The odds of obtaining a Mythic Bee in Bee Swarm Simulator (BSS) depend significantly on the type of egg or jelly used. These rare bees are among the most sought-after in the game due to their powerful abilities.
Probability of Getting a Mythic Bee
The likelihood of acquiring a Mythic Bee is determined by the specific egg or jelly you consume. Here are the probabilities associated with common methods:
| Item Type | Base Probability of Getting ANY Mythic Bee | Probability of Getting a Particular Mythic Bee |
|---|---|---|
| Basic Egg | 0% | 0% |
| Silver Egg | 0.1% | 0.01667% |
| Gold Egg | 1% | 0.16667% |
It's important to understand the distinction between the "Base Probability" and the "Probability of getting a particular mythic bee":
- Base Probability: This is the chance of rolling any of the six existing Mythic Bees (Fuzzy Bee, Photon Bee, Vector Bee, Crimson Bee, Cobalt Bee, Tadpole Bee) when using the specified egg or jelly type.
- Probability of Getting a Particular Mythic Bee: This percentage is derived by dividing the "Base Probability" by the total number of Mythic Bees (which is 6). For instance, if you have a 1% chance of getting any Mythic Bee from a Gold Egg, your chance of getting a specific one, like a Fuzzy Bee, is 1% / 6, or approximately 0.16667%.
How These Probabilities Apply
These probabilities are most relevant when:
- Opening Eggs: When you use a Basic, Silver, or Gold Egg, these are the odds that the bee hatching from it will be a Mythic.
- Using Royal Jellies: While not explicitly listed as "Royal Jelly" in the table, the probabilities for Gold Eggs are often considered the baseline for regular Royal Jelly rolls, meaning you have a 1% chance to get a Mythic Bee from a standard Royal Jelly. Other items might grant probabilities akin to Silver or Basic Eggs.
Strategies for Obtaining Mythic Bees
Given the low probabilities, especially for Silver and Basic Eggs, players often employ strategies to maximize their chances:
- Saving Resources: Accumulating a large number of Royal Jellies and using them during events or when boosted luck is available can increase overall chances.
- Targeting Gold Eggs: If possible, acquiring Gold Eggs (which are rarer) offers the highest base probability among the listed items for a random Mythic Bee.
- Mythic Eggs: While not covered by the probabilistic table above, players can also obtain "Mythic Eggs" through various in-game achievements, quest lines, or extremely rare drops. These eggs are guaranteed to yield a Mythic Bee.
Understanding these odds helps players manage expectations and plan their efforts when striving to add these powerful bees to their hive.
