Changes: Amp

Latest revision as of 09:11, 4 February 2024

Amp is an electric eel with the ability to charge up with electricity. The resulting charge can be used to gain a substantial amount of money.

Behavior

Amp swims around the tank in a slithering motion. He periodically charges up with electricity and players can click on Amp three times in order to discharge him, shocking every guppy in the tank to death and spawns a free baby (if there are no other fish types in the tank such as Carnivore, Starcatcher, Guppycruncher, Beetlemuncher, Breeder, and Ultravore) every time an electrocution is administered in exchange to the electrocuted guppies. A diamond will come out of them to be collected for each guppy. If left for too long, the lightning bolt on him will change to orange, then red, before finally zapping the water on its own. Due to Amp spawning a free guppy after each electrocution, it is one of the three instances where emptying the tank will not make the player lose the level (the other two are if all guppies are turned into Nostradamus as long as there are no other fish types, and if all of the fish are dead in Tank 1-1 if playing for the first time).

Synergies

Paired with Angie to quickly revive the fallen guppies, Amp is able to produce thousands of dollars in a single shock, especially in Tank 4 where guppy breeding never ends. Presto as a second Angie can further improve the revival rates of shocked guppies, making this strategy very useful in Challenge Mode. Walter is extremely useful with Amp, as he circumvents Amp's biggest weakness (His slow charge time) by instantly charging him.

Amp can also be paired with Prego for her constant guppy production, allowing Amp to get maximum value from each shock.

Story

THE STORY OF
AMP THE ELECTRIC EEL

Rumors have been circulating for years now that some companies have developed a way to make AMP turn water into diamonds. Conspiracy theorists believe that it is simply the interests of the greedy diamond lobby that have prevented this research from becoming available to the general public. AMP is closed-mouthed on the subject.

Trivia

Amp, along with Gash and Shrapnel, are the only pets that pose a death risk to the player's fish.
- He will only kill special food guppies in Virtual Tank, and they will turn into conch shells.
  - Normally, the number of these guppies the player can have at one time is locked to the number of carnivores and guppycrunchers in the tank; However, Amp and Gash (along with Presto if he turns into one of the other two) raise this cap by one each, and allow you to place additional guppies beyond the normal limit, which can be useful when Amp's electric shock is ready.
His name, "Amp", is the unit used to measure electrical current (ampere).

-'''Amp The Electric Eel''' is just what his name says. He is an electric eel that drifts around the tank. After some time, he will be charged. Clicking on Amp will charge him up even more, until he releases the charge, electrocuting all [[Guppy|guppies]] in the tank, turning them into [[Diamond|diamonds]]. After which, a new guppy will be given to you as a replacement for the guppies lost (except in [[Virtual Tank]] in which he only kills the non-store bought guppies).

-Amp is a good way to earn money in the later part of the game. Pairing him with [[Angie]] and [[Prego]] can give you over 4000$ in one shock. If 4 pets can be brought, bring [[Presto]] along as a second Angie to save more of the fishes. This strategy is recomended in Challenge Mode bacause of constant price increasement.
