The four-part ranking
Rank rare eggs by evidence you can observe during play, not by thumbnail hype.
- Rarity: the label or spawn frequency you actually see
- Return: the fish income after hatching
- Route: time from spawn to safety
- Risk: how exposed you are to other players
When to skip a rare egg
Skip a glamorous target when your swim speed cannot support the return route, your base upgrade is nearly affordable, or several players are already contesting the same zone. Banking a reliable egg can beat losing a rarer one.
Promotional clues are not a tier list
Official art features dramatic rainbow eggs and fish, but promotional rarity text does not establish a complete live ranking. The table will stay conservative until the live game confirms names and outcomes.
