Rebirth Strategy: When & How to Rebirth
Master the rebirth system to maximize your long-term progression. Learn the math behind optimal rebirth timing.
Key Takeaways
- Rebirth resets coins but gives permanent multiplier boosts
- Break-even time determines if rebirth is worth it
- Use the calculator - don't guess your rebirth timing
What is Rebirth?
Rebirth is a prestige mechanic that resets your coins to zero but grants you a permanent multiplier boost to all future earnings. The more times you rebirth, the higher your multiplier becomes.
Warning
Rebirthing at the wrong time can set you back hours. Always calculate your break-even time before rebirthing!
Rebirth Multipliers
Each rebirth level provides an increasingly powerful multiplier:
| Rebirth Level | Multiplier | Coins Required | Boost vs Previous |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 (Start) | x1.0 | - | - |
| 1 | x1.5 | 100K | +50% |
| 2 | x2.0 | 500K | +33% |
| 3 | x3.0 | 2M | +50% |
| 4 | x4.5 | 10M | +50% |
| 5 | x7.0 | 50M | +56% |
The Break-Even Formula
The key to optimal rebirth timing is understanding break-even time. This is how long it takes after rebirthing to earn back what you lost.
Break-Even Time = Current Coins ÷ (Coins/Hour × (New Mult - Current Mult))
Rule of thumb: Only rebirth if your break-even time is shorter than your planned play session.

Rebirth Strategy by Stage
Early Game (Rebirth 0 → 1)
Your first rebirth is the most impactful. The jump from x1.0 to x1.5 is a 50% boost to everything.
- Target: 100,000 coins
- Recommended world: Desert or early Frozen
- Rebirth as soon as you hit the requirement - the boost is massive
Mid Game (Rebirth 1-3)
These rebirths require more coins but still provide significant boosts. Focus on:
- Upgrading your pickaxe before rebirthing (you keep pickaxes!)
- Getting good pets that will carry over
- Timing rebirths at the start of longer play sessions
Late Game (Rebirth 4+)
At this stage, the coin requirements become very high. You'll need to:
- Farm in Space or Void worlds
- Have multiple high-tier pets
- Use potions and gamepasses for maximum efficiency
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Rebirthing too early - If you can't earn back your coins quickly, you've wasted time
- Waiting too long - If you're sitting on 10x the requirement, you're losing efficiency
- Ignoring break-even time - Always calculate before rebirthing
- Rebirthing before a short session - Only rebirth if you have time to break even
Pro Tip
The best time to rebirth is at the START of a long play session (2+ hours). This gives you maximum time to benefit from the new multiplier.
