• Increases damage of the AppXplore and Baby Crabs by 30% per gene.
• This bonus is summed up, so all three would be a 90% damage boost to those crabs.

Gene Tree Ascension

• Version 3.80 brought Gene Tree Ascension Tiers which allow levelling up genes to make them more powerful.
• For Appxplore Strand this means .. nothing changes from one level to the next.
• We feel this is a bug.
• If it changes, I'll update the table below

Level	Value	All 3 Implanted
1-10	30%	90%

Should I Get Them?

This gene used to be called Pearl Hunter which gave boss reptiles a 5-15% chance to drop a Pearl. That was a priority gene. Now that it is changed, no, this should not be a priority. Yes 90% damage boost is nice (taking big AppX from 10x damage to 19x damage) but its overall contribution to your damage only makes this valuable to your idle game. It will not push you 10000m higher in your runs.
