Overview

Rebirth is the endgame reset in Merge a Black Hole. Once your total black hole power reaches about 500 million, you can rebirth to reset your holes and progress in exchange for permanent boosts and new content. It's the goal after reaching the Omega Hole.

Requirement:~500M total power
What Resets:Holes and progress
Reward:Permanent boosts
Unlocks:New content

What Rebirth Does

Rebirthing wipes your current black holes and base progress, returning you to an earlier state. In exchange, you gain permanent boosts that make every subsequent run stronger and faster.

Because the boosts persist across rebirths, each cycle compounds - experienced players rebirth repeatedly to stack rewards and push deeper into the merge chain.

Rebirth also unlocks new content not available in a first playthrough, giving long-term players fresh goals beyond the initial climb to the Omega Hole.

Path to Your First Rebirth

A reliable route from the mid game to the 500M threshold.

Each phase builds the power needed for the next.

Protection is critical near the end - losing an Omega Hole can delay rebirth significantly.

1

Build a Cash Engine

Establish strong passive income to fund continuous merges.

2

Reach Late Tiers

Climb into the late tiers toward the Omega Hole.

3

Accumulate 500M Power

Stack Omega-tier power until you hit the threshold.

4

Rebirth

Reset for permanent boosts and new content, then start your next, faster run.

Protect your power-generating holes with best-hole protection as you approach 500M - a raid could erase your progress.

Before You Rebirth

A little prep ensures you don't lose value in the reset.

Spend Stars

Use Stars on desired upgrades before they may reset.

Claim Sun Rewards

Collect any pending Sun rewards before rebirthing.

Protect Progress

Don't reset during an exposed PvP window.

Rebirth rewards compound - each cycle is faster than the last thanks to permanent boosts.
