Ranks & conditions

What SS+, X+ 90%, SXD +300% +300kill, Burrowed and the other recipe conditions mean, and where each one appears.

A condition belongs to one ingredient. In Talandar = Karax X+ 90% + Alarak X+ 90%, both units must meet it; in Mohander = Purifier Colossus X+ + 4× Void Ray, only the Colossus has a condition.

Ranks

The ranks written in recipes are, lowest to highest: S, SS, SSS, X, XD, SXD.

Written Meaning
SS+ SSS+ X+ XD+ that rank or better
SS SSS exactly that rank. They appear only on the Dark Templar pair, where SS gives a Sentinel and SSS a Centurion
SXD the highest rank written. It appears only on Special Ops Nova, Terra-Tron, Amon, Spear of Adun and Xel'Naga Kerrigan, always with +300kill

Is that the whole ladder?

The order is read from the wording of the sources (“Rank SSS or better”, “X or higher”, “both must be X or XD”), not from a list of ranks. Ranks below S never appear in a recipe. If you know the full rank list, it belongs here.

Other conditions

Written Meaning
Burrowed the unit must be burrowed when it is merged
Level 7 Lv11 the unit’s level. The older list speaks of units “upgraded to exactly level 3”
+300kill read as: the unit has 300 kills
90% 150% 200% 300% not explained by either source

Open question: the percentages

Neither source says what 90%, 150%, 200% or 300% measure. They grow with the rank they are written next to (X+ 90%, X+ 150%, XD+ 200%, SXD 300%), so they look like a second threshold the unit has to reach. The source writes both “SXD 300%” and “SXD +300%”; both spellings are kept as written.
