What Plant does
Current rulesCreate a Plant, then use a different Skill or effect that explicitly causes Overgrowth. The creating Skill generally cannot Overgrow its own Plant. Read the exact Plant Skill for the result: Vine Arrow gains damage and area, Entangle gains slower expiry and more attached vines, Thrashing Vines becomes larger and deals more damage, and Briarpatch deals damage more frequently and expires more slowly.
- Create the Plant first
- An Overgrowth effect needs an existing Plant created by a Plant Skill. Creating the Plant and Overgrowing it are separate events.
- Use another explicit Overgrowth source
- The Skill that created a Plant generally cannot Overgrow its own Plant. Use a different Skill or another effect whose text specifically says it causes Plants to Overgrow.
- Water-based Skills can Overgrow Plants
- Certain water-based Skills can cause certain Plants to Overgrow. The interaction is not implied by dealing Cold damage or creating ordinary ground effects; the Skill text must identify the Overgrowth interaction.
- Every Plant defines its own benefit
- Overgrown is a state, not one universal damage modifier. Each Plant Skill states exactly what changes while its Plant is Overgrown.
- Some effects react when Overgrowth happens
- Accelerated Growth supports Plant Skills and triggers its own delayed explosion after a Plant created by the supported Skill is Overgrown. Accelerated Growth II also Blinds enemies Hit by that explosion.
- Boundless Growth can Overgrow immediately
- The Boundless Growth notable gives Plants a 20% chance to immediately Overgrow. This can supply the Overgrowth event without using a separate active Skill on every Plant.
- Plant passives can change the payoff
- Return to Nature makes Overgrown Plant Skills Break 50% increased Armour. Wildsurge Incantation makes Storm and Plant Spells deal 50% more damage and cost 50% less, but gives them 75% less duration.
- Command Skills can provide Overgrowth
- Navira's Oasis converts nearby Chilled Ground into an oasis and causes Plants in its area to become Overgrown, connecting the Plant and Minion Command systems.

Related: Navira's Oasis, Command, Chilled GroundLimits and exceptions
5 rules- Creating a Plant is not the same action as Overgrowing it.
- An effect must explicitly state that it causes Plants to Overgrow.
- Overgrowth has no universal bonus. Use the exact Plant Skill's stated result.
- Not every Skill with the Plant tag necessarily uses the same persistent object or Overgrowth payoff.
- Wildsurge Incantation applies to Plant Spells, so the Plant tag alone does not make an Attack receive its Spell-specific modifiers.
