Do sprites actually batch?

By design do sprites contained in multiple tileset actually batch?

I created a single PNG spritemap for my dungeon floor, sliced it up and then duplicated it many times to make the level, but I see a huge number of batch calls, but no batching actually occuring?

Is this by design, or do you have to do simething to make duplicated tiles batch?

I should mention that they have a tag and are set as static.

 

They do batch, they have to be on the same image tho (or use sprite packer).
I do not know how does it actually work.
But formy project using sprite packer saved me tons of draw calls

 

They are all in the same image, I only have 1 PNG file in my project, I have also tried using the sprite packer, but nothing, no sprite batching at all.

 

Would like to know the answer to this as well. I think they do batch, but it is not apparent from the stats...

 

In my case it´s clear that sprite packer saves batches :C
Played around changing z, static, tag and color and none change the batches

 

I guess what is confusing me is the "saved by batches" I thought this showed you what unity was optimising internally in terms of draw calls, dynamic batching etc.

 

That might only work with 3D, I guess 2D batching is processed in a different way

 

Not sure how to check if sprite batching is working or not. I have tints applied to 2D sprites with a pixel snap material and am not sure.

 

As stated above, it's the "batches" stat. Tinting sprites is handled with vertex colors rather than different materials, so batching still works.
