through each tier.
Never merge away your best income hole until you have a clear replacement ready to immediately take over its role.
