On certain days, the petal can be purchased in the Shop.

Note: the price depends on how much money is spent. This table shows the prices assuming the lowest and highest amounts of money that can be spent. Also, the stars awarded per ad change depending on the player's highest rarity petal. The table shows the lowest per ad (1) and the highest per ad (3). For more information, go to this page: Stars

Strategy[]

Rice is the petal with the fastest respawn. Its theoretical DPS is high, but since it can't stay on a target forever, it usually ends up being outclassed by Light which has higher damage and health.

Lots of Heavy petals can slow the petal rotation down, allowing a rice to hit its target longer for insane damage. It also has high damage if the user is surrounded by enemies.

Yin Yang can also be used with rice. Put them in your secondary slot and constantly switch it with another petal (which is not Yin Yang) so your rice petals hardly move from their place. This will further increase the DPS of Rice.

Garden[]

• The rice is useful against Centipedes. Since they spawn in groups, it can instantly respawn on the centipede many times, dealing heavy damage.
• The player can use Heavy petals and Light/Pollen to create a wall of rice. By aiming this in a certain direction, the user can create a spot with insane DPS that mobs will have to pass through.

Desert[]

• The wall strategy mentioned above is more effective in desert since all mobs deal damage via contact(except for the scorpion stinger attack). The user should position themselves on an edge and have the rice face outwards. Rapidly switch Yin Yangs in and out to adjust position. Ideally, a teammate will use Webs to slow down incoming mobs.
• Just as it is useful against normal centipedes, rice is good against Desert Centipedes.

Ocean[]

• The wall strategy can be used to follow a Starfish to quickly kill it, and it works against other mobs too. Yin Yangs should be switched to adjust position, thus this strategy requires high skill.

PvP[]

Using[]

• It's best to use these with multiple Fasters as they'll have more effect on quickly respawning.
• The wall strategy is not useful in PvP since players can move around it, though a skilled player may be able to track the opponent by switching Yin Yangs in and out.

Against[]

• Counter the rice with higher DPS by using Lights and Fasters.
• Wings are also a good weapon because when you're in range, the petal can pop up and hit you faster than you can blink.
• Aside from respawn, its stats are similar to a Basic so similar strategies apply.

Trivia[]

• This is one of four petals to not have a visible reload after being equipped, the others being Antennae, Cutter, Disc, Relic and Third Eye.
  • This is the only one that orbits the flower with this trait.
• It was added alongside its opposite twin, Corn.
• For its legacy version, the description states it has no respawn timer, it actually takes 0.04 seconds to respawn (which is just 1 frame). This is faster than any other petal that orbits you (Antennae, Cutter, and Third Eye technically have no respawn).
• Before the December 29th update. mythic+ rices used to be bigger
• Before the 1st May update, Rice reload used to be less than 0.1 sec (0.04 to be exact)
