The Growth Nectar is an Item in Risk of Rain 2, introduced in the Seekers of the Storm DLC.

Each buff the holder has grants a 4% increase to ALL stats for each buff, up to a maximum of 4 (+4 per stack) buffs.

Notes

• Elite Buffs also count towards the activation of Growth Nectar, but any hidden buffs don't.
• Bug: Growth Nectar does increase movement speed, but not acceleration. This creates a slippery effect with your movement. This is noticeable with 2 stacks of Growth Nectar or at high movement speed.
• The buffs granted by this item are multiplicative, not additive, which for the most part means the stat increases are somewhat insignificant unless the player has a high amount of that stat to begin with, for example:
  • Critical chance: with 4 buffs, the base 1% critical chance becomes 1.16%, but with 41% critical chance, 4 buffs results in 47.56% critical chance.
  • Armor: most survivors in the game have no innate armor, which means this item gives none, but for someone like LoaderLoaderThe Loader is a slow but powerful bruiser that can use her grappling hook to uniquely navigate the environment.
    Class: Melee
    HP: 160 (+48 per level)
    Damage: 12 (+2.4 per level)
    Armor: 20
    Umbra: Bionic Powerhouse who has 20 base armor, 4 buffs would increase it to 23.2 which would lead to ~2.5% less damage taken.
  • Regeneration: at level 20 most survivors would have 4.8hp/s regeneration rate, with 4 buffs this would result in a 5.57hp/s rate. For comparison, at this level a single Cautious SlugCautious Slug
    Rapidly heal outside of danger.
    Increases base health regeneration by +3 hp/s (+3 hp/s per stack) while outside of combat. would increase regeneration to 19.4hp/s. A high level survivor was picked for this example as very low level ones would get an even smaller increase without other items.
  • Movement speed and attack speed are a bit of an exception: with 4 buffs, the base 7m/s movement speed becomes 8.12m/s which is the equivalent to having two Paul's Goat HoofPaul's Goat Hoof
    Increase movement speed.
    Increases movement speed by 14% (+14% per stack)., whereas for attack speed it would result in an increase to close to what 2 Soldier's SyringeSoldier's Syringe
    Increase attack speed.
    Increases attack speed by 15% (+15% per stack).s would provide.
  • In essence, Nectar Growth requires a varied mix of items/equipments/survivor abilities that grant buffs and additionally items that grant stats directly to have their effect multiplied, as the base increases are quite low by themselves, unlike Spinel Tonic's60sSpinel Tonic
    Gain a massive boost to ALL stats. Chance to gain an affliction that reduces ALL stats.
    Drink the Tonic, gaining a boost for 20 seconds. Increases damage by +100%. Increases attack speed by +70%. Increases armor by +20. Increases maximum health by +50%. Increases passive health regeneration by +300%. Increases movespeed by +30%.
    
    When the Tonic wears off, you have a 20% chance to gain a Tonic Affliction, reducing all of your stats by -5% (-5% per stack)..
• The increase is critical strike chance is calculated after any other contributions have been converted to critical strike multiplier for Survivors of the Void - DLC Content
