Incense

Incense is a special mechanic allowing for multiple unique events, rewards, and storylines. First, you need the Incense Altar, also called the Buddha Altar. To get there, go to the Gene Room and tap the button on the wall. This will switch between the Arsenal where you can view your gear to the Altar where you can use Incense. To load incense, ensure there are no critters in the Gene Room and tap on the alter.

3 incense can be loaded at one time, and each incense has 5 charges. This is extremely important info later...

## What to Use Incense On

Occasionally, critters will show up in the Gene Room. The most common are the rat, frog, and cockroach. Firing at them, commonly called "lasering," will reduce them to ash, which gives 200 Demon God Cells. Frogs give Zombie Cells, Roaches give Mutant Cells, and Mice give Demon Cells, Angel Cells, and Mecha Cells.

Loading 3 incense at a time into the alter and tapping on it repeatedly will, if there are no other critters in the room, make the shrine angry and shoot at the sky. An object will fall into the pond that can be collected for rewards. Every 5 times this is done provides a unique event and rewards.

## How to Get Incense

Incense is difficult to get reliably, and mostly is obtained through luck. Some incense packs can be reliably obtained one time. These are the known ways of getting incense:

## Special Incense Events

* Sewer Turtle
* Dracula and Cain
* Unicon
* Hitman No. 15
* Cheese or Love
* Unknown Creature

At some point, a small turtle with a purple bandana will appear in the Gene Room. Lasering him takes 3 sticks of incense, and will prompt more turtles to show up later for a fight.

After defeating Sewer Turtle 4, a golden rat will show up in the Gene Room that also needs to be lasered with incense (3 hits). This will reward the Kungfu Rat Gene Sim. and prompt Sewer Turtle 4, now just Sewer Turtle, to begin a mailbox storyline on the path to partnership. He will ask 100k B-tads, a Dragon Orb, and another 5 incense before moving in as a partner.

At some point a bat will appear near the fridge in the Gene Room, and requires 4/5 of a stick of incense (or 4 hits total) to knock down. After 4 hits, he'll drop green goo everywhere before flying off. He'll appear again as Dracula ready for a fight. After eventually defeating him, a new bat will appear in the same place. This bat has a shield and takes 4 incense sticks (or 20 hits total) to knock down and he will also show up for a fight.

The Unicon will only show up after Grandpire has been defeated and 20 or more cockroaches have been killed by the incense altar. This can be done in any order. Once both events are completed, a group of cockroaches will show up. Hitting a small cockroach once with incense will cause them to all congregate together into one big mass known as "Unicon." This fight has 5 total stages

Once Hitman No. 15 EX is defeated in interception, he'll be reincarnated as a god. The next time 100% is reached at the Altar of the Gods, the "God of Whales" will show up to brag about it. He'll also give VVVVIP Card as a first reward. He'll mention "leaving something behind" and at home base there will be a giant god in the sky.

In order to knock him down, 3 incense need to be loaded into the shrine and shot into the sky. If this happens to be a 5-increment-shot, that event will happen first and another 3 incense need to be shot into the sky to defeat him. Doing so rewards Skull of Valor and 1000 W-tads.
Shooting 15-20 blue rats will prompt a rat to drop a minigame called "Cheese or Love" which rewards Angel Cells while playing.

Occasionally the Unknown Creature will appear in the Gene Room. Hitting him with incense will cause him to drop a "Mysterious Thing" instantly and crawl away. (Don't worry, this doesn't affect him very much). Doing this 20 times will drop the green relic Father's Photo.

## Shooting the Sky

Finally, loading 3 incense and tapping the altar repeatedly will "make the shrine angry" and cause him to shoot at the sky. Note that this will consume all of your incense, *however* only 2 and 1/5 stick is really needed. You can take 4 shots at other critters before making the altar angry and it'll still work. However shooting 5 critters will not leave you with enough incense, so be careful!

There are two types of events when shooting out of the sky. The first type is shooting down a helicopter, which is the majority of events. This will only give the same base rewards of: 5-6 random rocket materials, Rank I-IV, Tool Chest +150, and Refine Speedup +4h. The range of materials you can receive is:

 **III** | 4-7

On occasion, there are special shoot-down events that happen after shooting down a certain number of objects, listed below.
