Mutations are like a box of chocolates, never know what you might get. Except I gave you the leaflet, so now you do (lol). Anyways, here's a look at the next five mutations I've mostly finished polishing off.


First up is the Hammer's Primary Fire. This makes it consume Verdant Mana where it was free before (and it still remains slow unlike the regular upgrade), but means each swing is accompanied by a violent explosion. Quite satisfying to see charred enemies afterwards!

Second, the Hebiko Sceptre's Secondary Fire. This changes it from hypnosis to instigation. The enemy you tag with the eye beam is slowed and annoys other enemies around it, making them quite likely to start infighting. Hypnosis works better on enemies that can cause chaos for you quickly, but instigation is fantastic in tightly packed mobs of critters.

Third up is the Dagon's Cane Primary Fire. This changes the Water Missile into an Aqua-Jet mode, which has unique bounce behaviour. It's actually a bit too OP right now (lol) and needs a bit of adjusting, but as you can see, it excels in ripping up mobs.


Fourth, we have Aestus's Tertiary Fire. It gives the whip a delayed detonation, which increases its range a fair bit in exchange for it having a 'dead-zone' in melee distance. The actual detonation is stronger than the upgraded version but can be difficult to space correctly.

Finally, for Algor, the old Secondary Fire Upgrade (Rapid Ice Spears) is now the Mutation, and the new standard upgrade simply allows you to generate and hold and launch up to six spears at once.

Unfortunately, COVID finally got me last Friday, and basically removed my weekend and Monday as I was totally out for the count. I still expect 0.97 Walp to make it out for October, but probably the end, as a result.
