Every Mutation & Its Multiplier
Costs are the Item Shop prices for the matching Potion. Higher multiplier = stronger buff.
| Mutation | EFF Multiplier | Potion Cost | Tier |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starlight | 5x | $5.1Qi | S |
| Petal | 3x | $500T | S |
| Rainbow | 2.25x | $100B | A |
| Candy | 2x | $50B | A |
| Bubblegum | 1.5x | $5M | B |
| Leaf | 1.35x | $1M | C |
How to Get Mutations
- Open the Item Shop in the center of the map.
- Buy a Mutation Potion for the mutation you want.
- Apply the Potion to the ant of your choice — you decide the target.
- Confirm the new EFF multiplier in the ant's stats.
Potions are single-use and expensive, so treat them as a secondary purchase. Colony upgrades should always take priority over items until your economy can afford them comfortably.
The Mutation Removal Potion ($100k) does the reverse: it removes a Mutation from an ant, freeing the slot for a better one later.
Which Ant Should You Mutate?
The rule is simple: the bigger the ant, the bigger the payoff from the multiplier.
Keep Starlight and Petal Potions for Celestial or Mythic ants. A 5x multiplier on a weak ant is wasted.
A Leaf or Bubblegum Potion on your best early ant is a fine bridge to higher rarities.
Mutations multiply EFF; Speed Jelly multiplies collection speed. They stack for maximum Cash per cycle.
