Amethyst Strand
Cost: 3 Gene Points, Max: 2
- This Gene was changed in version 3.80 with the introduction of the Gene Tree Ascension.
- CURRENT: After defeating a reptile, all Amethyst damage is increased by a % for 3 seconds.
- Level 1 increases Amethyst damage by 100% per gene.
- Having both genes will double the damage bonus offered.
- It specifically notes that the timer resets on kill, meaning if you are killing reptiles faster than 3 seconds, this is effectively a permanent buff until you slow down.
- PRE 3.80 Update (before 2025) Spawns an additional Amethyst crab every 7 taps, per gene. This tapping mechanic was moved into a new gene called Amethyst Cloning.
Gene Tree Ascension
- Version 3.80 brought Gene Tree Ascension Tiers which allow levelling up genes to make them more powerful.
- For Amethyst Strand this means the base value increases by 100% every level.
