Ride A Fish Weather Guide: Rain, Lightning Strikes and the Egg Rays Event

Rain is the recorded weather state in Ride A Fish, and the game announces it plainly: the weather indicator reads Hujan — Indonesian for Rain — beside a rain/lightning icon and a weather countdown. Rain matters because lightning during it can trigger mutations, and the two recorded strike types do not do the same thing. Ride A Fish's official description says rain can strike your fish, mutate them and make them faster. The one strike documented from start to finish in reviewed footage hit a different target: a carried Coral Egg, which gained a Rays label while its delivery clock kept running.

The fastest way to read any strike is the notification itself, because it names the object that was hit. A lightning flash alone proves nothing.

Recognizing rain in Ride A Fish

The weather indicator is the cue to trust. In the recorded strike event, it displays Hujan next to a rain/lightning icon, with its own countdown for the weather. Players also run into rain without hunting for it: one recorded run stops on "the rain is really heavy", tries a dive in the downpour and finds it works fine, and another reacts to a "rain bomb" while hauling an egg. That dive check is a single observation, not a rule.

Two cautions when reading the display. First, a lightning flash by itself is not confirmation of anything — check the weather indicator before you attribute a light effect to rain. Second, the recorded label comes from an Indonesian-language client, and what other client languages print in that spot is unverified, so treat the rain/lightning icon and countdown as the reliable part of the display.

Lightning strikes that affect fish

The fish-side outcome rests on the developer's own description. Dream TW Games' how-to-play text on the Roblox game page states: "The rain can strike your fish, causing them to mutate and become faster." That is an official claim about the mechanic — not a recorded demonstration of any particular strike.

Player recordings add sightings, not proof. One player's fish is struck by lightning and he announces a bubble mutation; the same player names the fish mutations Bubble, Thunder and Bolt, claiming Bolt raises both money and speed the most. Another player separately calls out a Thunder mutation. None of this is verified: no supplied recording shows a fish mutating with a readable before-and-after label, and the payout and speed figures are commentary. The same narrator's separate egg-stage set — "ray api" and "Xstar", with Xstar claimed to be worth five times — is likewise unverified, and those names do not match the recorded Rays label below.

For the fish-side outcome in detail, the Ride A Fish lightning mutation page covers what a strike does to a fish.

The separately recorded carried-egg Rays event

One documented event shows a strike hitting an egg instead of a fish. In a recorded DEDE TWINS playthrough:

1. Before the strike, the basket carries a named Coral Egg with no mutation label while the avatar rides underwater.
2. During rain, with Hujan on the weather indicator, lightning hits and a notification explicitly names the Coral Egg and RAYS.
3. Afterward the basket shows a Rays label and a Mut[RAYS] x1.5 label appears near the avatar. The footage never shows which quantity the x1.5 multiplies.
4. The egg transport countdown keeps falling after the strike; the weather countdown is a separate display. Keep riding the return route — the mutation does not pause the clock or protect the egg.
5. The recorded run still fails: time runs out, the game reports the egg returned to its spot, and the basket ends up empty. The mutated egg is never delivered or hatched on camera.

Two practical points follow. The strike itself did not destroy the egg — only the normal delivery deadline did. One transcript describes a carried egg breaking after a hit, but it never confirms rain caused the break, so treat that as anecdote. And because the recorded egg expired before hatching, no source shows what a Rays egg grows into: one game listing separately claims "During rare weather, eggs can mutate and mutant fish will appear from them," but that hatch result was not observed in this event.

If rain catches you mid-delivery, keep the delivery route as your immediate task — how to deliver eggs covers the delivery itself — and note any explicit state change on the way. An observed egg is not yet a delivered egg. The egg-side details continue on the Ride A Fish rays egg mutation page.

How to tell what a strike hit

The demonstrated event names the carried egg, so a flash does not mean your fish mutated. To classify any strike: read the notification, identify the object it names, then compare that object's label before and after. A visible lightning effect, an explicit egg mutation, and a faster fish are three different claims — no one of them proves the others.

Read your egg's basket label before rain starts if you can — the before label is what makes a later mutation message checkable. If you are testing rain without a delivery, note the object and its starting state first so any later change has a baseline.

Unknown event scheduling and chances

The honest answer is that rain's numbers are not documented. The reviewed material establishes no way to summon rain, force a strike, or guarantee a Rays result, and one observed strike cannot establish its probability, the exposure it requires, or whether every egg and fish is eligible. Rain frequency and duration are unknown, so treat any rain schedule as unproven rather than planning around one.

The only observed timing displays are the weather countdown beside the rain indicator and the separate egg transport deadline — which kept falling even after the mutation. No universal timer length and no special rain delivery extension are documented, so handle a rain delivery like any other: pick a familiar return landmark and read the current deadline.

The Mut[RAYS] x1.5 label does not identify the affected quantity, so no movement, income, weight or hatch bonus is established, and inheritance through hatching, persistence after rejoining, stacking and replacement rules all remain unverified.

Bottom line: rain is visible and worth reacting to, but what a strike changes depends on what it hits — check the named object and its labels, not the flash.
