🎲 How to Get Mutations
🎰 Method 1: Stock Machine Drops
The most common way to get mutations is through the Stock Machine.
- 10% chance per spin to drop with a mutation
- Random mutation tier based on drop rates above
- Higher rarity plants/brainrots don't guarantee better mutations
- Use Lucky Potions to increase mutation drop chance
✅ Best For:
Getting your first mutations on multiple plants/brainrots
🎫 Method 2: Mutation Tokens
Use Mutation Tokens to add or re-roll mutations on existing items.
- 1 Token = 1 Mutation Roll on any plant/brainrot
- Can re-roll existing mutations for better tiers
- Tokens drop from Daily Rewards and Events
- Can buy tokens in shop for 50,000 cash each
✅ Best For:
Upgrading mutations on your best legendaries/secrets
🎁 Method 3: Special Events
During Admin Abuse and special events, mutation rates skyrocket.
- Up to 50% chance for drops to have mutations during events
- Legendary+ mutation tiers 10x more common
- Free Mutation Tokens given as event rewards
- Stack with Lucky Potions for best results
✅ Best For:
Hunting Galaxy/Radioactive mutations on Secret rarity items
🔥 Method 4: Fusion Mutations
Fused plants/brainrots have a chance to inherit mutations.
- 50% chance to inherit the highest mutation from fusion ingredients
- If neither ingredient has mutation, 5% chance for random one
- Cannot guarantee which ingredient's mutation is inherited
- Great way to get mutations on specific fused plants
✅ Best For:
Getting mutations on fusion-exclusive plants like Carnivorous Plant
🎯 Mutation Priority Guide
What to Mutate First
🥇 Priority 1: Main DPS Plant
Focus on getting a good mutation (Golden 4x+ or better) on your highest DPS plant first. This directly multiplies your cash farming speed. Target: King Limone, Dragon Flower, or Carnivorous Plant.
🥈 Priority 2: Best Brainrot
Get at least a Rainbow (3x) mutation on your highest income brainrot for massive passive income boost. Target: Lemowzio, Tomade Torelli, or your best Godly+ brainrot.
🥉 Priority 3: Fusion Ingredients
Mutate plants you frequently use for fusion. The mutation has a chance to carry over to the fused result, giving you mutated legendaries without using extra tokens.
✨ Priority 4: Collection & Trading
Only after core items are mutated, work on getting mutations for collection completion or trading value. Galaxy mutations on any item can trade for 10x-100x more than unmutated versions.
When to Re-Roll Mutations
✅ Good Re-Roll Targets:
- Neon/Shiny on Secret rarity plants (aim for Golden 4x+)
- Any mutation below Golden on your main DPS plant
- Electric or lower on Lemowzio/top brainrots
- When you have 10+ tokens saved up
❌ Don't Re-Roll:
- Diamond (5x) or better - these are already amazing
- Golden (4x) on non-essential items - save tokens
- When you have less than 5 tokens remaining
- Common/Rare items - not worth the token cost
🧮 Mutation Impact Examples
| Item | Base Stats | With Golden (4x) | With Galaxy (7.5x) | Improvement |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| King Limone | 25,000 DPS | 100,000 DPS | 187,500 DPS | +650% earning speed |
| Lemowzio | 50,900 cash/s | 203,600 cash/s | 381,750 cash/s | +3.3M/hour passive |
| Dragon Flower | 2,500 DPS | 10,000 DPS | 18,750 DPS | +650% earning speed |
| Carnivorous Plant | 1,000 DPS | 4,000 DPS | 7,500 DPS | +650% earning speed |
💡 Why Mutations Matter:
A Galaxy (7.5x) mutation on King Limone means you earn the same cash in 8 minutes that would normally take 1 hour. Over a week, that's 42+ hours saved. Mutations are the single most important progression multiplier in the game.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Do I lose mutations when I rebirth? ▼
No! Mutations are permanent and stay on your items even after rebirth. This is what makes mutations so valuable - they're a one-time investment that pays off forever.
Can I have multiple mutations on one plant? ▼
No. Each plant or brainrot can only have one mutation at a time. Using a Mutation Token on an already-mutated item will replace the old mutation with a new random one.
What's the best mutation multiplier to aim for? ▼
For your main plants/brainrots, aim for at least Golden (4x). Diamond (5x) or better is ideal but very rare. For less important items, even Rainbow (3x) is a solid boost. Don't waste tokens chasing Galaxy unless you have 20+ tokens to spare.
How do Lucky Potions affect mutation chances? ▼
Lucky Potions increase the base chance of getting a mutation from 10% to ~25%. They also slightly improve the odds of getting higher-tier mutations. During Admin Abuse events, combine Lucky Potions with event bonuses for up to 50% mutation chance.
Are mutations worth more in trading? ▼
Absolutely! Trading values for mutated items:
- Golden (4x): 2-3x normal value
- Diamond (5x): 5-7x normal value
- Radioactive (6x): 10-15x normal value
- Galaxy (7.5x): 50-100x normal value (extremely sought after)
Should I use Mutation Tokens on Common/Rare items? ▼
No. Mutation Tokens cost 50,000 cash each and are better spent on Epic or higher rarity items. Common and Rare items are easy to replace and don't benefit enough from mutations to justify the token cost. Save tokens for Legendaries, Mythics, Godlies, and Secrets.
