Mewgenics Junkyard or Sewers: Which to Pick
Junkyard and Sewers are the two second area choices in Mewgenics, and which one is harder depends heavily on your build. For most players, Sewers feels harder because of environmental currents, leeches, and sharks. Junkyard can be brutal too, especially with thorns and certain enemy chains, but it is usually more predictable.
If you are unsure which path to take, your party composition should decide for you.
Junkyard Difficulty Breakdown
Junkyard is mechanically straightforward but punishing if you misplay.
You will deal with:
Thorns damage
Chain attacking enemies
Blind effects
Heavy bleed stacking in some encounters
The damage in Junkyard tends to come from direct combat interactions. If you have strong frontline cats, solid sustain, or scrap and rock synergy, Junkyard is manageable.
The main threat is burst chains from certain enemy pairs. If you trigger the wrong interaction, your team can get wiped fast.
Fire builds often perform well here unless weather events interfere.
Sewers Difficulty Breakdown
Sewers introduces environmental control mechanics.
You will deal with:
Water currents that move units
Leeches that apply pressure
Sharks that snowball without bleed control
Currents are the biggest adjustment. If you do not plan movement carefully, you take unnecessary damage.
Sharks are dangerous unless you can apply bleeding. When sharks have bleeding stacks on enemies, they will attack each other in a feeding frenzy. Without bleed access, fights become much harder.
Lightning builds often perform well in Sewers unless specific weather events reduce effectiveness.
Build Based Area Selection
Your party spec should guide your decision.
Mage builds
Fire heavy builds tend to perform better in Junkyard
Lightning focused builds often perform better in Sewers
Tank builds
Scrap and rock based builds lean toward Junkyard
Knockback and trample builds can handle Sewers well
If you lack bleed application, Sewers becomes much more dangerous. If your team struggles with thorn retaliation and chain reactions, Junkyard becomes riskier.
Weather events can also flip the difficulty. Rain in Junkyard weakens burn setups. Ice storms in Sewers can disrupt lightning plans.
So Which Is Harder
For most players, Sewers feels harder due to environmental control and shark pressure.
Junkyard punishes mistakes but plays closer to standard combat rules. Sewers changes positioning and demands specific counters like bleed.
If your build lacks bleed or movement tools, Sewers is usually the tougher path.
Final Blurb
In Mewgenics, Junkyard and Sewers both present strong challenges, but Sewers often feels harder due to currents and shark mechanics. Junkyard focuses on thorns, chain attacks, and bleed pressure. Choose your second area based on your party build. Fire builds lean Junkyard, lightning and knockback builds often handle Sewers better.
The right path depends on what your team can counter.
