Petals/Petal Slot

## Description

A petal slot is a slot for the flower that allows the player to equip petals from their inventory to their build (The petals they will use). Newcomers start with 5 slots, but at certain points when you get certain levels, you will receive more petal slots. Note that you have a top build and a build underneath. You can switch between one petal at a time by pressing the number indicated above each of your petal slots, which switches it with the underneath it. On mobile though, you can only drag one petal into another occupied slot, which switches their spot and location in your build/s (You can do this on computers too, similar to how you drag petals from your inventory into your build). Unlike florr.io, holding shift with a number will switch the petals after the first set of 1-9 and 0. There are no shortcuts to switch the petal slots after that. To switch your whole build, press "R" (This feature is not available on mobile, and you cannot switch all your petals at once on mobile, which is extremely annoying). All of the information above is extremely important for playing, and there are many techniques to save slots or quickly change builds that require using these above features (scroll down to the "Techniques" section). The chart below shows what level is required for each new slot (You can also view it by clicking the "absorb" button and then clicking the small "view rewards button", but it is extremely long and the end is hard to understand).

Levels required for slots
 11
 21
 41
 71
 101
 131
 161
 191
 191+30n

If you don't understand what the "n" means, it stands for infinite, so after you get to level 191, you unlock a slot for every 30 levels you get to. For example, at Level 221, you unlock your 10th new slot, at Level 251, you unlock your 11th new slot, and at lvl 341, you unlock your 14th new slot (think of it as algebra).

Note: This pattern of 1 slot every 30 levels starts after lvl. 41, but the game doesn't say it, since it's in the same chart as your flower HP and body damage. Since the hp and body damage stats stop increasing after lvl. 191, they stopped the table at that point.

## Techniques

These are techniques and strategies for using your petal slots efficiently.

* It is advised to play hornex.pro on computer rather than mobile.
* If you often use Antennae and Magnet, try putting your Antennae on the top build's "1" slot, and putting your Magnet right underneath that slot in your second build.
	+ To use this, you have to keep your Antennae in your build usually, like when you switch between your second build to your normal build. Click "1" right after you click "R" to change your Antennae back on to your current build, and when you want to pick up a petal from a range, just click "1" and switch right back to Magnet (they are different from their florr.io counterparts, specifically, they work as soon as they are in one of your slots, instead of when it finishes reloading).
	+ This is a great petal slot saving strategy, but it takes a little practice to master, and it takes slightly more time, but once you know how to use it, you can save a slot that could hold a petal you need without taking out other petals.
* It is also almost essential mid-late game to put a Bubble/Nitro build in your second build because it is used frequently (to escape situations where mobs are surrounding you, as well as travelling around the map to areas like Ultra-Hyper).
	+ However, bubbles have extremely long reload early game, so it isn't very useful, so you should just use spider legs (Not powder, since it's much slower)
	+ Nitro is much faster than bubble, but is not recommended either early game, since it causes you to crash into mobs without proper ranged Antennae, and it requires practice with using Yin Yang spam.
