Other players aggregated Explore run statistics suggesting: > [@Stages to get the Hoard Mimic & it's probability](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/stages-to-get-the-hoard-mimic-its-probability/74663/17): > > 10% chance you will get mimic battle from boss chest. > Another 5-10% chance you will get Hoard mimic battle from mimic battle. > Another 5-10% chance you will get the mythic drop. Combined, this is a 0.025-0.1% chance of getting a Hoard Mimic per Explore Boss defeated. 0.025% is better than the Mythic drop rate from Glory chests (0.01%). 0.1% is same as the Mythic drop rate from Gem Chests. Math aside, the major difference is the sheer amount of player time required to actually reach the Explore boss for just 1 chance at the Boss Chest, vs. acquisition of Gem Keys + redemption in bulk. As such, I certainly wouldn’t mind a higher encounter rate of Mimic Bosses and Hoard Mimics inside that (say, 15% each?) to slightly offset the sheer time and effort involved in farming higher level Explore runs. --- _[View the full topic](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/that-mimic-room-chance-in-explore-is-just-bs/75627)._
