Emerald Strand
Cost: 3 Gene Points, Max: 2
- Level 1 drops 1% reptile gold when an Emerald crab criticals on a reptile.
- Does not work with Shadow Swarm crabs - only tapped crabs and queens. I confirmed with AppX that this is intended and is not a bug.
- Having both genes makes the total 2%.
- Based on "normal reptile gold" regardless of the type of reptile you are facing. Gold reptiles and boss reptiles still drop gold based on a "normal" reptile.
- See this article for more information on how gold works.
- Mutations Cerulean Walkers and Stalagmite Walkers influence this.
Gene Tree Ascension
- Version 3.80 brought Gene Tree Ascension Tiers which allow levelling up genes to make them more powerful.
- For Emerald Strand this means the base value increases by 1% every level.
