Yep, this is the sixth preview for mutations (boy is there alot in this upcoming patch!). First up, the Dagon's Cane Secondary Mutation: Vortex Blast, which replaces the usual Geyser with a vicious whirlpool. It has less stun and upwards throw on single targets, but disrupts all nearby enemies, making it superb for mobs.

Next we have the Wolf Mode Tertiary Mutation: The Charge Punch. You lose the jump slam of the original in exchange for a rushing smack-down, which makes it a fantastic gap closer and smackdown for individual enemies.

Third, we have the Gladius Tertiary Mutation: Bladestorm. Instead of channelling to create the close range Hurricane, you instead launch a spread-shot of weaker wind-blades. The more you charge, the more blades, in a shotgun- like pattern.

Fourth, the new regular upgrade for Algor's Tertiary Fire. The old upgrade (Ice Prison) is now the mutation for Algor. This is the regular upgrade, and simply supplements your usual Glacial Spikes with additional Icy Stumps for more AoE and damage.

Finally, I had to replace the previously shown mutation for Fulgur's Primary. Unfortunately, it caused pretty high lag in testing in frenzied battles, and considering I have a good machine, that's pretty shocking (pun intended). So instead, the mutation is now Lightning Helix; which fires an intertwining beam of orange and blue lightning in a single shot, rather than channelling. It has a much longer range, giving Fulgur a sniping option. This actually got a new hand sprite as well!
