What Each Mutation Means

Now you know how good each pet mutation is, you’ll also need to find out what they do!

S-Tier

These mutations are the best! You’ll have meta pets if they have any of these mutations.

  • Shocked
    • In a Thunderstorm, every 60-45 seconds, there is a 25-30% chance your pet will be struck by lightning. This gives crops the Shocked mutation, increasing the value by x100.
  • Ascended
    • Every 360-300m, there is a 75-90% chance to apply the Dawnbound mutation, which increases value by x150.

A-Tier

These are still great mutations. Don’t let the lower ranking put you off.

  • IronSkin
    • 35-45% chance to recover stolen fruit.
  • Radiant
    • Every 30-20m, pets will emit sunshine, which increases the growth speed of crops by 24 hours.
  • Rainbow
    • Increases a pet’s passive ability (+20%).

B-Tier

Nestled into the average are these pet mutations. They give mediocre buffs.

  • Golden
    • Increase to a pet’s passive (+10%)
  • Mega
    • Pets have a 20% faster hinger rate and gain 10-40XP per second.
  • Frozen
    • Every 5-0.5m, there is a 20-30% chance that nearby crops become Frozen. This increases the value by x10.

C-Tier

These mutations are weak and don’t give high buffs.

  • Tiny
    • Pets are small and have 20% slower hunger. They gain 5-30xp per second.
  • Inverted
    • An additional 30% boost to pets’ XP each second.
  • Windy
    • Every 300-30m, there is a 20-30% chance that crops get the Windstruck mutation, increasing their value by x2.
  • Shiny
    • Pets gain an extra 15% XP boost per second.

D-Tier

D-tier mutations are the bottom of the barrel and don’t do much.

  • Nothing is here!
