Plague Inc.: How to Win as the Fungus

Burst some spores

As mentioned before, the fungus pathogen can prove quite challenging to spread later in Plague Inc.. That’s why it’s best to pour some early points into six Spore Burst abilities and one Spore Eruption ability. The former infects one country at random, whereas the latter will infect five.

That’s a total of eleven countries infected at a relatively low cost. This is better done early on in the match, since your fungus isn’t that big of a well-known threat yet. Seeing how you’ve already infected one of the two hardest to reach countries by picking it as your starting position, it’s pretty much guaranteed you’ll infect America and/or Europe with the Spore abilities, which will greatly boost the spread of your pathogen to nearby countries.
